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.

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.
