This thread is great and made my day complete!  I love you guys!

I have really enjoy reading the info from Kelly and Melissa, so thanks you guys.  Totally not making fun of you.  It doesn't mean that I will actually follow suit but it opens my eyes.  I have made changes in my family life this year as well and I think that a lot comes from life experiences.  We still probably consume too much sugar but I have cut down red meat and sodium drastically after my moms illness and my dads cancer. 

I'm am probably the most guilty of being a closet eater of all things horrible when my kids are in bed.  You know because I don't want them to eat this crap but it's okay for me. LOL!

you know when I come visit we are eating only tofu,lol (kidding)

I can tell you that there will be times in my life that I will get wild and crazy and eat like shit :)

i know we're not the healthiest, but right now, i just don't see us changing.

Really, April? You feel like you're going to croke?

 

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

 

Honestly, I'm just grateful for new threads to read, period. Including this one. I don't remember one of these since the IV days. (Too many pthlates have destroyed my memory.)

so confused.

It was a grammar joke... "croke" instead of "croak". (That was why I singled you out... because it was a grammar reference.)

Sorry the humor wasn't obvious (or even necessarily present). :(

I think she meant that you said you were feeling the same way as Corey-and Corey's title said we have her convinced she is going to croak. KWIM?

omg.

the typo.

now i gotcha tx.

lmfao!

Ok, whew.

Kelly - don't feel bad at all!  I think we all appreciate reading your posts, even if we can't all do what you are doing.

I was just going to message you on facebook re: your comment on my photo this morning.

I change hourly from not being pretty lax about it all, to freaking out completely. I'm glad that either way, I'm not alone, lol.

(I am, however, beyond glad that the roads are bad enough to keep me from seeking out chip dip, lmao.)

---

now i feel like everyone's talking about me behind my back....paranoid...

 

---

Nooo! Not at all. It was a pic of breakfast - pancakes with marshmallows. Corey made a comment about feeling better that she wasn't the only one to not jump on the MS bandwagon. Totally not talking about you behind your back! But maybe you should add us all on FB just to make sure. ;)

 

---

...i was going to let this go, but it's still on my mind this morning - it's not so much the comment on the picture, but the fact that there was going to be a message sent in response.  that's really where the feeling of being talked about was coming from.
i just had to get that clarification off my chest.

 

 

---

Okay, the horrid thing all this is that I just can't backtrack it all and take it back.


I'm sorry that it's bothering you Kelly. Like I said, I didn't look at the bigger picture, said my speel without really looking at how it'd be taken. I'm not mocking you, I'm not being passive aggressive (and believe me if I was, I'd tell you. I pretty much have a degree in it.) and at this point I wish I hadn't said anything at all because I just didn't word it like I should have. I think what you are doing is great. I think in many of the related posts I've expressed interest in following along.

You're doing great, I'm sorry I said anything at all, and that's about all I can say besides that I'm sorry that something I've said has bothered you.

This thread is giving me a chuckle because it reminds me of my sisters and I teasing each other all in good fun.

Anyway, I know I never post, but read along nearly everyday.

I really, really appreciate all the health talk, because I am in the beginning stages of making some big health changes for my family. It really has motivated me to change our eating habits and pay more attention to toxins. I am slowly making the switch to glass storage and have pitched many of our sippies. (btw, the insulated playtex sippies are BPA free...so they didn't all have to go...yay!!) I probably would have never made these changes without some of these health threads. It has been a huge eye opener for me! My hubby is on board too, which is surprising. 

I am also considering canceling our cable. (whole 'nother thread, I know).

Overall, I am excited that I am ready for these changes!! I don't want my kids to suffer from health problems because of my laziness and bad habits. (not intended to make anyone feel bad, just speaking of my own situation)

So, thank you and I hope these health threads continue on!

these are great changes. i'd love to hear more about what youre doing.
though i wont be starting any new health threads myself :)

I'm bowing out at this point. But don't be silly. Start tons of threads - your info is good and everyone is enjoying it. Don't let some stupid comment from me keep you from posting things that are benefiting others.

 

Kelly - I'm sorry you're feeling bad and feel like you can't post anymore threads about health but I'm honestly not sure why you feel that way. In no way were the comments that were referenced even specifically about you. We are doing Biggest Loser too and there have been several posts about soda, health, fast food, etc. and I really think it was a comment about all of that in general. So, even if she had messaged her about it I don't see the problem and fully assumed it would have been something like - man I'm glad I'm not the only one, that makes me feel better.

I'm sorry any of this would make you feel bad in the slightest but I'm also totally confused why you would assume it was about *you* and also why it would make you stop posting and sharing information. Many people have expressed a similar desire and have shared information as well. Nobody even pointed out it was your specific thread (and I don't believe it was - I believe it was a combination of many threads) - and even then I think it's all in good fun.

(And I don't know how the tone of this will come across but I don't mean it in a rude or angry way.)

Kelly. Do not be silly. Do not stop being who you are or doing what you feel passionate about. I have made just as many posts. People who do not want to or who do not like it can opt to not join in. I find it refreshing to actually have some meaningful and helpfully info that will make me a better person.

As you see from posts that many people like them and you are helping people.

i just said i wasnt starting NEW threads myself ;)

why open myself up to it.
but if stuff comes up elsewhere, adn i have learned something about that, i'm happy to get involved in health convos.

i agree that many have been receptive to the health info, and i think that's great.

you guys it's really no big. i just wanted to make that clarification this morning. i'm cool with a few jabs about my health kick.

however, i'm not cool with being talked about behind my back in a place that i am not a part of.  but even that, there's not a ton i can do, and i believe leah that i have not been singled out.
