    How many accounts have you had to delete?

    This is pretty much my question . . . and why? I think it's a little crazy considering I've been on here for a year now with the same account and no issues.

    The Diet Police are the worst. The comments that "you're killing yourself", "you'll go into starvation mode" you get the picture. I do what works for me. If it doesn't work for you don't get all high and mighty. If I want an opinion I'll ask for it.

    I'd love to add you too!

    Sometimes I wonder if the person had to say it to someone's face, would they still make the comment. This is how I try to think before I post a comment. I dealt with this first hand working in a big coporate office. A few people would blast rude emails out that really hurt people. I would walk up to their office and ask them to repeat it to me while I was standing there. Of course, they were embarrassed and couldn't do it. I don't think someone should hide behind the internet. Be a nice person to your friends and to strangers. I think there are ways to get your point across without be rude or without sugar-coating.

    Welcome back!

    I agree. I don't understand the need to go onto faceless online forums and be unkind to complete strangers. baffling.

    I think there are some real "know it alls" on the topics section but whereas a few years ago I would have argued the point i just ignore it now and dont use the topic postings as much as i have had on other forum sites.
    I agree with the no meanies lark. Keep the negativity away and things become more positive in your life is my mantra (well one of them). So if someone is a mean, negative person then I dont have them in my life be it the real world or cyberville.

    To the gorgeous lady who said about people saying bad things to her about her weight loss in the "its bad for you" way... Sometimes people are jealous but sometimes there are those of us who care. I have only ever voiced my concerns on here about the lack of calories people say they consume on topic posts if they are miniscule or if the girls look almost emaciated. That is purely because I have been there myself years ago and its only years later that the "rewards" of that are delivered... Missing periods, ballooning weight then yo-yo dieting, ill health and so on. If someone can get out of that rut before they get ill then i hope my words may have helped. Some of us are nice people and not meanies we do just care xx

    Feel free to add me, as long as you drop me a domino's with ALL the trimmings on your next superhero trip ;)

    I like this site for that reason. I haven't come across that yet on here (granted I have been away from here for a LONG time) but when I was on here regularly, I really liked it.

    Umm, that's an interesting way to ask for support - I tend to think that starting expecting "meanies" is only going to attract negativity....
    Anyway, I wish you luck with getting healthier and I hope you fnd a supportive bunch of friends this time around.
