    Toughen up, you snowflakes

    edited September 2024 in Motivation and Support
    Aw, what's the matter, you asked a question and didn't like the answers you got? Maybe you were looking for someone to "OK" your plan to try something unhealthy, harmful, or just plain stupid? Maybe you asked a question that was already asked 5 minutes ago and will be asked again 5 minutes from now, and people are sick and tired of hearing and answering the same thing over and over? Are you looking for the "shortcut", the "easy way", perhaps a product, maybe one featured in an infomercial, to help you lose weight and become fit with a minimal of effort. Or maybe just a pill? Do you really think you can buy success?

    The "rules" of success are easy - eat right and work out. Following them is not always easy. It's hard work and it takes discipline. You *will* spill blood, sweat, and tears before it's all over. Save your crying and your tears for the workout where you've hit a new personal best, and spare us your crying on the forum when someone didn't beat around the bush and gave you some straight info without sugar coating.

    Want support? Keep your mind open and work towards optimal health and fitness, and you will receive unlimited support here.

    You want someone to spell it all out for you? Read a book, hire a trainer or a nutritionist, or reach out to an MFP member and have them share their routine with you.

    Don't be lazy. Don't come crying about lack of support when people advise you to avoid bull****.

      Stop it Taso, you are scaring me. :sad:

      I agree with you, I think it is even worse that people respond with saying these unhealthy things are okay, and if we don't respond to the dozens of posts then the OPs may actually be hurting themselves, by taking bad advise, when everyone could have saved time if the OP only searched.

      Stop it Taso, you are scaring me with that tone.

      OR instead of posting on a forum these pearls of society could actually just RESEARCH their question. Seriously people, didn't they teach you how to research in high school/college??? If you're too lazy to sit at a computer and look answers up then you are probably too lazy to lose weight. So good luck with that.
