OSSG list sucks

[Guest guest]

After some differences in attitude and philosophy, I'm bailing out of

the OSSG list. I know you're asking: Martha, What did you say/do this

time!? Hahahaha...Well, some gal wrote that her labs were outta wack

and she wasn't losing weight and oh by the way, she wasn't eating

right either. She posted her labs in the email, with the normal

reference ranges, and her results were all normal! She got a handful

of emails telling her to take more iron, more calcium, etc. etc...so I

wrote saying that her labs were all within normal limits and that

maybe just MAYBE the real problem was that she wasn't eating right (as

she had mentioned). I explained the program that I was taught at KSSF

making sure to say that this was just what worked for me, and not nec.

for everyone. Someone wrote back that I hadn't included protein

shakes. So then I wrote back saying that I didn't drink them because I

was told not to unless I was sick or couldn't get enough protein and

that sometimes people can live without them...I also said I'd observed

that people on that list had a lot of high-calorie recipes for protein

shakes that sounded like milkshake fixes to me. WELL. You can't

imagine the hostile emails I got! Meanwhile the list conversation was

about (a) cute kitties, ( how much extra food people were eating

giggle giggle, © being alone, and (d) recipes for sugar-free pumpkin

pie, fudge, and other crap. Apparently they don't need a know-it-all

RN with attitude. So, to quote Pam Marsh, F--k 'em! Hahaha
