    @whitesale you've been here what 3 days move along off this thread you don't even understand why people are upset your so new.

    I'm sure she's been on before Dec...Just a new profile of one of the members who start this BS.

    No, she's new!! She is the bathroom floor crier!!

    Update on my post #30 -- for accuracy and fairness:

    The post by Alex in which he refers to PM's containing nauseating things was not deleted. It's post #10.

    That's what I said!!! lol

    This is supposed to be a support site to help people with their weight loss. So lots of posts that are counter productive to that goal doesn't really make sense.

    Plus someone who is like 2 week post-op writing long detailed posts about tucking into a burger and fries as soon as they is the kind of thing, we as supportive helpful WLS patients should be trying to discourage. We are supposed to be helping each other achieve healthy positive goals.

    If we aren't going to do that what is the point.

    This post is also in rants, so OP can rant all she wants.

    I'm one of those that read a lot, but don't comment too often. BUT...I have seen people that do this. I've seen one person talk about having the surgery and going right back to eating the junk food again as you have said. It very well may have been the same person. Imay scheduled for Jan 23, last thing I want to do is come to this site and see people doing that crap. It's ridiculous. When you know you u ate wrong and you are going to continue to do it, why even post about it?!? I don't want to come here and see that crap. I personally liked reading lipsticklady and babbs comments.

    If you can't handle the real answers, don't post looking for it. It's called putting on your big girl panties and dealing with it!

    Why!?!? Why do that to yourself? I just fon't understand it.

    ****, there are days when i drive past checkers and wish i had fries. But i don't need it.

    What i really don't understand is why make the post in the first place if you know most people aren't going to give you the supportive answers you're looking for?

    What's the point of even being in a support group then if you're doing all that? We all want to see everyone succeed but that's not the way to go about it.

    I had to think about this subject before replying!! It should be said that I love a good argument with people who can argue without getting personal or resorting to below the belt tactics. My people don't have to be the same religion, same colour, same politics or cheer for the same hockey team!!

    Having said that, I cannot condone racism or bigotry. I'm Canadian so I'm not sure if it is right for me to comment on your politics but your President Elect is a stereotype of everything I despise in a person. First and foremost, he is a bully and I despise that above all things even racism and bigotry!! When someone on my Facebook list chooses to admire him, then I know we have nothing in common and gives me a clear insight to their true character.

    However, I also despise militant Social Justice Warriors whose constant theatrics trivializes true injustices. They are not concerned about how people are treated, but rather want to be noticed and applauded! Though my son is a grown man now, I am a single parent who supported us by hard work and not relying on the system to take care of us. I was a feminist BEFORE it even had a name!! But I love having a door opened for me and my arm taken so that I don't slip and fall!!

    I'm complicated!! lol But I don't take any crap from anyone. I hate scenes and public displays. I never have a battle of wits with an unarmed person so I choose to ignore them. I have unfriended people but have also just chosen to not follow some so that I don't hurt their feelings. I can't keep quiet if someone is being bullied but usually wait till I get them alone!!

    I don't know if that answers your question or begs more questions!!

    LOL. This is what I just posted in the "What do I do when I hit maintenance" thread. Timely.

    Well, and just to give you an idea how fast things can go south:

    I was towing the line really well around Christmas. Like staying the same weight within literally a half pound. I was so proud of myself!

    Then winter hit here in Boise.

    We got more snow in the last couple of weeks than we've gotten in literally 2 winters. @jenn1 can vouch. We were trapped in our neighborhoods, people couldn't get to work, school was closed for 6 days, and we were shoveling snow every couple of hours for a week straight. I was having to forgo the gym to take my son to work because his sedan couldn't get out of his subdivision for a week. Every time I would get enough gumption to go to the gym, I'd decided to not go because the roads were so treacherous. I figured shoveling snow would suffice.

    Between not going to the gym for almost 2 weeks, and a little comfort and frustration eating, I am up 3 pounds as of this morning. Just like that. The good news is I think there's a break in the weather, and I actually made my ass go to the gym today and I feel better :) But it will take me a month to get this off. Honestly.

    Life happens, but we have to learn to adapt and roll with the punches without it totally derailing our progress. This is the hardest part of the whole thing.

    I'm in Canada and we have even more snow and ice than normal!! Also I deal with depression this time of year and feel hungry ALL the time!! I've regained 13 pounds since October and I hope spring gets here quickly!! I read this forum constantly to give me incentive and firm up my resolve!!

    We have 2 1/2 to 3 feet of snow!! Snow banks are about 5 to 6 feet along the sides of the road!! It's been averaging about 15 F but supposed to warm up a couple of degrees. You guys are all lightweights! lol

    There are so many nice, intelligent people contributing to these forums. Their information is on point, their insight invaluable!! I look for some of these people under all of the comments so that I can follow them for their remarks, advice and humour!!

    THEN there are those people, mainly women I'm sorry to say, who take every remark, every answer, every comment that does not suit them and they turn the discussion into a battle!! They seem to feel that everything written is an attack on their sanity, their intellect or their standing in the world!! They go into attack mode with the slightest provocation and insist you leave their thread and their life!! I truly don't understand this kind of mentality and how people with such thin skin can function in the real world!!

    It's so nice to a have a forum of like minded individuals, WLS/losing weight, where everything and anything can be discussed. Why ruin it with name calling, direct personal attacks and a militant stance?

    Please remember now, this is MY RANT!!

    Seriously? I'm absolutely bewildered at all this valuable energy expended towards a $3 split fee. A "horrible" restaurant experience? You enjoyed the food by your own admission. If you had enjoyed it more would that have changed your opinion? Probably not. While I agree the manager could have handled this better, this IS absolutely done all the time in better restaurants. Believe me, as a previous restaurant owner, your refusal to go back would have been music to my ears and worth every penny of the $3.00. Not every business wants you as a customer.

    I'm so glad SOMEBODY finally stated the obvious!! I used to own a restaurant also and this kind of customer gave me a headache just seeing them walk in!! Seriously people, double dishes, double Water, double sides etc. $3.00 is cheap! And for the manager spoke to you like that at the restaurant, something else was said! No manager starts out a conversation rudely to a customer unless some other incident or words proceeded it.
