I'm sure this is all no fun for her, but I'm with y'all that her attitude is lame. Can't she hear the cliche's she's spouting? Why me? I did EVERYTHING right, this shouldn't happen! Um, no, people that are as fit as they come get breast cancer, have anomaly heart attacks. Tina you are no special snowflake. It's fine to have those feelings, but who posts them on the internet? So ridiculous.
Tina posts them, she wants LOTS of sympathy. I can't even imagine what the comments say.
I have a really shitty chronic disease & there are time I do ask myself "why the fucking fuck did it happen to me?" The thing is, it did happen & you have to deal with it. There is often to real explanation as to why.
I think the "but I am HEALTHY" irks me. Just because you can eat your oatmeal & run 8 miles, doesn't make you healthy, Tina. I think this is so applicable to many "HLB's". Your health goes much deeper than how you appear on the outside.
Not sure why you would go run 8 miles w/ friends, if you are on the verge of shitting yourself. That seems like a really stupid decision. Tina needs to face reality.

I thought she said a while back it WASN'T colitis? And I remember her being pretty fucking nasty to people in the comments section when they asked her about colitis, snapping back that it wasn't. I just can't with this bitch.. I can't even hate read her anymore, she makes me so mad. Get your fucking sympathy plea straight Tina (HI! We know you're reading!) Please don't play the colitis card when it's convenient.

Ditto. I was actually thinking that she was looking at those burpee pics and thinking "Damn, I'm getting stocky!" and wanted a reason to restrict.

If you can't eat Fibrous veggies, Paleo is NOT going to work for her.

I feel bad for her. Hope she can find a way to work her eating and whatnot into her body's needs and aversions. I know how she feels as I've dealt with something like this, and it's SHITTY.
It might help if she'd stop drinking beer and wine everyday and iced coffee. Oh and fibrous vegetables. She's obviously not listening to what her doctor told her to do.
Seriously, if you have colitis, STOP DRINKING BEER AND COFFEE. i mean, how stupid can you be?

Tina is a liar and a cheat. I don't believe she ever had or has colitis. Just another excuse to restrict and lose weight. Watch, she going to be eating pizza and beer again in no time.

I don't think she's lying about her health problems, but is it incredibly annoying that she went on and on about having colitis and how when she was feeling better she was so grateful that she was able to run the marathon and then totally switches and says flat out she didn't have colitis….but now she does again. WTF.

I believe her colitis is real. And she admitted she was in denial about her condition. it's sad and frustrating to watch someone be so negligent towards their own body, and hopefully this flare up will be a wake up call for her.

Wow i counted 7 links in her one Colitis post! Why do you need to add links for "Busting out Burpees" and " A run with bunch of friends"??? You could at least make it a little less OBVIOUS!
" I really didn’t think it would come back. Now, colitis is something I probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. I know there’s worse things that can happen, but I’m pissed. I thought I was doing everything right with regard to my health, and now this bullshit happens. Why me? I’m healthy! I’m sorry to be such a downer. I’m just trying to wrap my brain around it. "
I do feel bad for, i have had some health problems myself. But you have an High School & College education and you couldn't do a little research on your condition?
You couldn't look up if you would have any more flare ups?
Your healthy but your diet consist of beer & ice cream? Ice cream as in DAIRY can really mess with your colitis you dumb ass.
Maybe i am in a bitchy mood but i really just want to e-slap this girl.

I can't get over how CHEESY her writing is!!!! It's HILARIOUS. It feels so…empty? fake?
Also maybe she should read her own blog and review the foods she eats. Not super healthy by any means. Does she think that she could binge eat and drink her way through college, then diet for 6 months and suddenly be healthy for life? Because she eats some vegetables that she is immune to any sort of problem? Does she think that "busting out burpees" gives her magical powers? I just don't see why she thinks she is so healthy? Does she think that people with chronic illnesses deserve to have them?
Tina is too entitled and special to change her diet for the sake of colities, if she even has it. She should not be drinking coffee and beer and eating broccoli, but big bad blogger Tina wants to do what she wants to do.
I wanted to say "her poor husband" for having to put up with that, but he is a grown man with his own choices…so…he must be as pathetic and whiny as she is.

