What is it with the superior 'oldies'!!

Why is it that when people have been successful at something ie: losing weight with the band, they become the judge and jury of any person who is now coming up behind them. They seem to self proclaim themselves as 'better' than the 'others', in an elite group and in some instances more virtuous than the rest of us. What makes succeeding in weight loss the holy grail, and thus the people who achieve it more perfect, more intelligent and more entitled to an opinion? In my opinion it appears to have made people more obnoxious and self rightious,not to mention condescending.

But as I have not yet attained the 'holy-weight-loss-I-am-without-fault-and-know-everything' badge my opinion probably doesn't count.:faint:

You will have to type louder. I can't hear you from up here on my high horse rofl.gif

So if there are none of y'all self absorbed, rude, obnoxious, successful "old-timers", who does the OP think will answer her questions?

When I did a liquid diet, I belonged to a liquid diet forum. Once a poster succeeded, they went away to the "maintenence" forum, and the rest of us lost the benefits of their experience. Hate to see something like that happen here. It's not necessarily PBs and sliming, it's tangible evidence that you can succeed 100% if you are willing to put in the work.

I'm curious -- were you on Hamilton's board? If you were, you'll know which one I mean. If so, I was an active member of that board back in 2003. Give me a PM!

I double dawg dare you! AND to leave it there for at least a month!

And it has to be HUGE and glittery!

You guys crack me up. I can barely figure out how to do a ticker let alone add something else. I will have to ask for help whenever I get around to losing some more so I can even update my ticker.

So I am no superior oldie. I am a dummy.
