when a Facebook relationship status update not only informs you that you’re now suddenly single, but that you’ve also been replaced before you were even broken up with.
So this will be my first actual writing that I will do myself for anyone other than myself to read, so bear with me…
I finally feel as though I have something to say, which is new to me cause usually I don’t like projecting my views on others unless they ask me. But I saw something today I feel I must speak about…
I am a part of this online community, of fruit eaters. Now I have been noticing this trend on my community that I used to hold dear to me, a trend of not letting others speak their mind if it doesn’t go along exactly with what these ‘moderators’ think it should say. Now this community is one I used to visit everyday to see how people were doing and it honestly just helped me focus in on my goals and helped me stay on track to this 80-10-10 diet…
Recently though, there has been a sudden shift in my community. Now maybe this isn’t such a sudden change, but I have recently noticed & seen people that used to be in my community and I have looked up to being kicked out of this said community. I didn’t understand why, until I saw today what I thought was very wrong…
In a community where everyone should be trying to encourage and motivate each other, shouldn’t we be allowed to question some things to do with this lifestyle we are living (or trying to live)?? I saw someone I looked up to today, write a blog on this community about human genetics, a very simple idea, one that has been tested and is very much true, that DOESN’T EVEN GO AGAINST MY LIFESTYLE, and I saw some in this community not even ask to clarify what she meant by this or anything of that nature… The people that I used to trust with advice to my diet, I watched them just bash her and what she was saying, and not even in a nice way… Saying things like well “how often do you binge?”… And just because said individual doesn’t feel the need to eat 3000 calories a day?!
I mean I don’t eat 3000 calories a day… I just don’t feel the need to right now, and I do such workouts such as P90X…
So just in general, I know the people I would like to follow and choose to be my mentor and whom I look up to in my diet, and right now I am just questioning these people that call themselves nice and helpful, I mean I joined the community for help and encouragement and because I thought these people were nice to one another.
One of my main ideals in life and I truly try to stick to this, is that I believe what I believe, and anyone else can believe or live how they want to live (within reason of course) and I just do not see a reason to put someone else down for there beliefs or tell someone else how to live & what to believe in. I just don’t feel like it’s my place. This is the main reason why I stopped telling people about my diet unless they ask, because I found that those people that ask are the only ones that want to know for information or because they are interested in what I am doing, not just so they can judge me or tell me my way is the wrong way, which many people do by the way…
Anyways, I think that is all now, I still need time to ponder but maybe I have found a better person to model myself by reaching out… I know I’m not perfect in my diet or otherwise, but I don’t have to put someone else down for it or any other reason for that matter.
Only time will tell, much pondering needed on this subject…. :s …
