After these emails I asked Gina if we could talk on Pm and we did. I want to share part of the PM so maybe we can try to understand where Gina is comming from…..Please remeber this ia a very raw conversation .
There are a few breaks in the PM that are taken off . These were about her goals for weight loss and some very personal issues I as a mom will not post online in my blog. But the bases of the PM are here and you can see what was said., If you have any questions feel free to email me.
I chnaged her screen name to XXX because it is her last name…

XXXXXXXXX (2:01:47 PM): but then 2 big got my IP and that scared me

Subject: I am Gina
Amy, I am going to tell you what I was thinking when I decided to become Dana. I am not looking at any timelines, so I don’t know the dates. It was January when I decided to go to some blogs because I had been reading the FWK threads for a long time, and I thought there was mean spirited stuff going on. My mom does Kimkins, and she followed it sort of on LCF before joining the site. I support my mom,( Deb294evr) in her weight loss efforts. My mom loves Kimkins and likes Kimmer too. I hear one side of the story, where she is very nice, then I go to the threads and she is being called the devil. I don’t understand. I am 20 years old, my name is Gina and I am a college student. I work at my college in work study at the same place my mother works. We talk about the site, but I am not a member, I only want to support my mom. So I go to the blogs and leave some bad ass messages as “Dana”. I felt great getting my message out, which really isn’t my message, but what I hear from home. I also read some of the old ask Kimmer stuff and see that it didn’t seem so bad. Then I ran into 2Big. she looks up my IP and tells me I am working for some professor that I do not know. I figure she might contact my job and get me into trouble, so I tell my Mom about it. She tells me to get off the blogs and stop what I was doing. I did stop that for a long time. I then saw AmyB being talked about very hurtfully on the FWK threads that had to do with Kimmer doing things to her, and she showed some things on her blog that got my sympathy. I decided to get my new screen name GinaStevens44 when I had decided Kimkins was maybe not so good. I posted in the FWK thread a few times about being in WW, and about some things about Kimmer, trying to blend in. I really wanted to contact AmyB and I did. I wrote her an email,and I think I commented in her blog, I don’t remember. I did not tell my mom because she was still very pro KK, and still is. I really did try WW but I was a failure, like in most diets I try. I am still very fat. I am not afraid to say I am fat, because I am. I have tried every diet, but on the internet you can be whatever you want to be. After my WW failure, I tried Kimkins and failed at that. I never joined the site, just went by what was in the LCF archives and what my mom was eating. That kind of put me back into the pro KK frame of mind. I read the FWK threads every day. I am fascinated with it. I just did not understand why everyone was being attacked on the newsletter. I saw Dee being attacked, and the other lady with thin hair. Then Derek came along. I said this already, but he is very cute. I honestly am not in any way connected to Derek, ( wish) lol. Right as his profile comes on the FWK thread, I feel all badass again and head to 2Big’s blog, but she had not written anything about him, so I looked for the latest comments and went in there. It got out of control. I was being what I wanted to be, a successful dieter who was losing weight and eating what I consider Kimkins. I wanted to stick up for Derek, but also for everyone who is on the site still. My mom knew nothing of this until Prudentia blogged about her and I being the same person. We are not. She did find out though, after I did. I had to tell her and she was angry. I got scared when so many people started attacking me and my mom. She did not do anything in there, she has not posted anywhere that I know of in a long time, but she was getting blamed for what I did. I am afraid for her myself, she does not eat very much. I think she is eating more healthy than some did, but I would starve on that. Anyway, I had to come clean when the entire family got on to me. I also got scared when Amy, who I think is a nice person, and trustworthy, started talking mean to me. That is frightening when a bunch of people gang up on you. Especially when I am young and I will admit stupid in this. I did not start out trying to hurt anyone, only to support my mom. That is really all. I got out of hand with my bad ass persona I had invented, and I am very very sorry I ever did that. I am sorry that any words I said hurt anyone, I never ever thought it would leave 2Big’s blog. Boy was I wrong. I will never post on any blogs again, and I am thinking of leaving LCF and never reading those threads again. That’s about it, I am confused and scared, and I hope everyone leaves me alone now. Thanks, Gina
In closing I want to say a few things. As a mom my heart felt a tug talking with Gina today on Aim. I am not sure if I understand her or what she has done. But I do know that the person I talked to seemed very scared . I hope that she sat down with her mom today and had a long honest talk.
Gina ..I meant what I said to you today about healthy weight loss. I will follow through with what I offered to you. I am all about a young girl losing weight the healthy way. If I can help you with that vs you ever thinking of doing Kimkins.con, I am more then willing to help.
I understand that your desire with trying to help Derek and yes he is handsome. But you work on getting yourself healthy and more confident and in wonderful shape and you will find your Derek. I promise.
Gina..I want to believe you are not Deb294er. I even felt myself starting to “get” your mom today after talking to you. If you are not Gina the 20 year old daughter. Then I tried my best and I feel good about reaching out to you. So in my heart I did the right thing.
One last thing. No matter how I feel about your mom and her relationship with Heidi Diaz. You put her in a bad place. I know things got out of hand but make this a lesson learned.
And Deb294er. I tried very hard to treat your daughter today the way I would want you to treat my daughter. I did not post any personal info that would hurt embarrassed her or give away your last name. I would appreciate if you would contact me and let me know that you know about this and that you indeed do have a daughter name Gina. I am sure you want to clear this up also.
