Dear whoever wrote me the following “notes.” I obviously know you will read this and I will address this only once and burn these in my fire pit.
I don’t know who you think you are that you can write so much hateful things to someone you don’t really even know. I’ve never passed myself off as a fashion blogger, I don’t mind buying my clothes at thrift stores and Goodwill, because that’s within my budget, and I’ve never said I was a professional chef or photographer.
You can say anything you want to me – I can take it. But to actually call out my daughter and son-in-law? That’s not fucking right. You don’t know them – how hard they work and love and support each other.
And for the record – everyone in the Weight Watcher Community is championing around me after I posted this on my Instagram live last night. To the tune of at least 500 new followers and as of this morning 374 people leaving me direct messages telling me to keep sharing my stories and food and ignore the idiots.
You are not my friend. Friends don’t say things like that to each other. Do you want to know what friends say to one another?
- “you are an incredible person and the comedy and writing is top notch”
- “I adore you . . . you are beautiful inside and out.”
- “We love the Biz show! Keep on keeping on Biz!”
- “you and your family are the real thing – friendly, funny – I love your recipes – keep up the great job!”
- “don’t let those nasty notes bother you – I love everything about you!”
- “don’t let the bitches get you down”
- “you are awesome and srew that person. You motivate many of us. Keep doing you!”
- “you are strong and awesome and I (or is it me?!) for one, LOVE watching your tories and feed. I love how real you are. I know this sad person is not going to phase you, your daughter, or your son-in-law, keep on keeping on!”
I could go on with another 300+ nice comments 😀
“Hope this helps.” Well, it doesn’t. I’ve explained over and over that if it weren’t being on Weight Watchers I could easily be up 20 pounds this year. The WW Community are some of the nicest, strong willed women I have ever come across – and those people are my friends – not you.
Want proof? My Instagram friend Maranda posted this last night and I saw it this morning. She goes on to say that “this community is full of love and support, however, there is a nasty side of social media that rears it’s ugly head from time to time. I watched something tonight that really bothers me (my live post on Instagram which will still be up for another 12 hours). One of my favorite accounts to follow @mybizzykitchen (who makes amazing meals, her IG photos are gorgeous & her sense of humor cracks me up) got hate mail.” She goes on to say” please don’t let the comments of a few pigs keep you form continuing to inspire tons of people with your low point ww meals on our blog. Just know I’m here supporting you!”
Dear Hater. Please just don’t follow me if my life upsets you that much. I seriously will not waste another post on this insanity.
I am not mad. I only feel sorry for you that you have nothing better going on in your life than to write me this shit.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to put on that bathing suit.
&media=https://mybizzykitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/img_8591.jpg){kind=link}
I’ve been following you for about 2 years now… and telling everyone I know to follow you. I love your recipes and any and everything you post! Today is the first time I’m seeing the Hater letter. I’m sorry that there are such people out there that do these kind of things. They should have had the balls (oops) their name and address….but I bet they didn’t! I just hope you put that bathing suit on and made a great pizza for your dinner that day!!
Hi Vivian! Yep, that happened a while ago, but the takeaway is that someone has to be hurting to hurt other people, and I just feel sorry for them. Thank you for your support!
This is the first time I’ve seen this haters shit!!!! WOW!! I wonder who raised these pieces of shit. Who says this to someone they don’t know. I am seriously worried about this country and generation.
So glad you had a good attitude about it and didn’t stop with the absolutely wonderful, healthy, and tasty recipies that I use almost every week in my journey (50# so far) and will continue to follow you.
Thank you so much Janet – I appreciate it!
I love your blog and the pizza recipe is a staple in our house, we also do pizza Friday nights . So sorry about the haters.
Oh I laughed out loud at this. I don’t comment much anymore but just had to tell you how hilarious this was. Kinda a funny but not funny thing actually. From one fat roll to another, I love, love, love that yo u put this on your blog. All this hater did was give you more money to make on the blog. lol.
