Bullies, meanies, and Police! OH MY!

ETA: TL/DR - WE AREN'T ALL MEAN HERE

I'm gonna get slapped for this one, but I have to speak.

This site is full of BULLIES!
People are so MEAN!
Watch out for the MFP Police!


Really? People, I mean, really?
How old are we?


Can we not realize that not everyone is going to hand us flowers?
Not everyone will kiss our behind?
And not everyone will be given a free pass to the next grade.

When we've fallen and scraped our knees, there are some will pick us up, kiss our tears away and give us a lollipop; and some will holler "suck it up buttercup, you've got work to do"

I get that weight loss is an emotional topic. I get that there are a lot of people who battle emotionally with the issues, and I totally agree that compassion is a wonderful thing and it should be served liberally.

Thing is, though...

Weight loss is also a tough topic.
Getting is shape is hard. Staying in shape is a hard.

IT IS HARD


No one here knows it all.
That's why the community as a whole can be valuable. Taken with a grain of salt and a huge dose of research it for yourself (google - yay!), there is a lot that can be learned from the people here. EVEN THE MEAN OLD BULLY POLICE!!

Maybe, instead of getting mad, hurt, or ragequitting... try taking a deep breath.
Re-reading the comment.
Read it out loud in your own voice.
And ask... could there be any truth in this?

You might be surprised.


Yeah I know people will say... OMG you haven't lost any weight, who are you to be posting. Well, yeah, I've lost maybe 20 pounds. My mom on the other hand struggled with eating disorders her entire life, so I was raised with an unhealthy attachment to staying thin. I was raised with an "OBESE MIND" in that I always worried I was fat.

I am fit now, and there's a difference.
I have been busting my *kitten* for the last three years to lose those 20 pounds and 6 dress sizes. I don't eat great half the time, I don't log my food anymore, but I do put up massive calorie burns. I know what it's like to push hard, and to struggle with knowing what to eat. I know what it's like to emotional eat. I know what it's like to not want to eat at all.

I may not have a huge loss in my ticker, but I've learned a lot. And maybe, I have something to share too.

And that's my point.

MAYBE, just MAYBE, the bullies, the meanies and the police, have something to share. Maybe the delivery can suck, maybe it can be hilarious at times... but the value is there...

just please... try to see it before you get mad?

Thanks for this, but I think I'm done with trying to be helpful, here. For every post like yours, there are 20 complaining about "bullies", "know-it alls" and "rude people".

I'm not so knowledgeable that my lack of input will be detrimental to the site or anything, but any effort I make to prevent people from having to learn things the hard way appears to be met with resistance and resentment. It isn't like I'm paid to be here. I thought I was being kind, but if that isn't the way it is perceived, I'm just wasting my time.

When I signed up there were a few people who I thought were total b*tches. After awhile, I started to let go of my denial and their posts started to make sense to me. Now they're on my FL and I'm so grateful for the "mean" crowd b/c their posts are the ones that got through to me. I wanted to punch people in the face when they said that people who don't have time to exercise just don't want it enough. But they're RIGHT. :flowerforyou:

An easy fix for people whose delivery sucks who are tired of hearing that their delivery sucks: change the delivery, or suck it up when you get feedback about your delivery sucking.

It doesn't matter how you deliver it... someone is still going to find a reason to get butthurt.

Because butthurt is their perpetual state of being and they're walking around looking for reasons to justify it.
