Have you heard that the confessions link up is back with Melissa?! I know…I am just as excited as you about this revelation! For me, it never really left. I couldn’t let go. Now I don’t have to! So go link up with my girl Melissa and get to spilling all of the things!
–Today is day three of my 21 day detox food challenge. No sugar. No alcohol. No dairy. No white flour anything. My biggest revelation? I miss cheese. Bad. Shocker, huh? I don’t even know if I care to hold out for the 21 days with the dairy. I have a feeling I will be giving in on the cheese.
–You know what really irritates me lately? Facebook. Another shocker, right? It’s really annoying for a lot of reasons, but the biggest thing that pisses me off? The comments from idiots. Why in the hell are you being an asshole to someone on a community page for reasons that have nothing to do with the topic posted? Why are you turning everything into a race war on news sites? Why can’t you just keep your damn mouth shut if you having nothing nice to say?
–Along those lines, shaming (fat or skinny) is something I have zero tolerance for. Have you ever followed along with Mama Laughlin? To be honest with you, she is one of the reasons I started blogging. I found her on Pinterest one day and clicking on her link introduced me to the world of blogging. She has been through an incredible weight loss journey and did it over time the healthy way. She tried different things that worked for her, changed things up as time went on and she looks damn incredible these days! I follow her on Instagram and Facebook and she posted a transformation picture of her from a few years ago and now.
The first comment I saw was some girl blasting ML for posting such a picture. Trying to shame her for being proud of how far she has come and being happy with how she looks now versus where she was two years ago. Um….why did this person feel the need to do that? Why does anyone feel the need to fat shame or skinny shame someone?!?! Why cant people let others be happy with their progress? I was just enraged as I sat there looking at her comment thinking about how it would make me feel if someone tried to make me feel bad for all my hard work. This has became a rant….but seriously….WOMEN STOP BRINGING OTHER WOMEN DOWN TO MAKE YOURSELVES FEEL BETTER!!!!!
–I have decided that level 3 of the 30 Day Shred is the only tolerable level for me. I loathed the last 20 days of work outs until I got to level 3 this week. I need to figure out what my next move is going to be, I can’t go through another Jillian DVD for awhile!
Confessions in ecards
Here in Alabama it is supposed to be quite chilly today! It is supposed to drop down to near single digits tonight…so this is appropriate
Go link up with Melissa and spill your guts!

I don’t get the facebook comments either and why people feel the need to bring others down. You don’t agree with them, move along no comment needed. It is supposed to be -30 with windchill today and tomorrow so I can only imagine how my face is going to feel later. ;/
today is FREAKING COLD. as in just standing outside hurt my face. it’s going to be -30 today and likely colder with windchill. WHY DO I LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE AIR HURTS MY FACE?!
that said, i’im so glad HDC is back too. i did miss it and missed reading all the secrets!
it’s cold here in Atl this morning. my pup wouldn’t get out of the bed!
The shaming is really starting to get me to me. This might not be the best coping mechanism, but I’m not on facebook and I often don’t read the comments on youtube videos or on other sites for that main reason. I’ve just come to the conclusion that people are assholes and I don’t care to hear what they have to say. We’re all “too” something.
I don’t know how you are eating no cheese, I would not even be able to go a day! I eat cheese with everything!
I’ve quit Facebook a few times but I logged out before New Years and I’m trying not to log back in at all because seriously…who cares? So many stupid and unnecessary posts and comments.
The wind chill is supposed to get in the negatives today and tomorrow. I don’t even know if I’ve ever felt air that cold?
I think 30DS was the same for me…I remember liking level 1 okay, HATING level 2, and being so glad once I got to level 3.
I totally avoid facebook. I prefer to call it brag book. Couldn’t deal with it anymore. Some people post crazy stuff just for the attention. It’s like they want that drama. Save it for your mama.
It was 3 degree’s here this morning, winter has arrived.
Totally ditched Jay last night. I got home and decided I didn’t want to leave again so I made up an excuse about my car not starting and settled in with popcorn and a movie on my own. Whoops sorry boyfriend….
I don’t look at FB ever, it’s just not my jam. I realized that I had hid almost everyone from my newsfeed, so what was the point? Also, I almost like to look at the comments that people make on ML and other “bigger’ bloggers photos just to see the crazy. I know, it’s horrible. I just can’t help it. Where do people find the time to seek out pictures just to be negative?