Keep on keeping on Biz! Love your blog! This kind of hate is exactly what is wrong with the world we live in today and that makes me sad……Have an awesome weekend:)
I am a long time reader and so much enjoy your blog. I think you and your daughter are beautiful. I really like how personal you get in posts, it’s like a breath of fresh air. I am team Biz all the way!
Well I see ignorance is alive and well. Geez, how sad their lives must be to make the “effort” to be so mean. They are called trolls for a reason. Ignore them!
Hi. Biz:
So sorry we have such nasty people that are allowed to write whatever they want on social media. I personally get such a hoot out of your blog and will read it till you decide to quit writing it. I also get great ideas about meals. You and your family are so down to earth and “normal”, that is why I like the blog. This women is a mean bully and hopefully will see how wrong she was in writing such trash. Blog on Biz, and screw the haters of the world. I guess we will always have them, but we can ignore them.
I started WW last June and started following you around that time. I have found your blog/Instagram informative and helpful with my weight loss journey. You have helped more people than yu can imagine. You are doing good things and making the world a better place. Thanks for being you!!!!! We LOVE YOU!!!
YIKES! Those are the most disgusting hatefilled notes I’ve ever seen… I cannot understand the mind of someone who would think those thoughts, much less send them to you.
I LOVE that you are REAL and relatable! Most of us aren’t instagram models. We can’t afford expensive beautiful clothes. I hope the “Hater” never has to deal with diabetes or being overweight or struggle to lose weight while dealing with insulin and blood sugar levels. I love how your blog style is written as one would talk to a friend, with a few 4 letter words thrown in for good measure! I personally enjoy your recipes and how creative you get with leftovers.
I don’t understand why there are evil people in this world – rapists, murders, theives, bullies… But please know that there are a TON of loving supportive people who adore you and look forward to reading your blog!!!
Biz I can’t believe anyone could be so hateful to someone they don’t know. If you have received more than one of these notes can they be turned over to the postmaster or the police department.
As a long time reader and a rare commenter I say “Fuck ‘em!” I love your blog not only for your food but you keep it real! So thank you and i can’t wait to read your blog for years to come!
Wow that is so beyond mean, can’t imagine what a sad life that person leads! Love your blog, love your Instafeed! Love that you are so real and relatable and you have such good ideas for food! Nice to read something that isn’t all fake,fake,fake! I’m glad you’ve kept up your blog all these years, it’s a lot of work and I appreciate it! My husband is an insulin dependent diabetic and I get many ideas from you! Thank you!
I am stunned by this freaking letter. Stunned that this person took the time to send this and to be so rude. You are one of my favorite bloggers ever. Keep on being you!
I was so sad to read this post. How cruel. I know this had to hurt. I just wanted to tell you I like reading your blog & find it cheers me up & keeps me trying to get to my goal.
It looks like you have a ton of great responses from wonderful supportive people but I wanted to add that I follow your blog because you are a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL struggles and you’re doing what you can each and every day just like the rest of us REAL people. It’s refreshing. So keep on doing what you do. Thank you
OMG – I don’t even know what to say. As someone who has been reading your blog for years & NEVER commented before, this absolutely had me in tears. (Though I’ve shed other tears reading your blog before). I’m not quite sure what gives people the right to think they can even say these things to someone. Your blog is one of my absolute favorites and I look forward to reading it every day along with following you on instagram (never commented there before either).
Your style is amazing, your blog is amazing and YOU ARE AMAZING!!! – don’t ever, ever let these troll people get to you or stop you from doing what you do. Keep being you and being real which is more than can be said for people like this, who obviously have sad, pathetic lives.
Sending you a big hug from Boston, MA
WOW…..just freakin’ WOW!!!! Sending a hug, because I have no words.
Hello Beautiful!! I just needed to tell you how AMAZING you are & that you are my favorite blogger. Have a Wonderful Day! Love ya Biz!!!
It’s like that little boy in elementary school always being mean to the little girl with pigtails. He doesn’t hate her. He has a crush on her. In short, you got a handful of love letters. 🙂
Long time reader, I don’t post real often. Just wanted to say I admire what you do. Your strength after what you’ve been thru is inspiring. Just keep doing what you do and be proud. I’ve worked in busy law offices, how you work and work overtime and ride the train and then workout and still try to eat healthy is something to be very proud of. I don’t think I could do it. Love reading your adventures every morning.
