My rant is, it's too bad we aren't allowed to rant and rave in the Rants and Raves forum. It should be called the "Rants and Raves, But Only If It's Warm and Fuzzy and Don't You Dare Post What You Are Really Feeling or You Will Get Personally Insulted" forum.

Lol, there was one ranting about complaining and whining. Isnt that what ranting is anyway.

But just to play devils advocate, weren't you saying that people were wrong to feel as they did In your initial post? I'm not sure what you mean about friends joining in. Care to explain?

Wrong is not meaning I had in mind. More along the lines of baffling. That one can come so far in their journey yet after a few temporary setbacks they regret that trip.

As for the friends comment. Some posters have other members on this site that post on most threads they do and they tend to have the same tone of voice. From my experience.

Well it's NOT hot here in Idaho... That water froze solid before it even left the bucket! And my long, insulating big girl panties won't come off for at least another month

I guess its more of here is a place to rant but don t rant that way or you did not say it the way I would have so let me rant on your rant but then don't get irritated cause...blah blah blah me personally I had my husband read this stuff and he just laughed as I did and he said the same thing chill out have a beer and relax

I don't think anyone is telling anybody what to or what not to rant about. Like I said in my post above, why do folks take offense when somebody take offense to something you (not you, specifically, the general you) post when you know you are offending?

The goal was accomplished. You (again, not you) knew it would be offensive and people did, in fact, take offense. Any statement made from a position of strength does not need to be defended. If someone feels they need to defend a statement they make needs to re-think their statement or how eloquently it was made. If they cannot accept people with have differing opinions, then, well ... they will need to find their serenity in a different place.

I, myself, have felt the exact same frustrations posted by many of the rants. When I check myself, I realize it is time for me to take a break from the forums and get some perspective. We are passionate people here and I believe that is what makes are community strong. But passion can be a detriment to us, too, and we need to be cognizant of this and when we need to take a break.

Throw whatever offensive remarks you can at me. What offends one may not offend another. I don't cry "foul". I respond in kind. If I replaced Whine with Bored I bet someone would find that offensive. Actually there is a Rant about being bored with the lack of Originality on this site. I'm going to guess that popular author didn't meet with any offended posters. Better choose my words more careful next time.

omg I am now completely and totally offended!!! just kidding have a good one guys its a beautiful day out and I am grabbing my helmet and jumping on a motorcycle and going for a ride might have a beer or two....

someone mention me? lol @@Kindle

So you have switched threads and have continued down the same path with your sidekick....

I don't think this is what Kindle was trying to accomplish with this thread either.@TheOldMeAgain @rayanne.

Lighten up and have a beer..Do you know how many calories are in a beer?..lol

wow this is getting funny RJS beginning u r awesome but i am no ones side kick and while you are trolling please go thru my threads and you will see i have never talked to Theoldmeagain until yesterday on her thread. I realize you are a (BariatricPal Host) i do not need food police but thank you for your concern I am sure Kindle can speak for her self so I am not going to assume one way or another what she was trying to accomplish it is a social website for us to comment on right?

Let's all take it down here. Objectivity has been lost. Everybody's backs are up against the wall and all that is left is a distasteful pissing contest.

I've seen pissing contests between women and trust me ladies, it ain't pretty.

like i said chill out have a beer enjoy life PDXMAN you seem like a pretty cool guy!!!

LOL..your a hoot!

got stuck at work so no motorcycle ride for me so in trying to offer an olive branch @RJS/Beginnings I do think you are pretty awesome you have done amazing on your weight loss and I would like to pick your brain if you don t mind....how do you stay full I know we are to eat small means but I have a hard time with getting enough Protein. I have tried Protein shakes pretty gross...I find I eat a lot of hardboiled eggs..any other suggestions? Also do you drink a lot of Water I know you are sopose to drink a lot of water but I am horrible at it...

If I don't eat enough Protein I drink a protein juice drink. I like the flavor and it is from Syntrax....nector. They have some cool flavors. I also have protein meals from Blissfull Wellness. I like their hot chocolate. They range from 15 to 30 g of protein per serving.

I have just found out that I am reactive Hypoglycemic so now instead of eating 4 times a day I have to try to eat 3 meals and 3 Snacks. I had no idea that I could get that but they said they did not want to tell me because why add another thing onto what I have already have..But like me I got it so they say.LOL

I drink 64 oz of Water a day. Ii love water and when it gets closer to summer I will drink more....I can't handle boiled eggs. They are too dense for me so I eat scrambled. Weird to be able to eat it one way but not another.

I try very hard to make food interesting and different as much as possible. I eat so many different kinds of things now. Except. Beef it hates me. Pork does not care for me either. But I eat a lot of Beans and legumes, peas, nuts and seeds like squirrels do..lol

If I am shopping it takes me forever to buy food because I always look for salt content. Calories and amount of protein. Their are a lot of tasty recipes on Pinterest for salads and healthy meals that look and taste great.

I never count calories and I eat very slow....I sometimes can eat more then I need and other times I can't eat much. But I put a plate together. Protein, veggies and carb and I always eat the protein first. Then the veggies and last but not least the carbs.

I am a true believer that we need everything in our diets as we live in the real world. But in moderation and balance.....

Hope this is what you were looking for.....
