Re: UO
I can feel it now... I'm saying it how I think you internally heard it, and yeap that works
Telling someone where to get off, does not mean slinging insults. That is all.. and yes, if we all parented the same the world would be a boring place.
Mermo, you don't have to be rude or "have a wrong" so to speak to not be a doormat. I'm not a doormat but I address issues that come up. For example the lady last week or whenever at work saying working moms are bad moms and DC raises them. I addressed it, told her my point of view and then after a day let it go.
Carrie isn't saying the feelings can't or aren't allowed to affect you. She's not saying they aren't given their due respect. Feelings are valid whatever it is. She's saying don't let them take you over and control you. Don't keep giving them power because you only hurt yourself. Process them. Do what you need to do with those feelings. Address them and then instead of letting them linger, let them go.

I'm staying away from the rest of the food talk.
And as for the parenting style, I'm glad we all parent differently, it would be pretty boring if we were all the same. Once your child comes home from school crying and heartbroken is when you will truly know how you will help said child cope with the situation. Sometimes views change one way or another once you are directly in that moment.
My UO is that I'm not big on cake (no, this is not weight related). I love to bake and decorate them for other people, so I told my mom to skip the cake for my birthday this year.....
Oh and @Stina2012 love the karate kid!!! Thanks for the flashbacks.

Also, she never said it was easy to let it go. Just that it's healthier. I'm sure we can all agree with that because who wants that toxin in our brains.

This was me reading this thread:
I think it's great that there are those that are into healthy living & eating well. The nutrition aspect is easier for me than the exercise portion due to my physical issues.
However, poo-pooing & nitpicking others' food choices (the muffin comment) is out of line. Let folks eat their bacon & muffins. If someone asks if their food is healthy or for an alternative that is healthier-- go for it.
The fact that we are going over this subject again makes me wonder if there are not some ED type manifestations going on for more than one poster. It's one thing if the focus is on health, but that is not what I see.
FTR, the threads don't bother me but when the contents leak into other topics on the board then you can bet it bothers some. Yeah, everyone can CTFD & deal with their shit. That doesn't mean that hurtful behavior should continue.
This post brought to by the prosciutto, purple olives, cheese & bacon salad I just consumed. It was delicious & probably could have been more healthy. Eh, I give minor fucks.
Weight focus drives me nuts because I don't like to focus on the number. You can be healthy, strong & fit without worrying about how much you've lost. IMHO it should be about feeling better, gaining muscle & ability. The # on the scale is really not my focus. I don't weigh myself.
Finally, I eat to be happy. Diets & restrictions do not make me happy. Food is fuel. I want my kids to see me eating happy & healthy. Not worrying over the scale, pinching my love handles in the mirror or negative playback about the food. Everything in moderation & some of the content of the thread in question concerns me for the people in the thread.
Y'all all could be great. I hope so. However, more than one person has expressed concern. Maybe take a moment to consider that? That's not haterade. That's real, yo.

That's why you're not responding! I was like wow she's either really busy or really doesn't want to text.

I also don't care about anyone else's pregnant life as @etoille said.
This is how I like to eat a whole pickle. With my metal baby spoon from when I was a baby. I don't like the outside of the pickle but I don't mind the inside. I wrap the pickle up in a paper towel and eat its contents
Thanks @asbromle l am now singing Peaches come from a can but saying beets instead.
Thanks for letting me be lame & talk about American idol
There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it. ~Irena Chalmers