Love you Biz. So sorry some sad person(s) is harassing you. I’ll never understand why they don’t read other blogs and leave the ones they don’t like alone. Makes no sense at all. 🙁
This is just so wrong on so many levels!
Beth, your email/blog is the first thing I read each day. It is refreshing and always makes me smile. (Not to mention that your recipes are SO good!) Please never doubt that what you are doing is important and that you are making a difference in many lives.
Obviously this person’s mother never taught her that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.
Wow, this just totally boggles my mind that someone would do this. Please just get rid of it and keep doing what you do. We all appreciate you!
And to the person who wrote the notes—just remember KARMA is a BITCH!
I never take grammar advice from someone who cannot spell the word “grammar” nor write in complete sentences …. I hope that made you giggle b/c I know deep inside these awful words have hurt your heart and your family’s. I’m so sorry that some pathetic (and possibly illiterate) person has nothing better to do than to hand out judgement on others. Very disturbing that they appear obsessed with the shape of your boobs–one CANNOT take this person even remotely seriously. Looking forward to your bathing suit photo prominently displayed tomorrow! WE LOVE YOU, BIZ!
Girl. You know how I feel about this. When I saw it on IG last night it took my breath away. I love you and I love your posts and I will continue to follow you and love on you till the end! #bloggersunite
P.S. – she/he should come see of my swimsuits.
Yeah Biz, please fix your “grammer.” Once you do that, you’ll be making a billion dollars. :eyeroll:
The fundamental driver of haters is, first and foremost, jealousy. Always remember that. It’s very likely that those people have perfect grammar, perfect teeth, perfect photo styling, and zero followers. Of COURSE they’re going to lash out at someone who is more successful but isn’t “following the rules.”
We have your back Biz….just remember ….Man (or woman) looks on the outward appearance. BUT GOD, looks on the heart. 1 Samual 16:7
I am truly speechless as I was taught if you don’t have something nice to say just keep quite. You are amazing in so many ways and I adore your blog and the honesty you present to us. Keep on doing what you are doing. On a super positive note look at all the new followers. Thank you everyone for showing your support to “Biz”, her family and her blog!
What the heck? I can’t believe there are people like this in the world! Honestly it reads like the person may have mental issues of some kind. I rarely comment but read every one of your blog posts. You and your family are absolutely wonderful! Keep your head up and keep doing you!
Biz – been following your blog for years – but I’m not a commenter – until now. I find your blog to be charming, endearing and REAL. Life is not all rainbows and unicorns – we all have struggles and disappointments. What I love about your blog is your unending ability to move forward with grace and kindness. I also love your recipes – minus some of the hot sauce! Keep doing what you are doing. Oh, if you are ever in GA, you and your bathing suit are welcome on my boat anytime!
Hi Biz, I am appauled someone can be so evil and vicious! I find your blog fun and family friendly. You are a beautiful woman. I am new to your blog (few months) and look forward to reading your blog, enjoy the recipes etc. Keep on being you! Friend gave me good advice about situations when you need to hold your tongue..LET IT GO!! (((((((((((((((((Biz))))))))))))))))))))))
Stupid Troll! I don’t understand people that go out of their way to be mean and complain about a blog that they read voluntarily. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. It’s not mandatory. You are a regular person with everyday problems and that’s what we love about you. Keep up the good work.
…and of course these ‘friends’ wrote anonymously, right? Real brave. You have a life full of IRL and online friends who love & admire you. Don’t let the haters get to ya & keep your blog posts coming:-)
Dear Biz,
You are someone who brings me great inspiration. Can we send the notes to the crime lab and get fingerprints? Because I am ready to do some serious defending of you!!! <3E
Love love love you!!! Now I love you more, thumbs up for the high road.
