Maybe I woke up in a bad mood, or maybe I just want to rant, but sometimes I get so pissed off at the "support" offered by some on this forum. Specifically, people who come along to tell stories of how they "cheated" or they ate some chicken because they felt hungry or they couldnt stick to it cos the day had the letter Y in it. Immediately they get a dozen posts telling them its fine, they are ok, it wont do any harm, the diet will still work for them, they are doing great etc.
Maybe its because I'm a bloke and the world is more black and white to me, but in my mind that isn't fine, they aren't doing ok and the diet wont still work for them because they aren't on the diet!
someone else I know complains that the diet isnt working for her and that she would be better off on Atkins or something... I don't offer her words of comfort, I tell her straight that she if she is out on the booze all weekend and stuffing sunday roast dinners down her throat then she isnt on the diet and should stop complaining that it doesnt work.
the diet works, it works fantastically well, but like the national lottery... if you're not in it, you can't win it and telling people that "cheating" (IE not actually being on the diet but believing that eating AND taking a cambridge shake is somehow being on the diet) is ok isnt really all that supportive.
Rant over
Seeya soon!
