The Hate:
Cheeseslave shared one of my FB posts on her wall and some of her fans WENT OFF on me! All sorts of crazy accusations here. Did you know soy is my primary source of protein? Neither did I. But someone said it on Cheeseslave’s wall, so it must be true.
A low-carber blog post dedicated entirely to shaming my body. This was, as best I can tell, a reaction to something Melissa McEwen said about Jimmy Moore on her Tumblr blog. Because Melissa used me as an example of someone who’s lost and kept off weight without restricting carbs, the low carb community seems to think it’s appropriate to accuse me of using steroids and having an eating disorder (and being ugly, which is so relevant, right?). Because obviously no one can lose weight and keep it off without restricting carbs, right?
Here’s a guy on bodybuilding.com who read one of my blog posts and speculated that I must be a ‘whale’ in order to have the opinions I do. When I showed up, not a whale, he compared me to a holocaust victim. Nice.
One time, a low-carber came to my facebook wall and started a thread about how dumb and fat I am. She managed to accuse me of using steroids too. It’s a fun read.
Have you run across a blog post or forum thread dedicated to hating on me? Send me the link and I’ll add it to my collection!
Wow, there’s a LOT of hate out there for sure! As a 41 year old mother of four, trying DESPERATELY to undo years of damage to her own body as a result of “dieting” (and all the false “help” that goes along with it), and who ALSO has a “man’s” haircut (although, I’d say ours is more “pixie” which is RATHER feminine . . .) I’d like to say WHAT an inspiration you are to me. Rock on, girl. Haters will hate, nothing you can do about that. And THANK YOU for the inspiration!!!
I just want to say that I freaking love you and that you are HUGE inspiration to me and are the sole reason why I’ve given up on any and all diets completely. Cheers to LIVING! I’m going kaleo baby!
ooh, girl. The hate is for real, but what can you do? Keep on changing lives and doing what you do, there will always be haters trying to block progress.
You seriously crack me up. I’m glad you can take people’s opinions with a grain of salt.
Haters gonna hate! Backlash is proof that you are doing something RIGHT, without the gimmicks. If I were a gimmick I would not be kind to you, either! Keep up the good work and know that for every “hater” you have 10 fans.
