I have found a lot of different points of view on MFP. While I do not agree with all of them, I appreciate that there are people reaching out to me.
Please don't let the few bullies get in the way of your success.0 -
Happy to help anyone out if interested

Its not bullies. Its not the meek. It aint effing sharks. Its humans. All of us. Some just aren't pulling their 'weight'.
Iunno, generally human vs. shark situations end really, really badly for the human.
Just sayin'.
Humans have posable thumbs. Put a shark up against a man with his tools, guns/harpoons/the boat engine/etc... then give the shark a gun and a harpoon and a boat too - then see who wins

my boss just brought me a bowl of homemade guacamole and cucumber slices to dip in it...
its awesome.
btw question - If youre here to be around people with similar struggles as you, then you can understand that the people that are here because they like to lift four hours a week and drink protein shakes and watch their macros and bond over weights.... are also here to spend time around like minded people. And the same for the vegans. And the same for the ones that start and quit every day. All of them come here and debate situations in order to recognise the people that are like-minded to THEM.
You cant jump in and say - no more socializing anyway but MY way- nicely. not all people are encouraged or motivated by nice. Im sorry
thats just a fact.
Problem is, there is only one MFP.
This isnt a zoo... where the herbivores are separated from the carnivores and the prey have a petting zoo and the predators are behind glass and the weak are spoonfed the same as the strong. No... MFP is just like the real world. A nature preserve. We're all fenced in here together, just like out there on earth. If you whine or youre lazy or you cant keep up... then they'll attack. But if you just do your own thing instead of complaining about the natural order, and just keep bettering yourself... then you'll be a strong force to be reckoned with yourself.
Just dont forget who the dominant species on this planet is.

ps: bul·ly [bool-ee] noun, plural bul·lies, verb, bul·lied, bul·ly·ing, adjective, interjection
noun
1.
a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.
.... dont be smaller or weaker Be strong and say NO thank you for the info but ive already given your way a fair trial and my body didnt respond as well as it did for you- so Im still trying other things
Otherwise, its just as irritating as all those people that btch and whine and moan about not having any success... but they still wont even TRY anything that someone else suggests. Just on principle!
shakes head
so many people, determined to fail just because they dont like someone's tone of font.0 -

While I agree that there are some people here who think "it's my way or the highway", many are very helpful.
It's the webernet and people will post what they are thinking without caring how it's coming across to others.
Gotta thicken up the skin, and let it roll off - ignore people who come across as bullies.
You know what works for you and you should keep doing that :floweforyou:

(This happened about a couple months ago)
I had that issue once when I was unable to get my license, I relied on my step-dad to get me something healthy, and he comes back with pizza hut, and due to not having anything to make at home, I had no choice but to eat it, and when I posted that story here, I had a few people bash me saying the other option was just as bad, and that I made the choice to eat it and it wasn't in a friendly way. I felt as though they way they replied was intimidating and that they were better all because they lost a lot more weight than me. I really felt as though just because you lose a lot of weight and became a toned machine, you let it go to your head and you just bash others who aren't there yet... 0 -
I agree with you, unfortunately, bullies seem to be inevitable on message boards. When I worked for the Disney Internet Portal, half our time was trying to deal with bullies, and it was hopeless. I just try not to give them any energy. :drinker:0

agreed but everyone has their own opinion. if i post something and people disagree and try to tell me otherwise, oh well. you cant change people0

Totally borrowing snapshot of a buddy of mine on Fitocracy, hopefully he won't hunt me down and eat me. If any of you are on Fitocracy, totally look up bearsharktopus, the "beast" is a hoot!

"Feeling" that someone thinks they are better than you just because they lost their weight already, isnt something they are doing to you. it is a perspective you are intentionally burdening them with.
People always accuse those who went from fit to fat to fit again/or just fat to fit- of forgetting what its like to be fat, of forgetting how hard it is, of becoming skinny *****es-
but the truth is, if we dont allow ourselves to be disgusted and angered by our past behavior and feel those sharp lessons we learned the hard way...
there is the chance we could allow it to creep back into our lives.
So when we see that toxic, damaging behavior being indulged in by others... we scoff and retreat asap. Hearing those comments about using any excuse not to try.... I just feel like Im allergic to their poisonous thinking.
Going to hell, but i'll be healthy enough to go down fighting.0 -
A very wise man once said, "These forums are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get!" (lol) So take everything in stride because for every rude comment or pushy post, there are those who think positively of what you have to say.0
