Jerk Repellent

i've noticed in these forums that people actually get picked on for being overweight. i thought this was something that only happened to people as kids but apparently not. i am amazed at the number of threads i've read of adults being picked on by other adults!

i jus wanted to drop this site for anyone who feels like society is weighing them down whether it be because of weight, your looks, your job, anything. its a site i've been reading before i came to MFP and it's helped me tremendously because it made me put things in perspective that it really doesn't matter what people think! i often said to myself, i dont care what people think, but then i would get upset when someone told me something and then drag it around with me all day. but after reading this site, i REALLY dont care what ppl think and i don't carry the extra baggage with me anymore. hope this helps.

Awesome!

Yeah, the website doesn't like when you talk about Emily ****inson, or Charles ****ins, or ****'s Sporting Goods, or spotted ****. I expect that it will also object if we talk about the brass section of a band, but I am not sure about that.

This site is supposed to be for support no matter what part of the journey we are all on. I can't believe that there would be people on here who would go to that level! Ugh. We are all here for the same reason. Those that do that need to find another place to hang out! Bannish all jerks from MFP!

I am not one that pokes fun at big people. I am not sure who does, but it is wrong. If you read my comments, there are a couple where I am BLUNTLY honest. I am 5'8", 215. By NIH standards, I am overweight by somewhere around 45-55 lbs. I dont think I will ever see 150, as by the time I have lost all the fat (and the gut), I will have muscle mass. through my short lived years, I have figured out most people (including me) learn better and get motivated by direct honesty.

It is pretty low if the big people get insulted, but I just tell it like it is, or call it like I see it. I will not resort to insults or euphamisms, it is demoralizing. But people come on here to lose weight, not get complimented on their un-success. Lose a few pounds, and you should be encouraged. But if you have done nothing, the encouragement is moot.

I give tough criticism, because I want it in return. I have never had someone tellin me I need to work out, until now. I am telling myself. and am bolstering my confidence. This website works great, and I get a lot of AWESOME ideas on here. It is great. I do wish there were more people around me in my area though. Still searching...
