    If you want sympathy, I show you sympathy........you'll find it in the dictionary between "****" and "syphalis".

    My dictionary doesn't have "syphalis". :frown:

    Seriously??? Tell your buddies to suck it up and quit whining. If they hear something that's uncomfortable to hear, it's most likely something they NEED to hear. This site isn't supposed to be all "rah-rah, you're awesome" when someone eats like crap and doesn't exercise. Well, maybe some people are like that but they are part of the problem. If your friends want to make progress, tell them to listen to people that get on them for eating tater tots and being unhealthy. Those people are the solution; the enablers are the problem.

    Hmmm you seem hangry. Have a cookie. :flowerforyou:

    I like cookies.

    Who doesn't?

    Actually I have a friend who doesn't, but she's dead inside.

    Your friend doesn't like cookies??? Does she get mad if you tell her she's certifiably insane?

    She just rolls her eyes at me. That's actually an exchange we have often.

    Hold her down and shove Oreos down her throat. It's good for her. She'll thank you later. Or you two could just have a pillow fight about it and giggle a lot. That would be ok too.

    I thought we were talking about cookes here, and someone had to go bring up Oreos. Let's keep it to respectable cookies.

    YEAH CUZ BACON IZ HILARIOUS !!!! LOLZ !!!

    CANNOT GET ENOUGH BACON JOKES ON HERE !!! YAY !!! LOLZ !!!

    U GUYZ EVER EET NUT BUTTER ?!?!?! LOLZ !!!

    Am I sensing some insincerity here?

    I normally wouldn't care, but - I feel compelled to defend the bacon. The bacon is the innocent party here.
    The bacon was enveloping tater tots; ergo it was relevant. :flowerforyou:

    @OP -- Yup, mean people are mean. And sometimes, especially online, people come across as mean without, uh, meaning to. And some folks are very, very helpful -- and there are cliques, bullies, jokers, BFFs, and boors just like (insert your favorite traumatic formative era here). At the end of the day, they're (we're) all just random strangers on the Internet. For folks who have or can grow a thick skin, it's not that big a deal. Ya makes yer post and ya takes yer chances, and sort out the responses you like from the ones that bug you, just like in real life. Only difference between online meanness and real-world meanness is that online meanness is often easier to ignore or walk away from, since you never actually see or hear the ones online.

    Now back to important matters.

    ...because when people can hide behind a screen name they get ballsy.

    Nah. Even when my screen name was my real name, I was mean,

    Many people on this forum believe that successfully losing weight grants them the right to be pretentious little pricks.

    Could be, considering how quickly language is changing. Google is a now a verb.

    Oreos are poison. I prefer to stick to REAL cookies like peanut butter dipped in chocolate.

    Yeah. I think Webster spelled it wrong. In my dictionary he spelled it Syphilis. SIlly Noah!

    I'll have to go check Merriam. There may be an epidemic of misspellings.

    Most of the pretentious pricks were probably the same way prior to losing the weight.

    I haven't run across many of the mean people on this site and I have never had anyone comment on anything in my food diary, so I can't relate. Frankly I wouldn't give a *kitten* if someone did have something negative to say because, well, I'm an adult.
