I just dont have the energy to argue

Friend of mine, Margo, posted on FB about losing her glucometer at a hotel and now she doesnt have her three month history to show the diabetes dietician (who she is going to see this week for diabetic nutrition counseling) how bad her numbers have been. So I said what I said and you can see what someone else said in reply. I meant it as a joke, like, “Have you tried Hare Krishna?”

Sad…

That’s why I don’t talk about keto unless someone is interested enough to ask me.

Three rules of keto:

  1. You do not talk about it
  2. You DO NOT talk about it
  3. YOU DO NO TALK ABOUT IT!!!

Yeah it’s kind of like religion. You live your life and when other people see how awesome it is, they seek you out for information on how they can feel as awesome as you. Preaching often falls on deaf ears.

You’re nicer than me. I would have pointed out that what she said was just short of idiotic, and that she clearly had no f’ing clue what she was talking about or what diabetes was. That’s if I was trying to be low key about it :wink:

“Whatever” definitely could’ve been replaced with “educate yourself” and followed up with legit articles. @ladylyssa is pretty badass that way. I’m more meek and would have either black holed the comment or replied with “okay.”

Where’s that bottle of Bacardi 151 I need a drink for my hangover?

I knew you guys would make me feel better. <3

That’s very sad

It’s so hard to NOT share what’s working and life changing for you. I totally get that!

How very snide. I like it.

Well, my friend, the OP, commented that while she appreciated my caring about her this isnt a post about discussing health, it is just about me losing my glucometer. And by that time I already had lots of mad face responses and a couple more people chewing me out about keto so I deleted it. They can all rot in hell, where they will arrive at even sooner if they dont take care of themselves. With keto.

These kinds of interactions are among the many reasons I ended up dumping facebook. I learned things about my friends and family that I preferred not to know. That and the utterly dumb posts which began to take up my timeline. And nobody really talked in any meaningful way.

Wow. So, this woman, who has asked me in the past for diet advice and help losing weight has now asked me to stop commenting on her post. I then deleted all my comments and unfriended her.

There’s an old Zen saying, “When the student is ready, the master will come.”

That is sort of what I think about keto. I came to it via research and was open to trying it. No one tried to convert me to it. I’ve been rewarded, and I’m grateful for it.

I am willing to share my keto experience with people, if they ask, and if they are open. I sincerely want to help. But on the other hand, I don’t care what they do, or what they don’t do. I don’t have the time, energy or patience to persuade people to keto. If they are sick and tired of being sick and tired, they will try something new. Or not. It’s a full time job managing my own health and happiness.

Move on and spend your time with people who appreciate you.

Thanks Q! As I was unfriending her I realized that you guys are all I need right now. My family can message me if they need to talk.
