I did it
I'm sorry that I am not all hand holding and cumbya and crap but I have recieved more thank yous for my responses than I have you big meanie replies so I will take that as a sign that I am doing something right.
As for me justifying bad habits well if the Swim, Bike, Run lifestyle is a bad habit well I can live with that. I would rather live my life enjoying what I do with people respocting me for it than living a life of denying myself things.
To those of you who stepped up and supported me and those who just read my stuff for a good laugh Thank you!

I, too, get far more "thanks for being honest and blunt" than "you are a mean *****" PMs... Although I do recognize that the bluntness that I inherited from my Marine father can end up being magnified online without facial expression or tone of voice, I never intend to be mean (although sarcasm IS usually intentional), but I am NOT going to pat people on the head and tell them that whatever they are doing or thinking is ok if it isn't and may jeopardize their success.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Paul,
My eyes crossed when that guy said he thought sugar was a complex carb and that vegetables were simple carbs. By the time they'd uncrossed, you had posted brilliantly, for which much thanks. I think we have two obligations to our support community: 1) If you are going to post, post the truth; and 2) If you disagree with someone, try to disagree without name calling and temper tantrums.
One of the two of you passed with flying colors. The other is gone.

I missed the name calling part I really wish someone would email me what was said. I seriously need something to laugh at today.
