Exactly.
Something I've learned in my journey to lose weight is that you eventually relax a little and stop freaking out over every little detail.
Like to Misti, for example... I can appreciate the fact that you want to eat clean. I think that's great. But you've got to stop trashing and bashing every food product you don't approve of. I used to do that too. But I relaxed eventually and you will too, with time. Like the way you bash the Lean Cuisines... yes, to you, they're crap. But some of us
DO eat them and we eat them regularly and I don't think it's necessary for you to continually bash these food products. I can't count how many posts there are of you literally
thrashing calorie-controlled meals, even to those people who admit they eat them on a regular basis. That's not nice, honey. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean no one else does. It's like a belief in a religion, for example - I may not believe in a particular religion, but I respect the beliefs and opinions of those who do. And I'd never make them feel lousy for holding onto those beliefs.
I respect your opinions, but so many of your posts about food are on the negative side. I'm not saying you're being negative for wanting to stop using cooking spray. That's not my point. That's your right and your opinion. What I mean is you tend to REALLY lash out with your beliefs about food that you don't approve of, even though others are eating those foods regularly.
You're entitled to your opinions just like the rest of us - but don't be so harsh about it and sit there and blatantly call foods that some of us eat regularly CRAP. That's your opinion. And that's great. But respect the opinions of those who happen to like these foods.
You'll relax in time. And no, I'm not saying you'll relax to the point where you'll start eating the foods you disapprove of. I mean you'll relax to where you're doing your thing and letting others do theirs without posting negative comments about their beliefs
And editing to say, I'm not trying to offend you or make you mad. I'm just saying I think you need to relax a little. And to be honest, I've been wanting to say this to you for some time now. If I've upset you, it's not my intention. I'm just spouting off some constructive criticism is all because sometimes (Im not saying always) you can get pretty nasty when you start your bashfests on certain foods.
