This Makes Me Somewhat Uncomfortable

I just found this email in my inbox:

Hi, boomama.

eDiets (eDiets) is now following your updates on Twitter.

You may follow eDiets as well by clicking on the “follow” button.

Best,
Twitter

What? As if I don’t have enough pressure?

And now I have somebody called eDiets “following” me?

I feel that this is horribly unfair.

And also: I guess I’d better put down the cream cheese.

I think if you just leave a bag of baby carrots and a glass of water next to the computer where they can see it, they’ll never know any different.

Rock on with the cheese (cream, fried, or otherwise).

I think weight watchers is stalking me… I like the carrot idea- maybe if I leave them in the mail box the offers will stop coming via USPS!

And they know what you’re wearing, too!

(At least they didn’t mention any tools and the enlarging thereof. That’s my spam o’ the day lately.)

“Stalked By eDiets. Woman Fights Back with Bar of Cream Cheese.” More at 11.

Just make sure that the cream cheese isn’t any of that fat free crude. Ugola. Tried it once. Made the worse cheesecake I’ve ever tried. YUCK!

Oh, Boo. You’re all a-twitter for nothing. This is an E-diet, not a DIET diet. They’re only following you because your BLOG has gotten too big, not YOU.

(Emily’s carrots/water idea is a good plan to have in place though, just to be safe.)

and walk slowly away from the chocolate.

I would be totally disturbed about them finding out that you twitter.

Ugh. I’ve been getting tons of spam on my twitter. As if I don’t have enough spam in my life. Gosh forbid you tweet something about food or exercise or diet, and they stalk you like the grim reaper. Yikes.

I was just twittering. That made me think of a song.
I’m a twitter, she’s a twitter, wouldn’t you like to be a twitter too!
I actually joined twitter a couple of days ago because several friends were a twitter. Then I decided that I really don’t find what I do too interesting, I am sure my friends don’t need updates either. So my twitter is on the low down.

Scary diet police are after you. Run. Run away!

Linda Sue April 29, 2008 at 8:05 am

I knew there was another reason I don’t want to be a twitterererer – don’t need the food police knowing when I stop for a bit of sustenance! BTW cream cheese is health food – builds strong bones.

No no no, keep the cream cheese…shoot the twitter

Nancy April 29, 2008 at 8:41 am

Maybe it’s all the Diet coke. Too much of that makes me twitter. But I can’t stop, I just can’t stop!!!!!

Hahaha. This made me think of a memory about my youngest brother. He used to sneak up at night and eat cream cheese straight off the block. He was a real cream cheese junkie. Wonder if he still does this…I’ll have to ask. : )

That’s almost as scary as Big Mama’s next fashion friday.

Katy April 29, 2008 at 9:48 am

Don’t worry, cream cheese is in the protein group.

Kim April 29, 2008 at 10:00 am

LOL!!
That is too funny
You need to respond by saying “no need to follow me I happen to like bacon grease – thank you!’
That will make them leave you alone :)
Blessings,
Kim

No no, Sophie. You pick that cream cheese back up and eat it with pride. They’re just trying to see how real women eat!

(Pass the Cheez-its, would ya? I’ve got a hankering for something good!)

Thank the Lord they are not following me!

Sarah April 29, 2008 at 11:04 am

Just don’t twitter about what you happen to be eating at the moment. What E-diets doesn’t know can’t hurt them. :)

Jackie @ where the boys are April 29, 2008 at 11:40 am

Evidently “Big Brother” is watching.

Scary what people find on the internet. Hope they’re not watching too closely. That’s just creepy!