This is absolutely disgusting, and you are right, sad. Sad that someone has so little in their life that they feel the need to try to hurt someone they don’t even know. What a waste. You are a blessing, Biz. You are my favorite blog because you are real, and smart, and funny and kind. I am so sorry that you work hard to put yourself out there for so many of us who appreciate it and this disgusting person has to be so hatefilled. Sending you hugs- Keep rocking you!!!
Hi Biz – I am so sorry that you had to read that mean-spirited word-vomit. I agree with others that if someone doesn’t like your blog, they don’t have to read it. This person must have a very pathetic life and from the looks of the various pages, it looks like they have been gathering these insults for a while. I would also be carefeul as this person has your address.
Your blog is one of the first I read each day and I love your IG stories. Keep being you!!!
You are real and awesome, thanks for sharing and not internalizing this. I hope this post goes viral and you get the recognition you deserve.
Reading that hateful letter from the low-life troll made me feel literally sick at my stomach. They must really have a sad depressing life to spew such hate. Even though I don’t comment often you are the first blog I read everyday. You inspire me to live the best life everyday. You are real and that’s what I love about you and the k-adults! Y’all’s kindness & positive attitude despite what life throws at you is what makes me believe I can do it! We love you Biz, just dust that filthy dirt of a troll off you and keep on keeping on!
Girl, you got it going and all of us in the community you’ve created know it. Yes, that’s right the community you’ve have created with your honest – real life- unaltered – no pretense – what you see is what you get – that we all (okay expect for one or two haters) can relate to because it hits us so close to home. I look forward to your posts, yep all of them. It is like getting a call from a girlfriend albeit one I have not had the pleasure to meet in person. But I know if we ever did meet we would have a great time together, because unlike so many picture perfect bloggers out there, I feel I really know who you are and that makes you much more relatable . Keep being you and ignore those clearly uneducated naysayers with very bad grammar
This makes me cry. I want to think people are mostly good, but then I see something like this. I just don’t understand what makes people this way. I have taken so much pleasure through the years in your blog. I love the food you make. I love the photos you take. I love the way you share your life in such a real way. That sharing makes you vulnerable, I suppose, to this kind of ugliness. Reading these felt like a punch in the stomach to ME because I have developed such (online) affection for you, and your family, and your journey. Hate breeds hate, so keep up your positive attitude and live your awesome, real life. When they go low, we go high.
OMG!! I am speechless!! You know I’m a long time Biz fan but I don’t comment much – but this – WTF?? I really hope that poor hate mail idiot gets some serious mental help before it’s too late for them. Karma is only going to give them so much time to make those much needed repairs – just saying. You Rock Biz!!! ♥♥
I can’t believe this was all in one envelope!!!! At the end of ninth grade I received a lovely anonymous note from “a friend” pointing out all of these petty things about my appearance (I had a pretty good idea of who was behind it at the time) and it fucking devastated me, so good on you for being able to laugh it off and not dwell on it too much. It also makes me think that whoever sent you these “helpful hints” has the mentality of a fifteen year old, or at least the maturity of a mean one. For what it’s worth, for someone who is so hung up over grammar that wasn’t the most coherently-written thing I’ve ever seen.
Holy sh!$! And no balls to put a name on it or sign it?!?! Niiice. What an absolute loser hatin’ piece of crap!! I HATE haters! You keep doing what you do that makes you & others feel good Biz. You inspire way too many people (including me!) everyday to get decked by some negative faceless, anonymous, shameful coward! LOVE YOU! Hugs!
Hi Biz! Popping in to show some love! What a sad, soul-shriveled person to have written those letters to you. I’m sorry that happened to you. You are an awesome mom, friend, and blogger…sending lots of hugs your way today!
I love you, you’re awesome, and people suck. I have a lot more colorful words to say too, but I’m on my work network and don’t want to get flagged.
Let’s get together soon and eat ugly food together, and people can pick on your fatass friend 🙂
Wow! Unbelievable! You are very brave to post that and I want to thank you. I read your blog every day and I love it. I like your sense of humor and find you very inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Some trolls hate their own lives and take it out on others – you, Hannah & Jacob. I love your blog, have been reading it for years and will continue to read it!
