tired of being lectured on here

  • Popular Post

I am really sick and tired of being lectured on this site...people assuming just because I was fat, that I had an unhealthy relationship with food. Not everyone was like this! Pre op, I never ate to excess because when I was full I would stop eating. (I was on a low calorie lifestyle change and stuck with it for years...I stuck with it so I wouldn't gain weight) Fat people get this stereotype from those on the outside all the time (that we eat a lot)and I finally thought this was a place of non judgement. I am aware many on this site got the way they are because they ate a lot but not everyone. Same goes with exercising: people are lecturing that you have to make sure you exercise daily or else and half of these holier than now lectures haven't seen the inside of a gym until this year. Which isnt a problem because they have chosen to make a change but do not lecture others when you dont know their history. Finally...being lectured about my post op drinks. Everyone is given a list by their drs and are not supposed to stray away from that list. I was told 2oz 3x per day of boost, ensure, atkins, slim fast, etc. I am constantly being told these are not healthy...and being read the nutrition facts..um I have it right in front of me and can read but honestly if my dr says to drink it I will.

  • I would like to answer your lecture about lecturing but I'm afraid I might lecture. Edit: Oops, I think I just did.

  • I tried to do some research about what percentage of obese adults had obese parents but got nowhere. All I could find was that adolescent obesity becomes a bigger factor than genetics although that is

    I do think from your history of posts that you are a bit sensitive to feedback as are many people. I wan't involved in the thread you are speaking of being lectured in (I don't think!), but I do ofte

Where did i say i wanted feedback in this post?

It's a forum--by posting at all, you are inviting feedback....
LOL

Serious! Is it a Vitamin shaped like a muffin

( you know kinda like a flintstones vitamin is shaped like bam bam)?

Or is it a "healthy" muffin packed with Vitamins so that when you eat it instead of making you fat it will make you healthy and strong???

EXACTLY. There is one particular poster that makes me nuts. If she isn't given the exact answer she wants to hear, she reacts as if you just put a hot poker to her vajayjay. I don't post in her threads for her benefit, but for those who have similar issues and might benefit from my experience. :D

Sorry to be off topic but, I can totally agree on that!

I have no problem with feedback but people were saying I posed a question which I obviously did not.

Last I checked' date=' that's a question. :D[/quote']

Yes and it wasnt answered...I discussed this early on that my original post had no question and only the second post did. That question was not answered anyway. I figured either people would answer what they were lectured about not ask me why I'm fat if I never overate .. why are we still talking about this?

I answered. I don't feel lectured by others because I don't let others affect me in a negative way. :D

My mistake you did answer. ..I guess it was over shadowed by the other people asking me why I haven't lost weight. Kinda a little touchy subject for me since i obviously wanna know the same thing. ..but I feel I answered it well about 4-5x on this thread.

The one absolute rule of any forum is that, regardless of your topic , most input is conveyor belted out. That does not mean that all simply spew their theories blindly, though some do. It does mean that I can only draw from the experiences in my 'factory' and lay them out. Another good rule of thumb. Tangents make the forum go 'round and often spur other discussions or lighten the mood. And don't we all like being 'lighter' from time to time. :D
