I finally see the nastiness in people right here...I do not find this thread to be funny but instead find it degrading, rude and obnoxious. Now I know people are nasty no matter what shape and form they are in and here I thought wow this is a great place to get support and meet people that are like minded. I guess I am wrong...and I am glad I don't know anyone here in person and nor would I care to. I rather surround myself with people that are nice and kind. Just my 2 cents!

I don't recall anyone in the thread saying they don't like the OP anywhere and I've read every response. I believe in freedom of speech, but with that freedom comes consequences because everyone else has a right to exercise their freedom and disagree or agree with any statement.
That said, I would like to say that when I see threads like this, here is what I really see: "Hey fatty, why can't you just eat right and exercise?!?" Haven't we all been ridiculed enough in our lives? Why do we need to do it to each other? It's not funny to me at all, and this place is here for support, and these types of posts, this one and the hundreds before it are far from supportive in any nature. Whether some find it funny, refreshing (and if you've been here as long as I have you wouldn't find these refreshing anymore) or any other way it just isn't for the hundreds of others in the line of fire. For anyone who does find this sort of thread funny or otherwise, I invite you to take a look in the mirror and reflect on why you do.
One last thing, these threads are actually not allowed here whether it be in Rants and Raves or anywhere else...

I was totally going to post the same thing! Some people feed on drama. Posts like that are yet another reason why I haven't checked this site in months.

REALLY!!?? You need to take a chill pill, Madam Reverie. This place is for everyone to learn, vent, talk and enjoy the camaraderie of all of us in this unique situation. Everyone else here is seems so happy to help others as they were once helped themselves. If you don't fit this 'mold' anymore, well...goodbye...
