Wow- it never ceases to amaze me how mean and gullible the human being can be. Over the last day or so there was quite the discussion on a thread that was posted about hcg. All she did was post that she saw an interview and that a doctor said that the diet was a scam. Simple right? Not so. The hcger's tried to hijack the thread, and one in particular got into name calling without actually calling a name (it really doesn't matter, it was rude regardless). Whenever she got called on it she just reverted back to sub-teenage methods of handling the situation. RIDICULOUS!! Everyone has their own opinions of which methods of weight loss are good or bad, right or wrong, work or don't work. I personally cannot fathom how you could think that injecting yourself with anything in combination with eating less than 1000 calories a day could possibly be good for you. Nevermind thinking about the fact that even without the injections you couldn't help but lose weight initially due to the lack of calories being taken in. The pro-hcg people defend by saying that they are taking protein supplements, blah blah blah- I call BS! I don't care how many supplements you are taking if you don't have calories for your body to get energy from it will start taking it from what is there, i.e muscle first, then fat.
In the first place if we are trying to find a weight loss method and are struggling with our weight we have obviously developed a habit that is not so good for us. Whether it is over-eating, eating an unhealthy diet (diet being usual intake of food), no exercise or a combination of any or all of these, we must look at our habits first. Yes, it may be very enticing to opt for the "quick" way especially if you only have 20 or 30 lbs to lose, but consider what damage you can do to yourself by taking these routes. Don't always believe the "hype" of the places that are recommending whatever "quick & easy" solution they are marketing a product and will tell you what you want to hear. They will not bring to light the ill affects of their product, not unlike the stereotypical used car salesman. Bottom line .... They want your money. I personally have chosen to take the hard way- after extensive research it seemd to me to be the choice with the least amount of risks and the greatest amount of return. I am sorry for those who choose to damage their bodies further by using these "fad" and often dangerous methods to lose weight only to have it be a temporary thing because they did not realize that being at a healthy weight requires a life long committment.

Thank you so much for your comment on my journal :] and as far as that thread, Im pretty glad that its starting to die out LOL It has taken everything in my body just to stop wasting my time on it. I am not one to back down from ANY argument. LOL But this is how I look at it.
Odviously this person that was saying all of these things, isnt on here for any kind of real reason. I have found (thru yeeeears of my own addictions like food and cigarettes and many other peoples addictions) you often defend your drug of choice. This person is odviously addicted to the idea of useing a fad diet to loose all this amazing weight and everthing in her life will be just peachy after that. Wrong. and even more wrong because she will probably gain it all back. And I also had to remind myself, that anyone that isnt willing to see ALL THE HELP AND SUPPORT that is offered out on this site, well maybe they dont deserve it. In my opinion. To try and derail someone is takes it to a whole nother level. But one thing we can say is there is a Silver lining to every gray cloud. :] It REALLY almost got me... But it truely did make me see that Im not that same person anymore. This kinda chldish shit, isnt going to change me anymore. :] and there is my silver lining. I MORE THAN Apperciate all of you sticking up for me, it truely means alot. But I also want this frustration and this anger to go away now, so we can all focus on getting back to the healthy and HAPPY people we are striving to be OK?? :] :] You are awsome Debinator! Keep up all your great work, and lets keep our eyes on the prize! LOL :] Thank you so much! *Hugs!*

Shae- You truly make me smile every time i read one of your posts, journal entries or responses to my journal entries. I appreciate your taking the time to read my journals and comment. I too am glad that things are dying down on the nameless thread. I just got so very mad that I had to say something. I just can't stand by and let something that is so very wrong go on unchecked. (must be all that karate training) I tried to do it in the most civilized manner that I could. I am so glad and proud of you for the distance you have come. You are doing a great job keep it up!