I love that Tina does a top 12 post for this month when 1) the month isn't over 2) I don't think she really put a lot of thought into any of her posts this month (or this year) 3) This month has 29 days and linking to 12 of the posts is just lame. This girl just has no content and when she could have awesome content she totally flubs it.

.
to be honest, i don't mind that she links to other posts of her own within posts. i know folks in the forum generally hate that she links to so much of her own stuff for clicks.
but i used to read her blog regularly (signed off when she started CF), and i found it helpful when she linked back to old posts. otherwise, i wouldn't know what she was talking about. it's convenient for the readers and herself. i do the same on my blog whenever i mention something i already blogged about.
if it was just for clicks, that would be bad – but linking does serve an organizational purpose. what do y'all think?

I have to disagree. I've commented several times to Tina on how frustrating her links are. Many times she will link back to a post that then links you to another post or another web site. This makes me think she is in it for the clicks. Otherwise it wouldn't bother me. I legitimately wanted to follow a link for a recipe she made. Instead of taking me to the Real Simple site with the recipe, it took me to another one of her posts from that same day I think or the previous day?! Then I had to scroll down that post to finally get the link to the recipe. Ridiculous. It would've been faster to Google it.

I just read her post today…and I have to say, I feel like her bitching about colitis is a slap in the face to people like Ali on the Run. or hell, even people with other intestinal/colon issues like Janetha or Dori. Maybe I'm being a jackass and this is the beginning or her sickness/problems so she thought that flare up was a one time thing, and now she has come to terms with it/will talk about it. I don't know…it just seems a little weird to me. Also, she SHOWS what craptastic food she eats, not to mention all the coffee and beer. You would think if she was having a flare-up, her blog would have reflected that.

Not to mention that most of the posts she links to are very recent posts, i.e. posts her readers will be able to easily recall without the assistance of a link. If she linked back to her original posts about colitis, that's fine. But linking to a post about the burpees she did a few days ago? Annoying.

i get that, but i don't find it annoying. i find writing a post about burpees annoying in the first place, but can't fault her for linking back. it's sort of like citing your work? (which is a whoolleeee 'nother complaint, i know) i do agree with the comment that a link to a recipe should take you to the original recipe, not to another post with another link to the recipe.
the real issue is that her content is stagnant and therefore she can link to a dozen other posts she's already made about any topic. instead of developing new content, she just builds on the same boring stuff, which is why i stopped reading.

Hahahahahaha! And we have another post linking back to "the best of" for the month.
Will she ever write another post with any content? Will she ever stop with the link backs?
Hey Tina, it is clear you are grasping at straws for content. Do youself a favor and stop embarrassing yourself and go get a real job. You were slightly much more interesting when your life was more than iced coffee, your ugly mutt and Crossfit.

I think she is in denial that her 'ohsoperfect' food choices and 'exercise obsessed…err…dedicated' mentality are not healthy and are hurting her.

I just think as a healthy living blogger, the whole point is to be a role model for healthy living. Drinking coffee and beer while having colitis is the opposite of that.

I don't read Janeatha or Dori but I like Ali on the Run. I admire her "I've got this disease and it sucks but I can still have a fun life and run a lot" mentality. She's honest and really doesn't pull that "poor me, why me???" crap that Tina just did. Ali acknowledges when her food or exercise choices instigate a flareup and doesn't play dumb (or denial). In the same vein, did Tina participate in the fundraiser for Susan from the Great Balancing Act? I followed Susan through her treatments and struggles with leukemia and not once did she sounds as whiny and self-pitying as Tina did in ONE post.
I'm not comparing the two illnesses or saying one is worse/better than the other. There are women struggling alll over the world (and in Tina's limited world of blogs) who are also suffering and sick. I'm just think Tina is being PATHETIC in her instant complaining and really poor outlook.
Sorry for the repeat post above!

Agreed! Isn't it interesting that so many bloggers become SO successful at blogging that they quit their day jobs, but then they become boring and unrelatable?! I'm much more interested in reading about someone trying to be healthy while balancing work, family, commute, etc. When working out and eating kale chips is your full time job, it's just not interesting anymore!

The thing about full time bloggers is will FoodBuzz still pay them for stuff (or even still be around) when they're 40?! This isn't gonna be an internet moneymaker forever. Trends change, I think HLBs will go out of style some day. Or just stop blogging.
