bamaview October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 What I read was she ate 1 bite of leftover in frig then went back for another bite and another bite and another, realizing I am going to keep taking bites til I eat it all or get rid of it. Why would anyone in the family want it after she had been taking bites out of it. I don't think Christine would be offended. Jenelle clearly stated she loved it so much, she was beginning to obsess about the leftovers in the frig. I have done this before. There is a place in my town that makes the most amazing pie. I buy 2 slices sometimes, 5 dollars a slice. It is so delicious, but very rich so I take a few bites here and there. I have thrown away my 2nd slice, unfinished, because I too would be obsessed about that delicious sweet treat in the frig that I didn't need to be eating late at night. Let's cut her some slack on this one. 3 Link to comment

What this says to me is that Christine made a yummy desert (I myself have never tasted a desert, so who am I to say they aren't yummy) KNOWING that by doing so, she was purposely sabotaging Janelle's fantastic weight loss routine...OR that Christine made a desert so irresistible that even Christine couldn't stand the fact that it was in her house so she brought them to Janelle. Either way, it reeks of Janelle passively-aggressively complimenting Christine's cooking skills while simultaneously accusing her of trying to derail both of their dieting attempts. In what universe does this make sense? The vibe I get from this is that Janelle and Christine are currently best buds but Janelle can't resist getting in a lil' dig. These women are just case studies in subterfuge and pretense. 10 Link to comment

Or toss it but keep it a secret! These are people who have had to depend on the tax payers to buy them food in the not so distant past so to have her do this just sits wrong with me. So at first, this irritated me big time. Throwing away a homemade food gift? Then i thought about it--why would Christine drop off a dessert knowing that Janelle is trying to avoid sweets? I wouldn't make a dessert for anyone I knew was trying to watch what they eat. And if I did, I wouldn't be mad if they wound up chucking it into the bin. Just don't make desserts. Problem solved.

I notice that in the past decade or so the diet wisdom has changed from low fat to low carb, and not much attention is paid to fats if they're "the good kind". Despite my DNA test that told me I'm not fat sensitive (only carb. sensitive), I've found limiting fats helps me lose weight too. Oil is very fattening. Even just a little "splash" can add lots of fat and calories from fat. Janelle should learn how to make her own fat free salad dressings. Here's one for Japanese carrott/ginger dressing I found on YouTube that I'm going to make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFtVAPHZV8c 1 Link to comment

xwordfanatik October 21, 2018 Share October 21, 2018 I think the move is to keep the show going, primarily. All their little sideline businesses can't be as profitable, can they? Even Meri's LLN, which I will bet she doesn't share with any of the family, excepting Mariah. Christine was the only wife that wasn't doing a sideline gig, so she was probably shamed into it by her 1/4 of a husband. Sandy, picturing dear Kody on a white stallion makes me laugh! But shouldn't the hat be 10 gallon? Or is that only for Texas? Would Kody's oversized egotistical head even fit into a hat? We shall see. 8 Link to comment

Celia Rubenstein October 21, 2018 Share October 21, 2018 1 hour ago, sharkerbaby said: yikes, that's harsh Why? It looked like a picture of a scale on the floor taken from above looking down. And let's face it - Janelle is morbidly obese. It's not a secret and there is no point in pretending she isn't. I'm not an expert on estimating people's weight but if she was in the vicinity of 400 pounds, I wouldn't be surprised. Plus the woman purports to be some kind of health/nutrition coach who is on this weight loss journey, so it's not like it's completely outside the realm of possibility that she would share a picture of her scale. I seriously thought for a minute that's what she was doing. Claiming that's "harsh" is to label reality as harsh, like Sandy W said. And it won't change the fact that Janelle is probably hundreds of pounds overweight. That's just reality. 1 hour ago, Sandy W said: Perhaps reality is harsh. I agree. Sugarcoating Janelle's weight issues won't change the reality of the situation. We can speak in euphemisms like calling her "curvy" or politely ignore her size altogether. But she is currently trying to make a living as a health coach/blogger so why the kid gloves for her? Acknowledging what she weighs isn't being done just to be cruel. Janelle herself has made it relevant by choosing to blog about her diet. 14 Link to comment
Sandy W October 21, 2018 Share October 21, 2018 Paedon has become a good looking young man, however, Janelle should instruct him to get his ass off the kitchen countertop. Not a good look if a potential buyer wanders into the open house. In fact, it gives an unprofessional impression to have someone hanging out with the realtor while they are "at work". She should advise him to visit with one of his LV friends while the open house is happening and they could meet up later for dinner. 8 Link to comment
xwordfanatik October 21, 2018 Share October 21, 2018 I like Paedon for having the balls to tell his parents he wasn't going to that pro-polygamy thingy a while back. I believe that he and Mykelti (who seems more like Mariah/Meri's kid) were the only C & K kids not there. But you are right, Sandy. It doesn't look professional for him to be hanging out at an open house. I'm guessing, from the last time we saw Janelle on SW, she's at least close to 300 lbs. Not fat shaming. I weighed close to 250 5 years ago, and lost close to 100 lbs., which I'm keeping off by moving more and eating differently (and less.) I'm not trying to sell myself as a health coach, however. Janelle, who are you fooling with this Strive business? Not those of us on this forum, AFAIK. 10 Link to comment

laurakaye October 23, 2018 Share October 23, 2018 So (for the 54,894th time) she's super busy and out of whack and has to "get her greens in." How this reads to me is that any day that throws her a curveball in terms of schedule, she uses as an excuse to hoover peanut-butter Fritos and Doritos with onion dip. If her life is as consistently "out of whack" as she leads us to believe, she - as a LIFE COACH - should probably have learned by now to carry baggies of pre-cut veggies, Triscuits, fruit, nuts, etc., to snack on in the event that she finds herself running around doing...whatever it is that keeps her so gosh-darn busy.
