Losing Friends and Gaining Self

There is much going on in the Kimkins saga–both on the inside and the out.  All superfluous, really, to the member at Kimkins, who believes invariably that this is extraneous to the task at hand–losing weight.  So, I won’t address all that here–there are plenty of blogs you can visit and use to catch up. 

 No matter where you are in your journey in weight loss and membership–whether you are a staunch supporter or on the fence–I want you to reflect on why you joined.  What were the influences that led you to click “join” on the site?  Then I want you to visit two blogs:

Becky’s

Deni’s

And then reflect on what type of person would have a problem with these two wonderful women and why.  It’s not a big leap. 

I am not attacking anyone…

when I posted *insert reaction words here* (the first post).  I used the quote “rumors and more rumors” to refer to the thread.  I would so love to get back to our little thread, our circle of friends, and support each other until goal.  But if we can’t speak freely about what we are seeing on the site, about what we think about those rumors, true or not, then we are perpetuating a sham.  A SHAM.  Because we can’t be ourselves, we can’t be supportive, we can’t resolve the PINK ELEPHANT that is right there in the thread with us.  What I wrote, here, and in the LC scoop thread was my opinion as well….the “rumors and more rumors” thread is in no danger of being deleted.  Why should it be?  That’s great, but I disagree with you, but I didn’t (and don’t) have the luxury of posting MY opinion of the whole thing.  How fair is that?  I paid as much as you did for the site.  But b/c my views are different AND b/c I defended a 14 year old girl this evening (want to see the thread–it’s deleted but I have a copy), I get banned.  NOT the RUDE obnoxious people.  ME.  And another.  How’s that for negativity–I tried to stop it, and it’s see ya, KIM, thanks for your money, remember that lifetime thing?  Uh, didn’t really mean THAT….

 P.S.  You did read the NEXT post, right?  Comments on THAT one?

 ETA:  Wait, did I say anyone?  That excludes the site owner, whomever that really is…

I’m Banned?

I am banned my friends. No reason given. See what voicing your opinions gets you in Kimmerville? Don’t think I won’t be getting a refund. I will.
