Regular readers… this post is not for you… calling all haterzzzzz!
I have 'the rage' as they say… so I'm just going to clear up a few things… rant a little if you will, so its off my chest for the weekend … so if you're going to continue reading please forgive my swearing and remember normal service resumes shortly…
I get emails through here all the time… I don't mind answering questions or helping out… it's difficult when you start a new plan and you're not sure about it… plus more often than not I learn something new too… and I don't want to lock everything down just because there's a few assholes out there… I try to keep this as honest and open so everyone gets support and motivation like I do… I don't think people realize how much bloggers get out of blogging! I get asked some ridiculous things too, which always make me giggle… and a lot of lazy types asking 'how many points are in…?' which I'll always oblige followed by a 'get your calculator out next time or Google my friend…'
But sadly I get the 'haterz' as the kids call em… not just here but through all social media… it goes with the territory of blogging I know … when you put yourself out there it's to be expected sadly … and being overweight the name calling and slagging is like water off a fat ducks back! Mostly I roll my eyes and hope that one day they get the money for plastic surgery they so desperately need and then I giggle to myself… life is too short really… my only warning to anyone reading this… check that you're an absolutely prefect human specimen before you slag my fat ass … I have fat… it doesn't define me… considering the questions I'm about to reply to… the Mastermind trophy is all mine! However I'm going to clear up a few questions for you stupid folk who insist that I'm not good enough to blog about anything let alone losing weight, that way you won't have to copy and paste them again…
Firstly…
How did you get SO fat?
Your directness pleases me, I feel I can reply with equal directness but I will use small words with less than two syllables if possible.. damn broken that already… but you probably don't realize it so it's all good… I got SO fat because I was and probably still am bulimic… I got help and stopped the purging and as a result have a full set of new crowns… a costly disease I tell ya… I also developed PCOS in my 20s and ballooned but aside from those I continued to abuse food because I thought it was all I had left after a very sad time in my life and used it as a friend/crutch (I know you're laughing but a crutch is different to a crotch… ahem… ) but I got a lot of help, I have some amazing friends and I've lost a lot of weight, simple really … now, more importantly, how did you get SO stupid?
Why don't you just exercise?
Now … WHY didn't I think of that!?!? Sigh… Not everyone is capable or even wants to run a marathon, swim across the channel or climb Everest! I was involved in a hit and run years ago on my bike (I used to cycle everywhere in the good old days!) and my busted knee is still in physio so sadly the pool is my exercise buddy! I exercise every day, unbelievable I know, for a fat cow like me … but here's something you might not know.. everyones' body is different… I KNOW! CRAZY!! So my PCOS and my dodgy knee make running difficult… and honestly Everest is just too far for a morning trek so I swim… lots … and I walk… lots… I'm actually very healthy for someone SO fat… But I'll make a note of it to tell my readers… they might not be as bright as you*…
*Regulars you have more intelligence in your earlobes than these morons!
Why aren't there any full pics of you? OR Why do you hide behind the little cartoon?
Probably for the same reason you hide behind your dodgy email addresses.. shame! You've got to be ashamed that you can't just comment on here or tweet me directly right? Scared the fatties might gang up on your skinny ass? I mean we'd only need to sit on you and its game over! I am ashamed of my body… I'll admit it… I disrespected it for so long and am now only coming to like it… just… and I have a wonderful group of friends who really don't care what I look like and they certainly don't realize how much they've helped me of the last few years ... I mean they wouldn't let me out in hot pants because they're REAL friends and you must know how embarrassing THAT is for a fatty … but in the last 4 - 5 years I've slowly come out of my shell… and there are pics of me online… maybe not full body pics but I can't find pics of you at all either so lets do a swapsies! The fact is it's my blog and I don't have to! There are people who read posts on here and follow my twitter account who have met me… I've had nights out and lunches with lots of em… Met a few at rugby games… I'm a real person, I'm not preaching from behind a computer or hiding… I certainly make mistakes and I put them out there but I'm human and normal and I'll show what I want when I want…
I have gone from someone who was stressed out going somewhere in case the whole room would turn around and not think I was good enough to be there… I pitied hairdressers who, god love them, had to put up with 'the big girl' in the seat for a couple of hours, I dressed myself head to toe in black so I would just disappear into the background and I hated it! I still struggle with meeting new people… I dread that they'll take one look at me and just tut and walk away… its called low self esteem… something you REALLY don't have a problem with… I created this blog because I was lonely and very unhappy… so you can feel sorry for me and slag me off but I never in a million years thought it would grow into something so amazing! So amazing in fact that someone like YOU is jealous of it… You can come out from behind your screen anytime you fucking knob and I'll show you anything you want! I certainly don't claim to have all the answers but hey… if your blog is the only way to lose weight and you're so perfect, link me up so I can learn from the best!
