Today I quit everything, Welcome me to MFP!

christinemadden0223

WAIT! I lift and have two pit bulls.... damn... double meat head?!

I remember when I quit everything, I had nothing to do :laugh:

Did you create a thread that day to entertain yourself and insult people that were trying to offer advice? Because THAT is how you do it you know.

I actually side with the OP!

This place can be quite the hive mind at times, sometimes a little compassion goes a long way, certain people may not find their way to a place like this on their best footing. Don't get me wrong, some people on here deserve all they get based on their actions. Not this OP, she seems cool in my book and amusing, in a smart way

Please note...I did not start in on this thread until I saw she insulted someone for lifting. Calling them a meathead moron. Sooooo. You have that and the fact that anyone will tell you I am not part of any "hive mind" I develop my own opinions.

I lift and I have a pit bull. Clearly I'm a meathead.

I bet when you lose the weight and find out your face really isn't pretty your gonna wish you had a better personality.

You shouldn't speak ill off others faces with that profile pic.

How about you pick up that medicine ball you threw at my head n start doin' some crunches, eh?

Dear OP,

Please send me a friend request. I re-joined this pathetic community just because I was so disgusted to see the way you were being treated.

You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves. She did nothing wrong, she said nothing wrong. You saw some topic you could jump on, be stupid pedants, and make some really bad jokes. And like wolves you descended.

You referenced the Hunger Games in your first post, that's cool. My daughter and I love those books. I'd be really happy if I could be your friend and encourage you along the way.

In...

(...oh, sure, I was already in, but I definitely want to be in for this.)

You weren't even using the site, but now you're back for the sole purpose of supporting OP? What is your level of commitment to the site this time around? How (besides being there for OP) is it different than where you were before leaving the last time?

I am truly fascinated. Truly.

Awe sweetie, did I get under your thick skin? Let me guess, I'm in your chin right?

I feel sorry for OP; she seems to be trying really hard to exude a level of confidence and superiority that she really doesn't feel. I think people who act superior are really feeling inferior, acting superior is indeed a way of masking deep-seated feelings of inadequacy. That is what came to my mind...

Yep. Makes no sense. Weren't a member, but were somehow lurking in the forums? I smell bull****.

Good grief, I have been using My Fitness Pal on my IPad and decided to check on the forums today for recipe ideas and workout info. Wow you guys are so welcoming! <sarcasm. It seems like many of the responses to the OP have been very snarky. Thank goodness I only have 10 pounds to lose before my cruise and don't need friends/motivation from the folks on this board because some of you really do perpetuate the stigma of fat, grumpy, miserable people. I don't know why you guys are giving the OP such a hard time. Her itchy answers fit right in with the rest of you.

I'm not fat though.

OP responds to what she perceives as a rude comment with another rude comment, then realizes rude comment was actually sarcasm. Admits she was wrong, gets told she is a piece of crap with a bad personality and possibly has Asperger's.

Okay, I'm starting to understand this place a bit better.

1. OP showed true colors in that first post, in my opinion.
2. OPs profile sets a high standard for herself, which she's failed to demonstrate.
3. I have actually tried to give two pieces of genuine advice in this thread - one was ignored, the other was thrown back in my face with another handful of insult sprinkled in for good measure.

Ah well.

1. While opinions can't necessarily be wrong, yours sure is stupid.
2. She doesn't have to live up to anything by your standards.
3. Aw did someone insult someone and have it done back to them? Oh poor wittle you! She really should have just deactivated and given up to make you pack of jackals happy with yourselves.

She's been called ugly, accused of having a mental disorder, and a whole host of other attacks. With the welcome she's received it would be completely justified if she DID tell all of you to go to hell and deactivate. But she isn't. She's taking it and not backing down. I'll take her over any one of you.

She came here looking for help and friends while she tries to change her life. Where do any of you get off attacking her for that?

1. Ad-hominem attacks do not an argument make. Try harder to refute my point which was that when she jumped on someone and called them a moron she showed her true colors.
2. She's not failed my standards, she failed her own standards which are quite explicitly stated on her profile. You are absolutely correct that she has no obligation to live up to my standards, but then again, I didn't set any.
3. Please quote the posts where I called her ugly or accused her of having a mental disorder. I think the worst I said was 'trying too hard'. I suggested that a little humility goes a long way in a new place, which I guess implies that she's not humble, but I think she established that herself. Other than that I didn't outright say she was rude until she was rude directly to me.

So I finally read the profile and I'm confused. If one is so ruled by logic, AND superior, AND largely emotionless, AND less than social...HOW does one end up overweight?

Can't be the sabotage b/c for that to work you have to care what the other person feels.
Can't be ignorance of cals and health foods b/c superior.
Can't be emotional eating b/c logic trumps all that.
Can't be lack of exercise b/c "hating" exercise is an emotion.

So....

Arghbowl don't you have something heavy to lift instead of trying to use those last few brain cells you have managed to maintain? If you don't have anything productive to say on my post then keep moving. If you lack the common sense to read "I quit everything today", and take it to mean I stopped breathing and died, well the only word nice enough to describe you would be moron. *throws a medicine ball at Arghbowl* fetch boy!

you mess with arghbowl, you mess with me!

Wow ... just wow... I'm new too and now I'm thinking this site may be way too much like my pregnancy board I used to read a lot... Guess I need to read more threads to get a real idea of what this site is all about?

This place is *nothing* like babycenter.

*shudder*

My main takeaway from most of this is that I wish I still smoked pot.

HEY, you can just back off. It's not a mental disorder. It's just a different way of looking at the world.

Want some advice?

Eat at a deficit, get out and move around. Lurk in the forums and read up on some of the helpful threads that can be found, and don't take yourself or anyone else so seriously. This forum can be very helpful, but it can also spin out of control quickly ... see previous 8 pages...

Thank you will do. I just ignore the ones I get bored with anyways. I don't have much to say or advice to give as of yet. I think my introduction was great Weeded out people that would not fit into my idea of friends at the least.....so reading all the back and forth was worth it.
