    I've always found the blunt advice to be the best. Sugarcoating things never worked for me. It just makes me think everythings ok

    So true. "ignorance is bliss but knowledge is power."

    As long as none of My friends tell me to put down the spoon when I close my diary with ice cream for the third day in a row then everything will be ok. :laugh:

    Simply put I'm not here for people to judge me I'm here to be motivated and inspired by everyone's fitness journey. I don't want to be critiqued by other people's current fitness priorities. I just want to celebrate when I do well and shrug off the bad. The rest will come in time.

    As for those people who stomp their feet, run out of the forum pouting, and delete their account (usually getting the best threads deleted or locked, too) just because not everyone agreed with them 100% of the time...... yeah.... don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

    This. If you can't handle a little bit of internet disagreement, you probably have confrontational issues in real life.

    Trolling is so much easier than judging. I feel it puts me at the highest echelon of douchebaggery.
    echelon

    I think a forum like this needs all types - the ones who will NOT sugarcoat, who will give it straight and dirty, like it or not. And it ALSO needs the ones who will couch advice in much friendlier tones. Because there are all types who read these forums. ALL types. And the exact post that is going to infuriate someone may be the very post that motivates another. And the post that is too touchy-feely for some, may be the very post that helps someone begin their own journey.

    So you be you and I'll be me, and the sun will rise tomorrow.

    Perfect -- I couldn't agree more!

    You can't control people, so how about not telling people how YOU feel they should act? =/

    I think we should all act like different types of birds, but you know, life isn't always fair. >_< Coooo

    I did mention something about how advice was just that, didn't I?

    I'm not telling anyone. I'm suggesting.

    So I find it interesting to see you post this after two days ago posting on your status not to judge on your drinking night....

    not that I dont agree with you.... just thought i would point that out.

    Bahahaha, good point. You also saw I had a 1500 calorie burn that day, and I am still under calories. Granted, booze is empty calories though.

    But you have to be able to live a little. I'm not saying judge someone on the occasional times they splurge, I'm saying when its a constant habit.

    And besides, that was only a sub-point of this article. The main point was don't be so damn sensitive. :D


    Yep... like i said I agree... there are a few whiney people on here.... just made me laugh the irony of the one statement then the other.....

    And yes you did work your tail off to be able to indulge that evening.... and the pics were a nice result of the evening as well...

    A cheeseburger is 300 calories. Surely as long as the person is logging the calories for the burger and staying within their daily amount then it's nobody elses business what they are eating? No it's not the healthiest thing to be eating, 6 days a week, but it's their choice. They might not be here for the same reason as you so unless they ask for your opinion on the matter then it's really got nothing to do with you.

    Your post is refreshing and here is why -

    Every community as you know is comprised of individuals who refuse to accept responsibility for their "lot" in life. Regardless if it revolves around obesity, drug addiction, sex addiction, not having the ability to manage their money, being irresponsible. These same people will tell you that "nothing is their fault and everybody else is responsible for what ails them, or their problems.

    The cool part about advice is to you take what you need and leave the rest. Right? We are all here to help, we just do it in different ways, and we can't hand a script to others and say "Please only give me advice that's going to make me feel good, even if it's not the truth."

    The reason I weigh over 300 lbs is because I bent my elbow and put way too much food in my mouth and didn't exercise. I chose to binge. No one held a gun to my head and said "I am commanding you to binge or I will kill your son or yourself."

    Do I have an addictive personality?

    Abos****inlutley.

    But at the end of the day the choices I made are mine alone. This bull**** about "It's not my fault" is happy horse****.

    So I will make a deal with you -- You are 24 years old, and I am 48. I am old enough to be your mom and for 24 years old you are wise beyond your years, in fact I know many doctors, lawyers, and other professionals who are light years behind you when it comes to common sense and seeing the real picture.

    But I digress -- My point is, you stay on my *kitten* and judge the hell out of me, and I will do likewise. My thinking is that at the end of this journey you and I will both be healthy and fit because we were accountable and accepted help while the other whiny baby pissy pants who can't stand to hear the truth are still going to be fat, overweight, sad, and miserable.

    Whattya say?

    Tell it like it is!

    Hello fellow MFP peeps,
    Just a quick note to say, if someone says something that personally upsets you or breaks the forum rules, then please report it. Seriously, if you feel that upset by a member's post, then please report it. If you read something you disagree with then please just ignore it and move to another thread. This forum is an incredible place and is growing by the day: You must remember that we are all individuals and we all have different diet methods and we all have our own ways of learning, advising and living.

    I don't know how this all got started. What I do know is that you care and have a good heart. Otherwise you wouldn't be on here writing this. Some people can't be pleased no matter what:noway: ; for some a pitty party is a way of life:cry: ; and for some - it's misery :frown: wanting company.

    I believe you were trying to be helpful and had the best of intentions. But, you can't please everyone....

    Sometimes it isn't about being overly sensitive or thin-skinned. I see a lot of fights here that seem to be caused by people who feel really strongly about their beliefs in what the best diet is or how much protein, carb, and fat should be consumed, insulin control vs. total calories, etc..etc..etc. These types of discussions seem to escalate into heated arguments pretty quickly. A few weeks ago, just asking about low carb would almost guarantee the thread would cause an argument whereby MFPers would be hurling insults at each other.

    How about, if you don't want feedback, advice, and criticism, then don't post on a public forum.

    "Pussifaction of modern society"... hahaha. Don't even get me started on 5 year old T-Ball. Everyone gets an equal turn and they don't keep score. *face palm*

    Oh.... and they hand out the "Guide to Parental Behavior" at the start of the season. *double face palm*