“I wish I spoke idiot.” hahaha so good.
MFD started a cleanse today too. No sugar, processed or white foods, dairy, etc. I’m curious to see how he does.
Okay – I am so with you with the shaming thing – Food, Weightloss, Women, etc – – -Shaming and negativity – and just plain JERK I will no longer tolerate.
Good for you with a cleanse! I would miss cheese too. I tend to miss things more – – – when I’m not allowed to have them. HAHAHAHA.
I wish I spoke idiot – – man, there needs to be a translation service available!!!!
I LOAD UP MY ONLINE SHOPPING CART AND THEN DON’T BUY ANYTHING! HAHAHAHA!
We1r82&7;#e a group of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our community. Your web site offered us with valuable info to work on. You have done a formidable job and our whole community will be grateful to you.
I’ve never understood the negative comments either. I see it all the time on Instagram and I can’t help but wonder why someone took all of that time out of their day just to be an asshole. Could they not go on with life unless they were rude?
Ugh – you know my feelings on the Facebook already. I totally agree with you. But one thing I love, is that while stalking Mama Laughlins, I noticed all the bloggy comments were nice and supportive. Everyone should be a blogger!
Also, you know my feelings on you and no cheese.
I despise Facebook so much lately that if it weren’t for a few groups I belong to that I need to check in with, I’d deactivate it completely.
Also, the fat shaming AND the skinny shaming need to go. It enrages me that no matter what women do, someone else is there to make them feel like shit about it. It’s ridiculous.
UGH. Humans are on my nerves lately too- just shut up! they wouldn’t have the guts to say it to anyone’s face which is why they hide behind your social media page- BYE! GUH!
OMGeeee a new confessions link-up!!! SO excited! I didn’t do a post today but I definitely will next week!
I am feeling the EXACT same about FB lately! Just so much crap on there, I’m over it. I’ve been thinking about it for the past week, but today I decided to stay off of it for a while. I need a break.
I actually got rid of Facebook over a week ago because it was annoying me so much. I’m sure at some point I’ll reactivate but not any time soon!
I decided to give up cheese this month and basically it’s day 4 and I’m loosing it…why didn’t I think about pizza!!! Is it bad that I like when people cancel plans so that I can stay in and just be cozy?!
Seriously, every single time I have to go on facebook (one of my jobs uses a group there to communicate with everyone all at once) and catch myself mindlessly scrolling through my feed and just getting angrier and angrier I’m like, why am I even doing this? I *hate* facebook. I post almost nothing on it and I hate reading what other people post. Twitter and Instagram and blogs are plenty for me. Also, NO CHEESE? I don’t even understand how that would work. You poor thing. Good luck!
I have been ranting about facbook too. It makes my blood pressure raise.
I don’t understand the negative comments, either. It can be over anything, too. And on Instagram… why on popular feeds do people have to say “first” if they comment first? Who cares? It’s the one truly bad thing with technology and social media — anybody can be a critic and most people don’t seem to understand that words can hurt and don’t think about what they are saying.
ahhh no cheese!? i would die ha. and love the ecard about getting excited about when plans are canceled. so me!
I really should stop eating like crap, but diets just make me run in the opposite direction… probably because of that innate feeling that I get to do the opposite whenever someone tells me to do something. “Megan, shut up.” “No, you shut up.” “Megan, shut up.” “No, you shut up.” “Megan, shut up.” “No, you do realize I’m refusing on principle right?” “Megan, shut up.” “I’m just going to keep talking until you stop telling me what to do.” “Megan, shut up.” “And also, saying ‘shut up’ is rude.”
Haha I love thees quote, they are so good!

Good luck with your 21-day detox!
i have never gotten past level one of the 30 day shred, maybe i need to take a squiz at the other levels.
it just blows my mind how rude people are on the internet. honestly.
i say go back to cheese. thats not the end of the world – i try and limit my dairy, like maybe some cheese but no milk, or maybe some sour cream but no cheese. except when i have nachos, i need all the cheese and sour cream and then i might as well die of a dairy induced heart attack right then and there.
but dairy is bad for you! it’s just not horribly bad in small-ish doses, and its nowhere near as bad as sugar and chemicals.
Ugh I hate facebook. Seriously used to love it but now it is the bane of my existence. When I do a detox I miss cheese as well! Especially on my salads!
