If this is a place for people to vent and get things out, then what's the issue? I vented and got things out in this safe haven. The thing is healthy venting doesn't include lies to promote sympathy. She is always the victim. Why do you think that is? But most of all I DO want her to succeed at her weight loss and what is coming around the corner from her BF is not going to help her. I will promise you this though. I will not and have not said anything at work. I will keep this a safe haven for Rhonda. Unfortunately, a few people at work already know what's going on with the BF, that's how I found out. Rhonda, I hope you get everything resolved and I hope that this issue with the BF doesn't keep you from your goal.

Firefly, thanks for treating this place as V's safe haven. It is, as you have remarked, your safe haven, too. This is a special place and a wonderful community for so many of us. I am now at goal but I don't think that I could have done it without the help of LBT and I figure that my continuing attachment to LBT is helping me maintain - especially now while I am defilled! Typing with my own two paws sure does stop me from being able to eat. :wink2:

How is your weight loss going?

Even if this is the Rants and Raves board we do not allow personal attacks/threats on people. I suggest your read the rules of the board.

Attack? Little bit of a double standard isn't it?

There is a difference between someone posting a vent/"attack" about something in their life, and memboers of our board making personal attacks about each other.

"My husband is an idiot, why do men do this shit..."

"You are an idiot Sarah (Sarah being a board member)."

Very different scenarios. So instead of trying to call double standard when you'er so new here, please do familiarize yourself with not only our rules, but perhaps even our "mood." It's certainly not a requirement, but may help make your time here more enjoyable, as well as expedite acclimation. On that note, are you banded, or just here to... post? If you are banded, share your story. We love to hear others' stories.

By the way, thank you all to the true LBTers who have posted their support of me.

:tt1: It really helped when I read back on these posts.

awesome! That made me laugh today. I needed that!
