does it bother anyone else...

When people comment on someone's food diary telling them they did such a great job, but then you look at it, and they didn't even eat 1000 calories that day? & on the message boards everyone is always like YOU HAVE TO EAT AT LEAST 1200 calories!!!!!

I don't know. Just kind of bothers me.

Um....everyone is differnent and open to try whatever means they wish. What makes you so omnipotent that you KNOW 1200 is the MAGIC number? Everyone's body is different. Maybe they need 1800 or 800.

If they are eating healthy choices and the intake is not high, yet their chemistry is good...then I say STFU. You are not a doc. You are not omnipotent. You are YOU. And that is not the AVERAGE.

All things said...if its not healthy choices, then maybe they have an issue. But until you post that PHD...again, I say..STFU

Okay for one I didn't say it bothered me that people eat less then 1200 calories a day. I don't even eat that a day. What bothers me is that the same people who push the 1200 calories a day on people, are the same one who then tell people oh you did a great job!!!!!! Even though they ate like 500-700 calories. So maybe you should just STFU(:

Sorry if we may have misunderstood you, but it seemed like you were pissed off that people were getting support when they shouldn't be getting support. If you're upset that people are hypocritical sometimes, well... yeah, it happens.

We are all different Im always under and most of the time its healthy choices. I also dont weight my food so my logs are possibly a little incorrect. Im not going to weight my broccoli if I feel like eating lots of broccoli I eat it... '

Why get so annoyed about such a thing...

Maybe the ppl commenting good job dont know any better themself isnt that how we all got fat in the first place from bad eating habits they probably think its good there eating so little because they just arent on the right track yet. And thats when your friends are suppose to come in and and help you on the right path so if it bothers you that your friends are eating so little or being congratulated on it say something isnt that why your there friend in the first place for support?

I agree and that's probably because those commenting don't look at the diaries. They just want to comment. I read each and every diary of my friends before I comment.

Me too :flowerforyou:

I could see that point, but also see the perspective that many here are here for the support. They took the time to focus on their goals and I dont have an issue giving an atta-boy for that at all! People are trying different things we may not always agree important to keep motivating each other...

I agree - sometimes you can over think these things - many people are here to be supported and if that means giving them a 'high five' every now and again then so be it

I've taken that bit off so it never says one way or the other. My diary is open to friends. I don't think I know more than anyone else on here, but I know that if I consistently eat below my calorie target I'm headachy, cold and feel unwell.

One person when I 1st started was consistently under calories and ate an apple and a coffee for breakfast and lunch and not much else the whole day, she was also burning hundreds of calories. I couldn't find it in myself to say "good job" as I was very worried about her health.

Im not here to say one person is right over another but i feel, this is myself included, that weight loss is a journey. Its not all "cold turkey." ya know? Its hard to change habits you have maybe had for 10, 15,20 years or more and you cant just wake up one morning and say in done with them. It takes time, you didnt learn those bad habits over night and you are not going to lose them over night either. Maybe people are self conscious about themselves and do not want to be judged and just really need support right now? People are people and no two are the same. Maybe they didnt even know it was set to private!(I just found out by reading this post that it was even possible!). I dont know, i guess all i am saying is dont judge a book by its cover until you know the whole story. People are here looking for support from one another at least i am and i would be crushed if someone said something negative because a lot of us are in a fragile and vulnerable state right now ...Love, support, motivation, and encourage You all have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
