You are not a liar. You are not guilty.

I love you so much, Kate. You are just a drop of absolution in an ocean of shame, but oh, how much good it does me to come back here time and again and remember that I’m not guilty. I’m glad that you keep vehemently saying the same things in different ways, and in response to different kettles of bullshit, because it needs to be said. Bless you.

I know this thread is old but I just couldn't resist adding this new sample of lunacy that I found in one of the comments on this post: Where I am, the popular method is "Dr. Brenstein", which is just expensive starvation with vitamin shots. There's a complicated program, they won't even let you use hand cream because the fats will be absorbed through your skin and sabotage the program. You can get fat from HAND CREAM. The fact that anyone can actually seriously think that, let alone teach it to others, without having their head explode just blows my mind.

I completely agree with this! When I was a kid, I would eat properly, run around and play outside any chance I got, and I was still “fat.” To get myself to a “normal” weight to stop being teased, I tried following the “normal” diet&exercise routine. Didn’t work. I don’t know how I did it but I’m thinner now. Still sick of people saying diet and exercise always works, though. >:/
