I guess I’m a bitch
So, there was this post on ireallylikefood, about this person complaining about an article in a magazine, and healthy snacking. Read about it here.
So they said that they’ll eat a Snickers instead of something healthy instead of a healthy snack, because, apparently, they can’t handle eating a healthy snack. If they eat something healthy, they’ll eat the healthy food AND a Snickers, because of their craving.
There was more, but this was my comment:
You, are an idiot. Learn some self control. You seriously can’t control your cravings? I’ve cut pop out of my life, and I crave it every damn day. Do I have a pop when I crave or want one? NO!!! I don’t. No wonder people are fat. Just because you want something doesn’t mean you should have it. Snacking in between meals isn’t just to satisfy your hunger, it’s also to increase your metabolism so that your body spends your calories wiser, and it does absolutely no good if your snack is a Snickers bar. A Snickers bar has nearly 1/4 of the fat that you’re supposed to have in a WHOLE DAY.
I eat a low-fat yogurt, applesauce, a piece of string cheese, raspberries, cauliflower, or other healthy foods as my snack. Eating fruits or vegetables for snacks is a good way to get your fruit and vegetable servings for the day.
To me, it’s a good comment. I mean, really? You can’t control your own fucking mind and stomach? You can’t curb your cravings? Plus, they totally didn’t understand the purpose of eating small snacks in between meals. The writer was totally ignorant. The person thought it was just to “stave off overwhelming hunger.” I do NOT feel bad for calling the person an idiot. If you’re going to write about why you think healthy snacking is a bad idea, you’d better know what the fuck you’re talking about…. am I right??? If you don’t know, look it up or just don’t write about it.
So anyways, here are the replies I got from my comment:
wow…..bitch.
more like TOO crazy “2″ love. lol
what a bitch.… having a bad day are we?
BAHAHHAA.. I love the middle one the most. And no, I really wasn’t having a bad day, but I’m sick and tired of idiots. I wonder how many synonyms there are for that term….. here’s some: fool, ass, halfwit, dunce, dolt, ignoramus, moron, imbecile, ninny, dimwit… There’s a ton more in my MacBook Thesaurus; I don’t want to list them all.
So, am I a bitch, or just honest?
I guess since I lose about a pound a day, I suppose I’m doing it wrong by NOT eating a Snickers bar as a snack. Hmm, maybe I should try it. I’ll lose TWO pounds a day then!!!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

You’re not a bitch but I can see how the tone could be interpret as such. I think you might of went around it the wrong way. Things could be said in a much nicer, and less abrasive way. You’re not a bitch, it’s just that it seems that your tone reflects that though. I’d be careful.
You are not a bitch for having an opinion and you were right in what you said anyway. I’ve lost 34lbs in 6 months by cutting out high carbs, but there was a period in there where I was depressed and all I ate was a snickers bar actually. It’s one thing to eat meals and then snack on chocolate and another to just have that chocolate. It wasn’t wise but I had to eat something and that was my choice. Still, I lost weight and didn’t gain any back. Everyone’s metabolism is different too of course. Anyway, the point is those people were out of order for calling you what they did. Keep up the good work!
…now i’m craving unhealthy food. :/
…
fuck it. *goes gets unhealthy food*
i can’t curb myself and i’m proud of it. well, it doesn’t quite matter ’cause i don’t eat that much in general.
You’re not a bitch and you are totally right. Although, I see her point. Sometimes if people deprive themselves of their favorite things for too long it will lead to a breakdown or a binge. If I were ever craving a Snickers or knew someone that was and was on a diet I would give a little mini bite size Snickers bar that people give out on Halloween. At least that would satisfy the craving and NOT ruin your whole day, ya know? She probably just felt attacked.
You probably could’ve said it just a little more nicely, but you were still right.
lol @ the poker face emote.
Everyone on the internet with a strong opinion and a vagina is labeled a bitch… I wouldn’t take it personally.
And that is why I stay away from the ish sites. I don’t understand the crazy”2″love comment.
I’ll be a bitch and admit your comment was bitchy. You could have put it nicer. & i envy your ability to ignore your cravings. I havent been that motivated in over a year. I always cave. …if the person was weak-willed, as i am, i can see how your comment could be offensive. Not that it wasn’t correct. But you could be correct in a gentler way. Haha.
FINDING THE RIGHT
KOREAN GROCER
WITH HEADS OF LETTUCE THAT ARE FRESH
AND CRISP
AND COMING HOME SATURDAY AFTERNOON AFTER SKIPPING LUNCH
YEAH WELL I HAD SOME ORANGE JUICE WHEN I GOT TO WORK
AND THEN OF COURSE THAT CAN OF FOSTER’S, A GREEN CAN, ON THE TRAIN HOME FROM WORK BUT NO SOLID FOOD, NO BAGEL, NO FRITOS?
SO I DELIVERED PAPERS TO MY FATHER AND THEN I WENT TO THE KOREANS AND BOUGHT 2 HEADS OF LETTUCE AND I ATE ONE OF THEM. WASHED IT. ATE IT RAW.
