Can anyone handle the truth??

i'm starting to get irritated, feeling like i may be the only one here really able to handle "tough love". if someone told me im fat (which nobody does, because i'm not, because i work hard EVERY DAY), i'd be like "ok, theyre right" and vow to do something about it. i wouldn't fall into a shame spiral and eat ten boxes of ringdings and cry fat tears feeling sorry for myself.

I don't understand how being all lovey-dovey to each other ("you look great the way you are!" when theyre 200 lbs, etc) is helping ANYONE. those who say it are lying and those who need to lose weight (for their own health) are not being helped by this.

everyone needs to cut the BS and be realistic with themselves. that's what i do. that's why my "before" looks like your "after".

is anyone else actually SERIOUS about fitness, or is everyone just looking for a shoulder to cry on instead of a true sense of motivation?

nut up or shut up.

    Well, if we're being honest, you're kind of a bonehead.

    I'm allergic to nuts, so I'm just gonna go the 'shut up' route.

  • Thank You!! I cannot stand it when I hear people say that their significant other thinks they look great no matter what they weigh!!...wake up..they are lying!!
  • if you think i'm wrong, you're exactly the type of person i'm talking about. the kind i feel sorry for when i see them pretending they're happy instead of making themselves happy.

    Oh geez... the wisdom of youth. I don't know what you're going for with this post, but it sounds like someone who has a superiority complex and has come here to scold all the fatties.

    Maybe you have NO IDEA what theses people have really gone through... I was pretty at my before... I WAS HAPPY at my BEFORE, because I didn't know any better...

    So when PEOPLE LIKE YOU, have THOUGHTS LIKE THIS...

    KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF AND SHAME ON YOU FOR HAVING ZERO COMPASSION FOR WHAT EVENTS YOU HAVE NO CLUE OF!!!

    YES, THAT SAYS 80 POUNDS LOST WOO HOO!!

    There is NO WAY you could understand, relate or have any clue what so ever what it is like or how you would react. You shouldnt judge people when you have no clue what they are really going through.

    WOW! That is really cruel of you! EVERYONE is a human being and should be supported whether they weigh 100lbs or 300lbs! This website is for support and friendship no matter what size you are!
    I find it sad that you are taking this approach! Kuddos to you for being where you think you are. I am too!! But I dont down on ppl that arent there yet!!

    I am totally honest but NOT abusive or derogatory. You don't need to tell someone they're fat. They have a mirror, clothes and television for that. In fact, you don't need to tell ANYBODY what's wrong with THEM. WHO are YOU, Halle Berry!?
    YOU just worry about improving yourself. Friends are supportive, not hateful.
    NOBODY is perfect - don't worry about the speck in MY eye- get the log out of yours

    THAT is MY truth
    I've said it before and I'll say it here - it's just TOO DAMN BAD we don't have a mirror for the soul - THAT I'd like to see- how about you?

    I totally agree..................well no actually I don't. Boy it must be nice to be so perfect and odor free. You want no BS ok, this post makes you sound uppity and that you think you are better than others. I agree that I don't want to hear someone complain and not do something about it but man you came off like a total............. People respect no BS but not with your kind of uppity attitude
