....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

I didn't post in that thread, because ALL I could think to say over there to the OP was to go blow it out their arse, and that's not very nice, so I thought I'd vent a bit here. I feel a little better now.

OK, what the hell is vegemite, exactly??? I've heard a little bit about it, I've even googled it, but I'm still confused about what the stuff really is....

Wheetsin has it exactly right.

It's salty, bitter and oh-so-yummy

Vegemite is similar to Marmite, you either love it or hate it!

will you guys PLEASE stop the complaining... you're cramping my 'feel good' attitude...

I hate it when someone talks shit about my size. Says "good for you, you have come a long way" then says I have "That look" that she finds unattractive.

Fuck her, and her tootsie rolls. I find her attitude unattractive.

Well, I'll never talk shit about your size, since I'm shooting for that myself. I know my ticker and my sig line say differently, but I figure what the hell, it's a good starting point.

It's just taking me FOREVER to get it through my thick skull to to shut my gob and move my ass if I'm ever going to get there.

I am unatracktive and I like it that way...

:thumbup:

People are going fcking nuts here lately. What the hell is up?? lol...

It's either in the water, spring fever, or 2 or 3 people sharing about 275 logins. I'm not sure which... but it makes me want to cry. Not really, but really.

Can something be done about the whole "I know she thinks I am fat" bullshit?

I never said anything of the sort, whereas they have said that I am unattractive. It's kinda hypocritical actually. Funny too.

But I digress.

After a good 5km with my beloved, and a coffee, I am feeling rather mellow, and actually feel sorry for those women who have nothing better to do than try to cut others down (or up to?) to their size on the internet.

Is that shit going on AGAIN?! Where? I've not been reading many new threads lately (mostly just going to threads that I'd already posted to), so LBT has actually seemed rather boring and much tamer than it was a few months ago. I just thought all the nuts that come out during the holidays went back in their holes. Guess I managed to miss all the fireworks.

Same game, different players. Justifying ones own position by attacking someone else's.

I don't need to justify my position to anyone, I just am, and I am happy with it. I am just an easy target because I represent everything that they are not.

*Healthy (I haven't had to go to hospital for malnutrition and low potassium)

*Happy (who calls strangers unattractive for no reason? Is this something a happy person does?)

*Fit (But apparently that is an addiction transfer)

*At a healthy weight (but healthy is unattractive)

So whatever.

Added a thought

WTF? I would like to read that post where someone is cutting you up or down. I would tell her/him where to shove it.

chickie you rock and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I would kill to look like you. I know that no matter how hard I try, I will never get down to where I actually should be for my height, which is 110 lbs.

I will be happy at 145 and if I lose anything past that, it's just a bonus. I am stuck on another plateau, which has happened the entire time I have been banded. I have never lost weight every week, like

others, but nobody will ever hear me complaining that someone else looks skinny just because I will never be skinny.

The trying to cut me down I can live with. I understand it's their own insecurities that drive that line of attack. And I actually feel sorry for women who at 13, and 20 something years older than me who should know better than to name call. I feel sorry that they are not at peace with who they are.

It's when they say things like "I am sure she would think I am fat"

Based on what exactly? The fact that I am the size I am? Where the hell did that comment even come from? Why would I think anything of the sort. That I don't understand.

And I did have to laugh at the addiction transfer comment. I love the arm chair psychiatry. I wonder what they would think of athletes who train for hours and hours a day if my 30 to 60 minutes a day is excessive.

Humans come in all shapes, sizes and colors. And it makes the world a beautiful place to live in.

I am glad I am addicted to exercise. I get really bummed out when

anything interferes with my gym time.

I knit and read more than I exercise. Does this mean that knitting and reading are my true addictions?

Where do I go for help for knitting and reading addictions?
