Today I watched Joy Behar's show which shares the same title as her name.  I was really ticked off with her rude and ridiculous comments.  Her segment had a panel of individuals talking about dieting methods.  First off, none of her panelist were Doctors.  She started by criticizing celebrities regarding their dieting choice.  She talked about Jessica Simpson, Beyonce, and several others.  Oh, and she mentioned Jennifer Hudson for choosing a popular weight loss endorser.  If I'm not mistaken, didn't Joy once endorse Weight Watchers? Or maybe it was Jenny Craig, either way, how can she judge?  

She started off by saying, "I want to talk about these alleged food allergies.  

Joy decided to make a statement that, "some people are tricking themselves to make themselves think they have food allergies to lose weight."  She went on to say that all of a sudden everyone has Celiac Disease, etc.  First off, you can't fake a food allergy.  When you go to the Doctor about food allergies they test you through blood or a skin test.    

Her comments were insulting, unmerited, and ridiculous.  She really shouldn't make comments like that without having research behind her comments.  

I have suffered from food allergies for years, and it has NOTHING to do with losing weight.  People with food allergies suffer on a daily basis.  She's really starting to rub me the wrong way with her comments.

I wonder how her co-host of The View Elizabeth Hasselbeck feels, since she's a longtime suffer of Celiac.  So, is Larry King still retiring?!?! I think there needs to be more shows like this on HLN and CNN.  No time for Joy Behar all day long! 

 Sometimes in life we come across people that make us believe we are incapable of a great dream or idea that we have for ourselves.  I refer to these certain individuals are "dream crushers."  These dream crushers will even steal your own idea.  This is unacceptable.  

For example: You tell a friend, "Hey, I really want to create a business."  You're beaming from ear to ear because you believe in your dream, and you can almost taste the completion of your prized task.  

In response the person says, "Really? (in a sarcastic tone) I guess.  We'll see."  These individuals are not your friends and they don't wish you well.  That response is placing doubt on you and discouraging you from achieving your goal.  Your friends are the people that you trust and confide in the most.  

Real friends will celebrate your ideas, accomplishments, and dreams.  Yes, no matter how crazy it may seem real friends will be supportive, as long as it doesn't harm anyone.  I recently heard from someone that friends aren't always meant to be in your life forever.  Sometimes, friends are only intended to be in your life for a season, and that's ok.  

If you have a dream or a goal, keep dreaming.  No one can celebrate your dream better than you can, so go for it.  If you have dream crushers in your life, it's time to say "bye, bye."

 Yes, you read it correctly, I'm breaking my veginity.  What's a veginity you ask? Well, it's me giving up being a vegetarian.  I'm not going to say that this is a permanent situation because I'll probably flop again next month, who know's.  
What I've learned
I've learned so much about myself during this four month process of eating NO meat.  I have learned that I don't have to eat meat everyday.  I have also learned so many wonderful ways of eating, cooking, and loving my body more.  Who knew that vegetables could be so wonderful! The reason that I am deciding to eat meat is simply because I miss it.  I could probably go longer without meat, but I miss a juicy turkey burger, no lie.  I still won't eat beef, though.  I haven't had it in seven years or so, and I never look back.  I figure that i'll continue the healthy lifestyle that I have learned while being a veg.  I will continue to juice every once in a while, I will continue to have meatless Mondays, and I will continue to eat more vegetables, and limit the amount of dairy I eat.  Also, I will continue to substitute things such as: mayo, milk, etc.  Tonight, I'm going to eat some yummy asparagus and possibly baked chicken (hormone free).
The benefits of being a Veg
I seriously have the clearest skin because of my improved diet.  I have the best bowl movements (yep, it's true), and I lost five pounds during my process.  I'm actually the size that I'm supposed to be 124 about 5'4, however, I'm not going to lie I enjoy being a little bit thicker.  So, that's my other reason for going back to meat.  I don't eat a lot of sweats, so I can't gain weight that way. lol.  

Are you a veg, or have you thought about it? I want to hear.

Should a person be flattered or offended if an ex boyfriend's new girlfriend strikingly resembles them? This is a question that I pose to people a lot, and I have received mixed reviews.  I pose this question to a group of people and I was surprised at the amount of people that said they would be offended.  So, I want to know your thoughts.  Should a girl be flattered or offended if the new girl looks, acts, or is a replica of them?

 Gets on bus.  Meets man.  He seemed rather intelligent.  Began to have a conversation.  Intriguing.  Bus began to get crowded.  Somehow, I got distracted.  "This is my stop," I said as if I was in a hurry.  He was asking me something.  Shoving, pushing... next thing I knew, I was off the bus.




He's not from here.  Taking classes.  Speaks Japanese.  A black man who speaks Japanese.  Well rounded.  Handsome.  Didn't get his name.  He told me the school he attends.  Should I go look for him.  Stalker-ish? I ain't trying to be no crazy chick.  Something about him.  Hum.... what should I do? All right, give me five seconds and I'll be over it!

 Decided to go to watch the Basketball Game at a Sports Bar today.  I've never watched a game at a Sports Bar, but figure that I'll try something new.  So who's everyone rooting for, Lakers or Celtics?  Personally, I have to stay true to my Cali roots.  All about those Laker's Baby! 
I also realize that there are a lot of men at the Sports Bar.  Hahaha! I'm sure that I'll return with a story because I always do.  

Update Later.
