Kimkins Controversy - Kimkins Scam

New Home for Banned Kimkins Shortgirls Support Group

This is an excerpt from banned Kimkins Shortgirl Melodiegale’s articulate parting post. Kimkins Shortgirls can find a new home here at her site. Her last post at Kimkins.com reads, in part:

Then the little red flags began to jump up in front of me. Blinding really, because I continued on without really seeing the big picture. Of course the Kimmer controversy took place, and you know the pro-Kimmer position I took on that. But thoughts began to take root in my mind and I began to look back at some of the posts I remember. One member posted she was eating 300-400 calories a day and no longer losing. Her pants were not getting any smaller and her body was getting flabbier. And then she disappeared. Since then we’ve had bleeding kidneys, constipation, and ailments that could very easily be related to gallbladder disease. While I do not know of this first hand, one woman claims to have been hospitalized for severe pelvic pain. And the cause, overuse of Epsom salts. Much to her credit, she fully accepts the blame for her illness. Just a lot of things have happened, but the most troubling for me is the starvation and the freaking out over gaining a ½ a pound of weight and the frustration over not making the “gold standard” of a pound a day, or 20 pounds month, month after month. Please don’t get me wrong, I am in no way denigrating your miraculous accomplishments here, and I applaud you, but at the same time I worry for you. Especially those of you who have been the most successful. For the majority of you, I pray that you “cheat” or “tweak” enough to keep yourselves safe.