Wow. Some people suck. And it’s “grammAR”, not “grammEr”, so, hey, obnoxious letter-writer, clean your own house before throwing stones at someone else’s.
Your blog is a breath of fresh air. Please don’t change a thing!
Hi Biz – I’ve been out of range since Thursday and missed this on IG so this is the first I’m reading/seeing it. I’m so sad and mad for you and your family – that someone would infect your life in this way. It’s really sad that for all the internet has done for the world, it has also exposed all of us to an ugly underside of humanity that we were maybe just a little protected from before. We’ve all known bullies, but they are so vile and emboldened in the anonymity of the internet and unsigned letters. I appreciate all of your writing and photos in all of their reality. I’m so glad I’ve met you and that you continue to share your wonderful world with all of us. I know it would be hard for me to forget something like this – I hope you can carry on and be your best self.
I sent you a FB message. Julie said ” Please be careful, they have your home address”. There are so many crazy lunatics out there. I’m so sorry for you and Hannah and Jacob. That note writer needs a life and a high school diploma( obviously).
Love you. Love your blog. Love your Instagram. Love your daughter. And sister and mama. Please don’t stop doing what you do. You’re real, & funny, & I look forward to your posts/stories.
I still can’t believe she sent this via regular mail. Is she 90? Still, a very mean thing to do and I’m sorry you were on the receiving end of this. Don’t let the bitches get you down.
Wow, some people have a lot of free time. I am so sorry that someone just want to hate on you. I still enjoy your posts. I was supposed to meet you when you visited Denver, but had to go be an adult and do a job interview instead. I sure hope you get to visit family in VA this summer because we are back in Richmond. Let the hater’s hate, we still love you! Thanks for keeping it REAL! Sending hugs and kisses…
i know I messaged you on insta last night and i’ll probably text you too because reading this made me SO mad again. people in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks – the writing in the notes was terrible and I find it hilarious that YOU should fix your “grammEr.” GTFO. someone went out of their way to mail this shit to you and it’s just absurd. it’s bullying. it’s uncalled for. AND NOT TO MENTION IT’S ALL UNTRUE. I hope you know what a bright light you’ve been to me and seeing you continue to try all the time is super empowering. you keep doing you, cause it’s working and fuck whatever anyone else thinks.
Gosh, what an awful person. I confess to falling behind on your posts, and even to skipping through the ones that don’t interest me. If I really didn’t like your blog I’d drop it entirely. But I do love it and I say “vive le difference”. Thank goodness we’re not all the same – what fun would that be??
So fucking sorry Beth. Seriously….that person is a sociopath. Did they have a stamp on the letter or was it someone local that like…put it in your mailbox. Either way, all Hell will reign down on them should we ever meet in real life. What a disgusting excuse for a human being. People like that spend time projecting their internal vile thoughts to others because they have no confidence in their own actions. It’s a shame, really. It has got to be completely exhausting to not only follow someone you can’t stand, but go to the length this woman did and write a redundant letter (likely while intoxicated in some fashion). The more popular you get, the more this shit will happen, but I totally know you have a thick skin, and I love your fucking face for it.
And yes, I agree with Lisa! I am worried about you all!!
OMG, my internet was slow because of the rain ( I live in the sticks) and your IG story got stuck on you with your mouth open, so I never got to see it! I can’t believe the HATE in this world! Didn’t their mother or teacher tell them that if you can’t say anything nice, not to say anything at all? Can’t we let stuff go? I love you Biz and I disagree with everything on those notes! Did they send it to your HOUSE????
This I can’t imagine. Truly a bully her whole life. How sad. That someone takes the time to write this? Fly the bitch to Iran. She’d make a perfect terrorist. They are always afraid to sign their name. And their faces are always hidden. Unlike yours which is a ray of sunshine. I can feel it glowing from here.
Biz! I CANNOT believe what I am reading on your blog today! I am a total stranger to you…a fan from Canada and I LOVE coming to your blog EVERYDAY! I felt everyone of those insults! Move on Biz, LIVE WELL!!! My love and support to you, Hanna, Jacob and if I may be so bold and say “our” Tony!
