Well :-(

It seems that an individual decided to report my beach photo post from this morning about exercising/loving who you are now in this moment, and living life to the fullest and actively and joyfully as possible pre-surgery.

It makes me angry when people get catty about positivity. Why be in a support group if you aren't going to share the wins, too?

Misery loves company, but I won't continue to participate if that's the way it is going to be here. Easy as that. ✌️

Anyone know if there is a way to delete your profile? There are plenty of likeminded individuals in social platforms.

      Some people just suck. You do you. Don't let them affect YOUR great progress.

    No clue. I didn't think the post was offensive at all. But... everyone is fighting their own battles and you never know what ticks people off in their sensitivity stages.

    Post was the opposite of offensive. I found it uplifting.

    It's not that this will hinder progress at all, but throwing shade isn't cool—especially when they can do it anonymously without risk of a clap back.

    Not seeing the ability to delete a profile (just recommendations on ghosting).

    I don't understand how that can happen and people go have months and page long threads about their adventures with adultery.

    I really liked your post and thought it was some needed positivity.

    Please don't delete your account before I can PM you, lol.