Why do you 'bother' doing challenges, don't you have any real friends?
I 'bother' because like minded people join in… people who have 5 lbs to lose.. people who have 5 stone to lose… when they weigh in every week it gives ME the kick in the pants to stay on track… its called M-O-T-I-V-A-T-I-O-N … look it up… in a DICTIONAR… oh never mind… keep refreshing the screen it'll keep my monthly numbers up!
Why don't you just go on a diet?
Again… genius idea… I don't know why I never thought of that before… I see a future in politics for you my special stalker! I'd explain it but I think if you google 'weight watchers' it'll show you I'm on a 'healthy eating plan' which is posh talk in your parts for diet!
Why do you have pics of cake and bad food on your instagram, SURELY you should be promoting healthy eating?
I don't promote ANYTHING… I follow the Weight Watchers plan… and I'm blogging MY journey… lots of my followers do Slimming world, some count calories, some do the 5/2 plan, some aren't on diets at all and honestly, I really don't care what plan they follow… Weight Watchers, counting points works for me… and when people who ask me how many 'syns' are in things I point them in the direction of the slimming world blogs! Which, by the way, I follow lots of different weight loss blogs for inspiration and motivation (sorry more big words.. eek!) … and I've always said.. if it works for you stick with it… HOWEVER, I don't work for Weight Watchers, kinda like you don't work for NASA … I like 'cakes' and 'bad food' like everyone else… I get chinese at the weekends and drink gin sometimes *brace yourself* with FULL FAT TONIC! I'm honest enough to put my paw up and say I HAD some cake and I pointed it and it was fab… I'll point it and share it with cake lovers so they can try it too… I'm not sitting here waiting for people like you to tell me what I should eat… I'm certainly not sitting in the corner being a martyr whispering 'I'm doing weight watchers you all have fun without me, I'll join in when I get to goal' .. if I get hit by a bus tomorrow I'm going out on a high! Life is to be lived… I'm a big girl as you have kindly pointed out… but I'm living MY life... you should probably start living yours and not worry about me so much… cause I'm heading for 7 stone weight loss… those teeth of yours won't whiten themselves ya know!
Why do you call yourself SKINNY DOLL when you're not skinny?
Sadly its another big word for you… Brace yourself… it's ASPIRATIONAL… *pauses* yep… I can wait… The day I started my blog it was the name that popped into my head … I'm never going to be a size 10… or skinny… I'd be happy just being healthy and happy in my own skin! But credit to you for working out that I'm not, in fact, SKINNY at all! You got the smarts kid! You'll go far…
I bet you blog so you can get loads of free stuff from Weight Watchers!
Well freebies would be nice but they don't happen! I take pictures of products in supermarkets and if I want to try stuff I buy it and try it… simples! But if you've got any free stuff going I'll take it!
I have 'the rage' as they say… so I'm just going to clear up a few things… rant a little if you will, so its off my chest for the weekend … so if you're going to continue reading please forgive my swearing and remember normal service resumes shortly…

ahhhh that feels better already!

*deep breathe* So… that should clear it all up for everyone … all other emails and messages will be ignored henceforth (I'm just teasing you with the double syllabled words now.. I'm SUCH a show off) … Fridays post is FULL of pics of me since you can't work instagram yet… those opposable thumbs eh!?
RANT OVER… and apologies to the regulars… these fucking eejits needed to be told!
Normal services resumes shortly!