WTF. That is so bizarre. That person is clearly mentally ill. Who reaches out to anonymously send hateful stuff like that? Wow. I’d pass these on to law enforcement honestly.
HUGS.
My wife( sgt with LAPD) said the same thing.
Yes, because what if the person is so obsessed they show up at her house next.
I cried seeing this hate mail last night, and I am still in shock someone did this. 🙁
Wow! Just WOW!!! So beyond rude. I don’t understand how someone could be so incredibly and purposefully hurtful, hateful, and so full of shit that it just oozes out of them and onto paper. What an ugly soul they have ~~if they have one~~ to WANT to hurt someone so intensely. That is one disturbed person.
The gall, the absolute gall of this person to write this hateful note! Bullies don’t stop in high school. They make a life-long career of it, even into nursing homes. Believe that his/her meanness will come back to them, if it isn’t already eating away at their soul. This is YOUR blog, YOUR life and you have every right to live it as you please. Don’t take one horrendous person’s words to change anything about you. This is more about them as he/she is sick and needs to pull someone else down to their level. Don’t go there! Rise above it and pray, dance, sing, and live your life to the fullest! Hugs to you and know that you are loved JUST the way you are!!! <3
What a poor excuse for a “helpful human being”. Please blog on…’tis one of the only blogs I read every day…and I love you and your attitude. Shake it off!
They are jealous that you are happy and have a good life and family. Sorry there are such horrid people in the world. They didn’t even spell grammar correctly!!!
Keep being Biz and doing your thing!
I particularly liked the comment about “your grammer (sic) is off.” The person can’t even spell grammar correctly when trying to criticize you for grammar. LOL
Biz,
This person must be very insecure; I love how you stood up for yourself with dignity. Attacking your daughter and son in law is a horrible, low life, trashy thing to do. Karma will get them, this will come back and bite them in the ass.
Hugs to all of you! (I’m obsessed with Jacobs soup, I’m making it again today! ). ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you had to deal with such a mean hateful person. I love your blog and your humor and wish I could cook like you! Ignore the haters and know that you’re loved.
Seriously Biz. Fuck those annoying fuckers. They clearly have issues with their own self esteem.
Breasts are supposed to be round and flat? Mine didn’t get the memo, from age 14 . Genetics yo!
I can’t imagine how awful it may be to live in someone’s mind where they want to tear others down.
Here’s a tip to the haters: unfollow. Stop reading. Worry about your own damn self. Realize that this is Biz’s journey not yours. A single mother who raised a great kid, and was widowed way too soon. With a long ass commute and some kick ass cooking chops.
Hope this helps you haterz.😂
Signed, someone else who shops at thrift stores, wears her hair in a ponytail, and never got braces. Apparently that hasn’t prevented me from learning how to treat people with respect.
Wow, what a pathetic person that has nothing better to do than write such cruel things. Very immature and perhaps even a bit jealous of you and your success. Once when someone was saying mean things to me me…Brian told me….it’s not your problem, it’s their problem.
You are AMAZING! This person obviously is very miserable in their own life and needs to get help. How awful and disturbing!! Keep doing you and forget the haters. You inspire so many, keep it up!
Jesus effing Christ. Human garbage, top to bottom. Beth, you’re loved and totally respected by those who matter. I know you know that, but it doesn’t hurt to say it here. Your drive, your skills, your heart, your strength…none of these pathetic hater morons could ever come close to achieving what you have. Love you, your Mom, Jen and Charlie…four solid gold human beings from whom we all could learn a lot.
That is all terrible, it’s hard to believe there are such mean people out there. I love reading your blog, stories of family, cooking, work, trips, just everything. Please know you have so many friends and fans and that that terrible person has to live with their own miserable self. Hugs,
I am sickened, and saddened that some horrible pathetic troll who is probably jealous of you took the time to write the letter to you and mail it. I bet that person wouldn’t have the balls to say all that hurtful, hateful garbage to your face shame on them!!
