Personally, I think the season has a lot to do with it. Typically, people gain more weight in the winter, the days are shorter, and some people actually suffer from SAD (I forget what that acronym stands for). Also, some of the people out there have made new year's resolutions to quit smoking, and the absence of the chemicals in the cigarettes are causing some of them to vent anger while they detox. It's quite common.

Mostly, I think people feel safe to vent here where they may not elsewhere. Personally, I take it as a compliment. The fact that they feel comfortable enough to share their TRUE feelings in these forums says a lot. And in the end, might help them to stay focused on why they are here.

Just my thoughts.

This site was fairly supportive until the new year. I have stayed away from most of the threads because of it... I am more of a recipe and info sharer.

I'm neither hungry nor cranky.

I read yesterday on yahoo that low carbs leads to depression...

I don't know why people are mean and angry, maybe because we are hungry (THEN EAT!!) and frustrated with our weight. At the same time though, this site is designed for SUPPORT. If someone is negative on my friends list, then I will delete them. I hear enough negative self-talk in my own head without adding someone else's voice to it!

it's because they didn't eat their exercise calories :bigsmile:

It just enrages me that you would say such a thing....:explode:

Is there a dead horse around here that we can beat?

Probably because they are hungry.........or need to get laid. Or both. "Why can't we all just get along?!?!?!"

Just doing my part and bringing it up so the newbs can read it and maybe chill back a few notches. Wipe the sand out of there...******'s to speak.

I've read that in quite a few different places. Especially for women, and especially during TOM.

There got those out of the way.

it certainly makes one hesitant to post for fear of stoning if asking the wrong question!!

the mean people need to remember what its like to be a beginner, an amateur, and that its ok, and have some compassion.

OR how about just ignore the posts about questions that irritate them!!! we're supposed to be a community to help each other.

love the dont sweat the small stuff picture! (and the book)

I've been crabby lately, but I think it's because I'm not getting as much booty as I deserve. Just saying :noway:

I myself like to see the light in everything. Find the beauty that no one else see's.

Oh no you didn't!

I'm just saying what needed to be said. It's called tough love.

Oh no see, you might offend someone then, and that is unacceptable on this site. This is the same reason fun is not allowed. You're better off coddling and spoon feeding them what they want to hear.

Serenity now! Serenity now!

Ha-ha!! Love the Seinfeld reference!

How do you add pics? I have a funny one that would fit this post perfect!!! haha..

I'll explain it to you. It is a pic of a toddler sitting at a piano with his mouth wide open singing. The caption says "Life's too short to walk around angry ~ So be HAPPY and sing it out loud!"

Love it, wish you could see it. :-)

Totally agree I can say that there are things the people on this site know that most of my friends and family don't....

Also, SAD stands for Seasonally Affected Depression. It's a *****.

I love how you worded the OP so people on both sides of the spectrum think you're supporting them. Some of the responses are pretty LOL.
