Is it me or are a lot of people stepping back from MFP, changing their names, and kind of wanting to take a break?
People return incognito and I am clueless.

I find this place feels toxic at times, didn't feel that way until recently. Some people change their names for personal reasons, others are hiding behind a name because they aren't supposed to be here (which is fine if they're being respectful) but some of them can't act nice. It's too bad but there will always be people like that. I've left so many times because of this but not anymore, I just choose to not share too much now. I save that for my wall and my amazing friends list.
I'm waiting for your request 🥰7 -

Much like @ReenieHJ I'm clueless AND confused when it comes to the name changes or (temporary) disappearing. I get the need for personal choice, yet...
🗣️ How am I supposed to admiringly stalk people and/or make effusive compliments on their alluring photos if I don't know they changed their name?
Sometimes it is easier to tell who is who, off of how they express themselves but, YEESH, I miss quite a few MFPers.
Still, if they left because they feel the forums are toxic for them, then their health is what matters most 🤗4 -
I just noticed it's international women's day today.
I'm taking a break from making sandwiches7 -

Oh, the same mostly; my folks made their way back home today (on the road). Still have not heard from their doctor or the team in response to my stepmom's treatment, but we'll see. Waiting for answers (if there are any), is hard for us all, though.
Realizing I need to do more for myself to possibly minimize any cancer risks I can (being obese is a cancer risk, btw). I don't smoke, or drink in excess or engage in other behaviors that might increase my risk, but the obesity one and lack of exercise is something I recognize I need to change.
But my brain (and body) likes the path of least resistance and finds it really hard to change. Moreso on the exercise front rather than the dietary choices one. Still, it would be nice to not be fat for once in my life, especially if it helps curb potential risk to myself.5 -

Thinking of you always 🤗
Unfortunately, nobody is immuned to Cancer, I wasn't overweight when I was diagnosed, I don't smoke and I exercised although I was a little overweight before and had a bit of a drinking problem. I do wish I would have taken better care of myself in the past and it sucks that I only realized that when it was too late. Many people only realize that when it's too late. You can do it, do it for you because you deserve that ❤ we only have 1 body and 1 life to live. You don't need to make drastic changes right away, start with little things and then you will see how you start feeling better and will want to keep going. Being healthy also isn't only exercise and eating right, you need to take care of your mind too. I know you are able to do this. It may be difficult right now because you and your family are going through things but I believe in you 🤗4 -
Huh 594 disagrees.
594 people(or 1 person 594 times) who hid behind a click and a screen to voice their opinion silently.
Huh
Hiding behind silence has never been a good idea. Speak up or forever hold your disagrees.4 -

True!
In this particular instance, her risk factors were obesity and the fact that she had never given birth before (uterine cancer). Apparently that ends up being a really high risk factor for this type of cancer after the age of 50.
But outside of that, she also didn't smoke or drink or do anything I would consider risky (and she was in the process of losing weight on her own). Oddly, most people in her family don't get cancer (they die of undiagnosed heart issues). So it really shocked everyone (including her doctor) when the results came back positive for this type of cancer (or any, really).
But you are correct: I need to do this for me. I still have a desire to live to be 100 (and be mobile at that point). Besides, I have a lot more stuff I want to do!2 -

Excuse me, what people are you speaking of? I only see people who enjoy your presence here.2 -
I like reading everyone else's thoughts, but apparently this is the one and only thing I post in this thread. I can't really say it /tell someone else as a married woman, but....
Saw my gym crush today, and it had been like 2 months, I think. I admit it, he's total eye candy to me (tall and super fit/strong), but as a bonus, he does have good gym etiquette and asks me if I'm using a machine if I happen to be next to it. He was doing Smith squats next to my trap bar deadlifts, but I was still able to focus on my lifts