I have been reading your blog for a lot of years I hope you don’t let this troll get to you sorry that you have to put up with people like that sending you mail. I look forward to reading your blog every day Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I’m truly sorry you received such vile garbage. I’ll never understand why someone could feel the need to spew such hatred. I really enjoy your blog. I personally can related to the struggles of trying to lose/maintain weight. It’s a journey a large portion of us are on. You are clearly a strong, kick-ass lady and no petty hater will bring you down. Rock on!
THE FACT THAT THIS EVEN EXISTS MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!!!
I don’t even want to say anything about this person because that’s exactly what they want, to hear something about them.
We’ve been blogger friends for a long time now, and I know none of this is true. There will always be that one person, but for that one idiot, there are 1,000,000 more of them who love you, for everything you are and everything you do. We want to help build you up, keep you strong, and make sure you remember everything that makes you, you.
<3 I'll probably be sending you an email too.
I’ve known you for 25 years now. You have always been hardworking, inspiring, and upbeat. There will always be horrible, negative people in the world, just as (I hope) there will always be angels – like you. Let this awful experience just help make you stronger. You and your daughter are beautiful, inside and out. Don’t let the haters get you down. Ever. You make a difference.
The only thing I disagree with in what you wrote is that all friends don’t always say nice things all the time. Sometimes they tell you the very hard truth, even if it hurts- in fact a good friend would lovingly do that. And they do it face to face or claim what they’re writing. Believe me, I’m talking from my own experience here. Was it pleasant? Nope. But I was secure in the fact that the person genuinely cared about me and only wanted the best for me so it gave me food for thought and action.
HOWEVER, this is an anonymous troll, not someone who really cares about you. Truly if they are that frustrated reading your blog or following your Instagram or whatever got them kicked up, they should just stop.
They also should probably stop throwing rocks at glass houses with that grammar and spelling. Good grief.
I’ve been reading your blog for years and love your posts and the honesty and reality in each one. Please don’t change! Haters will hate but these notes are ridiculous and so MEAN – how can anyone live with themselves after sending them? Love you, Biz – keep doing what you do. I look forward to hearing about your adventures every day!
And sorry I duplicated my post – I’m an amateur…

Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry you had to be on the receiving end of such horrible words. I’m shocked that someone would take that much time to harass you. Please don’t pay that person any mind. That’s ridiculous, they are full of vile and maliciousness. I’m so sorry. Keep on blogging and doing you. Hugs!
Oh my! This brought tears to my eyes. 🙁 I had to scroll through most of this hateful rant. I can’t imagine anyone writing such mean and hateful words to you and your family. I am a long time reader and have laughed , cried and shared in your journey. Please know that you are loved for your complete honesty and wonderful things you share with us. This person must be very unhappy to be in such harsh judgement of another human. I admire your strength and your ability to keep going. I struggle with WW too but keep going cause I know what would happen if I stopped. Thank you and please remember that person represents less than 1%. Beautiful Family, wonderful life. xoxo
I know, my eyes are tearing up too. How hateful. I’ve met Beth in real life a few times and she is an amazing, strong woman. You could not meet a more real person. I love that she is her own person and not a “follower”.
This infuriates me. I just cant believe there is someone out there with this much vitriol and hate in their heart. But what really hurts is the personal attacks on your beautiful Hannah. I know you and your family are strong and have an incredible sense of self and will rise above this BS. I just beg you and the your family to keep sharing because it has helped me through so much over the years. I read you almost daily, always look back if i miss a few posts:) I dont personally know you but do love your family and this attack feels personal to anyone who loves you and what you do for us in the WW community. WE LOVE YOU BIZ!!!!!
I’m completely stunned by this. I just don’t understand how anyone could do something like this. I guess they never learned that if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything. What a sad life this person must have. Having met you in person, I know that this blog represents the real, kind, hard working, honest and amazing person you truly are!!
You schooled those pathetic and disgusting trolls! Fuck them and their negativity. Seriously, they need to get a life. I adore everything about your blog. I’m thankful that you share parts of your life. Keep up the good work!!!
