...says the guy that opened with "self delusion"
1 comments

again the smart arse comments... How about, instead of lashing out questioning/attacking what I said in a civil way? Is it so hard? Would you talk to someone this way in person and expect a good response? This isn't YouTube.

Anyway, I meant the alleged self-delusion of the author. Maybe I wasn't clear in how I put it, but I wasn't accusing anybody of it, I was saying that the implication is the author is self-deluded since she claims 800kcal/day + 1hr gym and yet didn't lose weight.

Sorry, it acted like a trigger phrase. I'll try to take it back a notch in future.
No problem, I know the feeling :) it can be hard to avoid responding emotionally if you see something that is aggravating even if it might be a misinterpretation (as I sincerely think it is here.)

I should not have made the 'smart arsed comments' comment which was rather ironic also, so sorry for that as I distracted from my point and deservedly got karma-hammered...
