Ok so you eat like a rabbit and still get BC,  Who do you blame then?

I am sick of people trying to say you wont get a disease if you had done........ whatever.  There is no truth in that.  Skinny people, fat people, smokers, non smokers - everyone gets it.... so why do I feel like the blame is being put on me?

Well we just returned home from Ruby Tuesdays.  I got a Bella Turkey Burger plus salad bar and I ate the whole thing.

Totally agree with everyone....the worst is breast cancer awareness month (does it have to be all month long???), where every magazine, every media outlet has some article saying do this, do that, and prevent breast cancer.  Yep, I exercised, am very thin, eat very healthy, no family history, the works....and I got it.  It truly does feel like the blame game....

Take care everyone...

This is actually a theory that is being tested by a few people who have volunteered to be human guinea pigs.  they have been going with 1/3 less calories than is believed to be required on the theory that it teaches your body to become more efficient and makes the cells work better.  Personally, the 30 or so people that are doing it are nuts in my book.  The one man I know looks like a victim of auschwitz but I will say he doesn't seem to get sick.  Who knows. it's way to early to go from monkeys and 30 is too small a sample to really be accurate.

I appreciate the post, but I hate these kind of "findings". They make me feel really guilty that I haven't lost the 30 lbs that I need to loose. Thanks to chemo,steroids and now being in menopause at 30. I have always ate well. Since I was 12 years old I have watched what I ate. One X against me, I was a smoker, but not heavy, more social. I was also active and drank in moderation. I have no family history and I got it.  Then I hear all this diet and exercise reduces recurrence blah blah blah. I'm sick of it..really sick of it.

Sorry for being snarky,maybe it has to due with the fact I stopped my Effexor cold turkey 3 days ago, but I have decided I am going to live. LIVE, that means enjoy myself. If I want to go out for a walk, its because I feel like walking NOT because some study has said I should go for walks 3x a week for "X" number of minutes to reduce MY risk of a recurrence. If I want a scoop of cheese cake gelato, so be it! Hey...maybe I'll get really dangerous nand put real sugar in my coffee instead of that augave(sp?) nectar.....*geesh*!!
