I have no interest whatsoever in mocking her weight. I am highly sympathetic to people who are trying to lose weight because I have been there (and am there again) myself. I don’t think this is about her weight, it’s about her attitude. I do agree that it would be unfortunate if people came away with the impression that all overweight people are that crazy. The way she rants and snarks is not doing anything for her cause.
She does get a few people in her corner, and that is enough to affirm to her that she’s right. She doesn’t need all that much affirmation. Even the occasional sop that a disagreeing poster throws to her is enough as an affirmation.
Conscientious posters will usually concede she’s not completely 100% wrong…if there is one sentence in a “fair and balanced” post that says “Well, Stoid, you are a total ignoramus, but you may not be wrong about point x” she’ll leap on that as telling her she’s right.
In one of her legal threads, she quoted a judge saying that “You’re really very good, but [your argument is obfuscated by your inability to grasp the point]”. What did she get from that? In her own usual typeface of the points she thinks she is so intelligent to grasp (and we’re too stupid to see) *Stoid you are really very good. *
So she only reads/understands the affirmations, and she’s got her own feedback loop about being right…and people will still try to pound into her that she’s actually wrong and will (in an effort to be fair) only stoke the flames of her righteousness higher.
Honestly, she’s not an intentional troll, but a functional troll. I’m not sure why anyone bothers talking to her anymore.
“Overcompensation” mean anything to all of you who feed on Stoid’s vast grounds for criticism? For shame! Stop nourishing the lady’s appetite for…for…well, anything!
I wonder what Stoid will do should the method in the book not work for her after all. Sue the author?
He could point to her post about how she rewards herself with a meal of cornbread to show that she wasn’t following his recommendations.
I accidentally a whole book!
Easy. Give legal advice on the way to go about it.
We’ll never find out, she’s got too much invested in the food in her kitchen to try it.
I bowed out of that trainwreck early on. I do hope she finds her way, but damn that sactimonious bullshit is full on.
Eat less. However you do it - low carbs? Great!
By her reckoning I have not lost nearly 100lbs in the last two years, because it’s unpossible.
Not enough eye rolling in the world.
At least in her legal threads I got to see how real lawyers think while she ignored their advice, so it was educational.
I have a feeling that she was actually dissuaded from her plan to save lots of money in penny auctions by this thread, even though she will never ever ever admit it ever.
She’s delusional. She claims that she never once said that calories don’t matter, yet when it’s been shown that she has, she cries and points to her OP.
Let her stuff her fat face for all I care. She won’t last six weeks on her new diet.
No, you apparently aren’t broken enough to need special weight loss methods.
I was aghast at the mention in the 3000 calorie thread that a professor of nutrition must have undiagnosed diabetes or something to be able to lose significant weight in two months on a junk food diet. Yeah, or maybe he’s in the best possible position to know damned well whether or not he has any metabolic disorders, and instead adhered closely to his diet that cut nearly 1/3 of his dietary calories, allowing him to lose all that weight quickly.
I thought that was weird too. Losing 27 pounds in 10 weeks (*not *2 months as she said) doesn’t seem all that crazy to me, especially since men often lose faster than women. Sure, it’s a bit fast, but I myself lost 25 pounds in 3 months a few years ago - and all I did was count calories and work out. Who knew I was doing it wrong?
I did eventually fall off the wagon (after about 2 years), but I don’t think that was calorie countings fault. It was a result of too much convenience eating rather than packing lunch and cooking dinner (once again, damn you grad school!). I have trouble believing low-carbers don’t also fall of the wagon for similar reasons. Regularly.
well, to be fair - since you didn’t actually do that (understandably!), its not really fair for you to say that. You don’t know, you’re assuming…
I don’t take exception to you not going through with the experiment - but I do object to you acting as though as though you did and somehow proved something…'cuz that didn’t happen.
Yeah, OK, I’m willing to amend that to “which, by the way, I probably would.” My point with that statement wasn’t really about whether I would or would not gain weight; my point was that whether I did or not, it wouldn’t make a difference to Stoid or anyone else who only believes what they want to believe.
I completely ignored that thread after reading the title, but just went in and read a couple pages. Holy shit.
Dieting is bullshit because Michael Phelps can eat a lot and not gain weight.
That thread is the sort of thing that the dude on the train with crazy eyes would say while everybody else moves to the end of the car and avoids eye contact.
Damn, I started reading this and realized halfway through page one that it was just going to be a bunch of overweight people attacking the OP.
:dubious: Yes, the enemy of the sanctimonious are certainly fatties.
You might want to re-read it then because you seem to have missed a whole fucking lot.
Excellent username/post.
lol
