Bright we aren't arguing semantics here. She wasn't just referring to herself in the pen. I quote, "Yes, I called people that need to lose 100 pounds a pig." It IS adult to refuse to condone or accept having someone "slaughter" another human being. This board is either about support or it isn't.

stevecooper, The norm in my world: I will address a few of the questions that you raised that I have a memory of. 1. Adults DID walk. Alot. So did kids. My transportation was my two feet. There wasn't a car in my life from the ages of 13-19 so walking it was. Grocery shopping and hauling was kid pow...

Silver, Of ourse anorexia existed. I did not mean to imply otherwise. I simply never knew anyone who had it. So by definition, it did not exist in "my" world. I was discussing the things that stood out in my memory. Of course Twiggy wasn't responsible for the frenzy to be stick thin. (Although in an...

I forgot to mention that we also has S days only we obviously didn't call them that as Reinhard wasn't even born yet. :lol: On the weekends we might have popcorn after dinner or jello with fruit or cocoa etc. We also seldom ate out. Probably a dozen times in 20 years. On reflection, it boiled down t...

and we drank our full fat milk, orange juice etc., at meal time, in a SIX ounce jelly jar. Yes, SIX OUNCES. You can begin to see the problem and how much bigger portions have gotten. Let's just say as portion sizes have increased, so have we. Speaking of which, NO ONE carried bottled water anywhere....

I have posted quite a bit today. It is my hope that the No S Diet is takn seriously. It is my hope that many people will be saved YEARS of being misled by all the "new diet" :( information that is coming out in book form, almost weekly. It is insideous how easy it is to get "addicted" to diets.

Someone here said "Don't stuff your face. Face your stuff". That is what I have been doing since seeing The No S Diet in WW. Thank you for letting me share my memories. 1. We had a real turkey ONCE a year(skin and all) and all the fixings on Thanksgiving. Turkey never tasted so good to the body and ...

Have you seen pictures of Twiggy when she was a Twig?
I was just ruminating how every friend I have(in my age group) who is fat/obese today, has a wedding picture of herself at a normal weight.

I am 58 years old. I considser myself in DIETER'S REHAB. Reinhard is right. I do not need statistical proof. I lived the no s diet 1950-1970. I weighed 115 pounds just doing "what comes naturally." We didn't own scales. We didn't weigh. The only time we weighed was as a requirement for physical fitn...

For the person who mentioned they had done WW for over a year and were getting tired of it, let me say this. In the mid-seventies if you wanted ketsup or bread crumbs, you had to make them from scratch, etc. Talk about tired. I am spending the weekend clearing out my collection of diet books and fre...
