I hate it when people post just to post.....

....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'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

I have to laugh. She is so self involved that she thinks that *I* think she is fat.

Uh. Yeah. Truth is I don't care. I just don't think about anyone else's weight but mine. Even DH's weight doesn't concern me.

Whenever she goes on about thin people being ugly, and unattractive I think of this;

Æsop. (Sixth century B.C.) Fables.

The Harvard Classics. 1909–14.

The Fox and the Grapes

ONE hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. “Just the things to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: “I am sure they are sour.”

“IT IS EASY TO DESPISE WHAT YOU CANNOT GET.”

Apparently Asians are the only people who look Ok thin.

Wait...what? Chickie, you're not asian????!!!!!

:thumbs_up:

Oh, then you're way too thin.

but I found what you all are talking about. I think.

Laurend-I hadnt been on here for awhile, your numbers are looking good!

I am at a standstill, and went to get another fill 3-31. Now I have next to no restriction, I feel like I am sliding down hill backwards here. I wonder if he took some accidently instead of putting some in? Does that happen very often?

Thanks!

I don't want to scare you, but if you had restriction before you went for the fill, you should have more restriction now. With a sudden lack of restriction, I'd worry about a slip. Definitely call your doctor and have them check you out. They may have made a mistake when they were giving you the fill, but you definitely want to check and make sure that nothing else is going on.

It makes perfect sense if she is displaying Anorexic behavior. And a lot of people here are stuck so far up her ass they can't see daylight. Seeing sense here is uncommon.

I do have to question why we are supposed to NOT talk about trying to get to / getting to a healthy BMI because some people don't want to / can't get to a healthy BMI?

Why are we supposed to be sensitive to people who call a healthy BMI ugly and unattractive?

You know, I have no idea. I'm certainly not yet at a "healthy" BMI, but even I can see that overweight is overweight is overweight. Is it healthier than "morbidly obese?" Sure. But it still isn't as healthy as "healthy," no two ways about it. It's why you get told by your doctor that you need to lose a few. It's why, all other things being equal (family disease history, smoking habits, etc.), an overweight person will pay more for health insurance than a person with BMI in the healthy range. It's 'cause overweight people are statistically not as healthy as people with a "normal" BMI!

Why is it apparently so hard to recognize that and own it? Thinking you look best with a BMI of 28 is great, but it doesn't change the fact that those extra pounds are likely to carry with them a few extra health issues that a person with a BMI of, say, 23, isn't as likely to have.

Dammit.

I loved the "advanced age" jab! :frown: LMAO!

I'll be completely blunt. Screw that. My personal journey is not done until I reach a normal BMI and I'll be damned if I am going to agree to being told that I have to keep my mouth shut to keep other happy because I can see that a normal BMI is the healthiest option. Others can do whatever the heck they want but they HAVE TO realise that any BMI above a normal one is going to carry with it higher health risks. Thats a proven medical FACT that they just cannot dispute.

I think it's just hilarious that we all sit here and talk about this. Does she not have a clue?

Oh and I can't remember who asked, but yes, once I went in for a fill and totally lost all my fill. Dr. pulled out what was in there, and must have missed the port when he put it back in. I went back in a few days and he said "you have no saline" I told him "why do you think I am back here?" I don't have a leak, cause I am at my sweet spot now. So yes, it does happen. How it happens is still a mystery to me.

Maybe I should have a fill so I can get to goal by puking and becoming malnourished.:rolleyes::redface:

I think it's just hilarious that we all sit here and talk about this. Does she not have a clue?

I think being clueless is a side effect of malnutrition. I read that somewhere so it MUST be true.
