Dirty Eating!

So one of the fads in America, amongst all the other diet sensations, has been "clean eating!" Now before anyone gets defensive I'm not against people who choose to live a miserable life eating sweet potatoes and bland chicken, but I wouldn't do that to myself. I understand it is a quick way to loose weight and build muscle when you pair it with a good work out plan, but I don't care to eat that way. As I mentioned before I don't judge people who eat this way or choose a healthier life style. What I do judge is the "clean eaters" who talk down to others that do not eat clean, or who expect results from other diets and workouts. 

Quick change in thought process. When I was a senior in high school I had a friend who was overweight. We never made fun of her, nor did we judge her for who she was. It's been roughly three years since high school, and since then this friend Lacy* has changed her ways and now does bikini competitions. Do NOT get me wrong, her progress was amazing, and she does look good! (She went from 250 to 120) My issue is how she talks down to others who attempt to loose weight with other tactics. She makes Instagram videos judging people who do not understand her diet and makes fun of others for thinking they will get results from any other weight loss method. She and her Boyfriend have also moved to YouTube making videos attempting to be helpful to those who want to take this journey, but she continues to talk down to viewers and make it seem as though her way is the only way! (ANNOYING)

So my beef is that people like Lacy, who shouldn't be taking their time being rude to others for how they choose to change their lives. It's one thing to give directions to people who are working on themselves, or being supportive. What is messed up is how she makes Instagram videos being super condescending to others who don't live her life. If someone doesn't want to work out with a protein shake, or eat Oreos instead of asparagus, so be it. I don't like people who think they are better than everyone else. 

On a brighter note I would like to take this time to mention someone who does the exact opposite of what I just described. One of my friends from work, Kelli,as been super inspirational as well a real person when it comes to dieting. She uses weight watchers for her weight loss goals, and she has made great progress! What I really love about her, and why I bring her up, is the fact she has started a Support group for her and other Online Weight Watcher members as a support system. She uses an Instagram account to show her meals, progress, and share tips with others! Kelli is the positive side to those who are trying to loose weight, she doesn't act condescending or say she's better for what she has accomplished. 

All in all, it is possible to be a positive person and help others without being a bitch. 

Moral of the post is that I don't like people who 

A. Talk down to others 

B. Think they are better than everyone

C. Put down other peoples goals 

Follow my love, Kelli on Instagram!