THIS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM PAYING ATTENTION TO MY COLON ALREADY. THE LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLE IS SUPPOSED TO SWEEP SLUDGE OFF THE LITTLE HAIRS…
I think the whole fight with her started when you called her an idiot. That was probably a little much.
@mynameisblueskye - @quasarglow - @sassypenguin - @boricua_chic_2008 - @Hinase - The replies I mentioned weren’t from the writer, they were from other commenters. I never got in a “fight” with the writer of the post, lol.
Abounding of the above replica rolex watches houses accumulate a bound ascendancy over area their brands can be awash and Rolex are apparently the a lot of acute in this regard. Rolex is apparently the cast a lot of faked. Citizen is best accepted for its absurd innovation.
Dude, I think you should snack on rolex watches.
@airbornerose - Whoot!! Then, I can be a rich bitch too
@crazy2love - you’ll forever be tik-tokin’ with ke$ha.
These are the replica watches companies that offer perpetual calendars, tourbillons, and displays that show the phases of the moon. The cases will look more delicate; if the straps are metal they often have smaller links, the dial will have been carefully thought through.
Any nutritionist will telll you that most of the times you think you are hungry, you are actually thirsty. Your body doesn’t use different signals to alert you. “Thirsty” means plain water, not cola. Hunger and dehydration signals are the same. I work with a whole crowd of IDIOTS who think they are dieting when their wash down that at-desk snack of a big Snickers with a Diet Coke. My snacks are grapes, carrot strips and water. Doesn’t stop me from swinging through McDonalds on ocassion if I feel the urge.
@crazy2love - I know. But we’re talking about the state of your comment though. It could of been said nicer..
Eh, It’s a little… harsh, I guess. I, for one, do struggle with cravings for junk. I also struggle with self control. I’m on my weight loss journey and I do have weeks that I struggle. And I wouldn’t call myself an idiot or any of those other terms. That said, if that’s all you eat…. lol. I eat healthy food, too! I just believe that you CAN give in to your cravings, every now and then. I don’t think depriving yourself is all that good, either.
I do have to applaud you, though, on giving up soda! I no longer have it in the house, but I do have it occassionaly when we go out! It was one of my biggest vices!
I agree with your comment completely. People do need to learn self control.
I think you both had good points. Yes, giving in to cravings the way she described obviously isn’t the best thing to do, but the article she was talking about was kind of dumb. If you’re REALLY craving chocolate or something, you can find better ways to satisfy your craving than with a cracker and an egg.
No, I actually thought the same thing! I thought their post was incredibly ignorant. So, no, you’re not a bitch. You’re just being honest!
Not bitchy at all. Unhealthy food doesn’t make ppl fat, people make themselves fat. You are not wrong for being honest. The person in that article is undisciplined. Maybe now they won’t be.
I totally agree with you (though your comment was slightly antagonistic, but I probably would have been the same on an issue I feel strongly about). Cravings are alright to give in to every now and then — we can’t be expected to live without chocolate bars FOREVER — but is it really that hard to grab a granola bar or something?
Speaking of, that’s all I’ve been snacking on lately. I’m sort of addicted. I’ve found a snack that won’t make me feel too fat for eating a lot of lol. I’d try to grab apples or something from the dining hall but they won’t let us take fruit with us. It’s sort of depressing.
why go on a health article and tell people that you will just eat a snickers bar?
I remember when i was PsychoAnne and people would try insult me and call me oh you Fucking psycho. … like wow sunshine, did you think of that all on your little lonesome??? BAHAHAHHAA
i probably would have laughed at her but ignored her.
calling them an idiot was a little over the top, i can see where that would come off bitchy.
Eh, the people on here expect everyone to be nice and nurturing all the time. Yeah, there are times to be sympathetic and whatnot, and then there’s times that call for a little tough love (like your comment.)
If you can’t stand blunt people, get off the Internet, guys.
Pffft. Sounds like they needed to hear it. Maybe it’ll motivate them to STFU and actually DO something to help themselves. ha.
I’m totally guilty of the thing they posted. I’m trying to get a handle on it, but not everyone has extreme will power. Though I think it’s fabulous that you do have the will power to stick to your diet. :)
“you are an idiot” is never a non-bitch way to begin a comment it’s a bitch way, especailly when the topic is not linked to intelligence but rather to more complicated psychological phenom. Sorry but that’s just true, even if your friends won’t tell you that.
aside from that you sounded lectury and maternal, and if you’re cool with that, then :shrug:
I agree with @Hinase - . Your comment could have been said nicer. There is a lot of people who have problems with self-control and when they see a comment like that it rubs them the wrong way and yes they will see you as a “bitch” even though you’re more likely not. It is all in the tone and how you said it.
As I am a person who has a hard time with self-control that did rub me the wrong way, because I am TRYING to have self control. It just doesn’t always work and a person like you not knowing all of this and making an assumptious comment like that can be hurtful.
Not that the other person comment was any kinder. :/
