Raise your hand . . .



Recommended Posts

Raise your hand if you ever felt personally victimized by Regina George.

Sometimes this forum sounds more like "Mean Girls" than Bariatric PAL. I've been coming here for 18 months now and it's been this way the whole time. Lol. Never a dull moment.

Since you've chosen to keep returning to this forum over the past 18 months, then presumably you're gaining something from it, so that is a positive. :) I've seen a few snarky posts here, but I've also witnessed the same people make an effort to try to genuinely help others. I've actually encountered more complaints about "bullies" than evidence of the bullying. I don't know if moderators have deleted the posts construed as offensive, or if I've just not come upon them. To answer the question, I've never felt victimized by "mean girls" here. Honestly, strangers on the internet do not possess the power to make me into a victim. As Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." My advice is that you refuse to give that consent. Unless you enjoy the drama, I'd skip over the posts of people who you think belittle others, or offer nothing of value, and focus instead on what benefits you.

Am I going to be called a mean girl or a bully if I point out that I thought that movie completely sucked? Like, colossally?

I don't like movies about teenagers unless they're getting hacked up. And I can't say I've ever felt like I was being chainsawed while posting here.

Then again, I just might be the one doing the carving, since I don't always agree with other posters or reinforce behaviour that I don't agree with.

Is it sad that I'm a guy and I know that the Regina George comment is from the movie Mean Girls?

Not really. I had to look that name up though, LOL. Didn't see that movie.

Feeling old.... I have no clue what anyone is talking about, save @@Dub and his ass kicking.

It's my modus operandi.

When you get old you repeat yourself.

Did you know that when you get old you tend to repeat yourself?

Umm... I don't recall what you were talking about but did you know that as we age we repeat ourselves?

Can you repeat what you were saying?

Squirrel moment!

Not even "Clueless"?? That's the best movie about teenagers ever IMO.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