Wow – I can’t believe people take time out of their days to produce such filth. So much unnecessary hate in the world! Keep being you and doing what makes you happy. We only live once and I feel bad for whoever wrote those notes – they are obviously not happy with their own lives that they’re trying to bring you down. Stay awesome, Biz! Lots of love, and YOLO!!!
Hello – I have been reading your blog for years. I always look forward to your posts because you are so relentlessly positive. Please stay that way. I visited The Chopping Block to shop there, and when I told the employees I had read about it on your blog they were immediately gushing over how great you are for exactly the same reason – your positive and cheerful spirit – I think you must bring a light to everyone you share time with. Please dismiss the ugly and hurtful comments this person wrote – I feel sure this is someone who needs professional help. I just read an instagram post this morning that is so appropriate here – Kindness is free, sprinkle that stuff everywhere. You seem to do that in what you write. Please keep doing it! And – I believe thrift store purchases and real bodies, and real family and real food is refreshingly positive to read about!
I think you know I read every post. I just don’t often comment. However, I couldn’t let this pass. My only comment on all this is delete those comments. Don’t let them get to you. It’s one thing to disagree with something. It isn’t alright to malign the kids or yourself. And, to reach back to mention Tony? No! I will point out in the second note to you. The one commenting on your grammar–the writer misspelled grammar!!
Best,
Bonnie
I usually never comment on your posts but I was outraged by this. The need of some people to actually take the time to write such hate down is very sad and disturbing. If someone does not like something they should just read or watch something else. Keep on blogging and never let the haters win!!
This person clearly wants to get a rise out of you. What a low, sad person to think writing something like this is “helpful”. They must be jealous of you and your delicious looking food. And to talk about someone’s child? I feel bad for this person and their life.
Btw, I think you are amazing. Weight loss is hard! When you keep plugging away at it, that’s awesome! And your food always looks amazing to me! Love ya!
Someone actually mailed this to you? Their life must be so small and petty to take the time to write that, put a stamp on it and mail it. Good grief.
People like that are super pathetic. I know you already let it roll off your back – life is too short to give one moment to a crazy person who would go to those lengths.
Love you Biz!
You rock!
Oh wow! This is so sad that someone would write such hateful things to you. They clearly have problems in their life so don’t let these words bring you down. Love your blog, I read it every day! I am now off to find you on Instagram ❤️
…and you ended your blog brilliantly…by putting on your bathing suit! I am so sorry that someone is so hateful to write anything like that and then actually send it. I know we are related, but that wouldn’t change the way I feel about you and your blog. You are an inspiration without trying to be one. You are just being you and if you have photo or grammar issues…eh. What makes your blog so appealing is the honesty; not the “honesty” your pen pal thinks it’s sharing but the real day-to-day ups and downs we all share. I hope you did burn the note, that’s one of the best ways to get rid of negative energy. In addition, I want you to literally shake off the negative energy by doing something outside that makes you happy…like sitting in your backyard enjoying the nature in it. You are blessed to be a loving and kind person…imagine how hard life is for the troll who wrote that note…imagine what life must be like for that troll’s family! In addition, let’s take a moment to say a prayer that hat person’s heart can be opened and ways changed. Love you kiddo! Blog On!!!!!!
Wow- what a mean spirited BULLY….she must have a very sad , pathetic life.
Biz , you are wonderful and funny and I look forward to your blog ! Keep them coming sweet friend!
I literally feel sick to my stomach reading this. Biz, I’m so so sorry that those trolls literally have nothing better to do in their pathetic lives than write and mail that type of hate. Disgusting.
WOW, HOW SAD ! That person needs to get a life!!!!!!!
None of that is true. Who would waste their time doing this?? I read your blog daily because it’s not a bunch of photoshopped pictures- you and your family are normal, real people and that why I like reading. These notes were written by a lunatic who must hate themselves.
Gross gross gross. This is why I stopped YT, blogging, anything and everything to do with social media and putting myself and my family out there especially in the weight loss community. It’s disgusting and honestly I just don’t have the strength for ish like this. You’re an AMAZING woman, a beautiful soul, and an incredible CHEF! Keep doing you, and being you. The majority of us love you and will always! <3
