    I am offended at your generalizations and who says we are all here for health or weight loss, who says we are all human. LOL J/K, it has been better lately for sure

    Let's be honest. No one is as hard on us as we are on ourselves looking in the mirror. So, why make it harder on anyone else? Being supportive and constructive makes everyone feel better.

    Completely agree! I know I don't function well when I'm being criticized, so why criticize others? I want to help lift people up to feel better about themselves! So glad to have awesome friends like you, Kalyn, who are helping me on this journey! :)

    I'm not that nice. I'm somewhat of a jerk. People need to face the truth, sugar coating it is what got them here in the first place.

    Erm no. I was told I was fat & to change my ways like everyday by both family, friends and students at school. I didn't get here by being fed lies, probably the opposite.

    I understand where your coming from but for other people they need a swift kick in the butt when they slip up. It was also a metephor, sugar coated.. i.e. covered in sugar.

    Being considerate does not equate to being 'soft' on someone - but being supportive and firm with what needs to happen is also effective. To paraphrase 'A slap to the face - that's insulting. A slap to the back of the head - that's a wake-up call'. Verbally abusing someone isn't necessary, nor is sugar-coating it. I thing the watchword of the day is 'respect'.

    Oh I've had to face a lot of hard realities, trust me. I've just decided that I do not want to die young alone and sad.

    Conversations with yourself are awesome and very telling!

    yeah I hear ya.. I really don't feel I am inconsiderate but trying to make someone accountable and telling them their pizza was a dumb choice often seems to be seen as "a slap to the face" or a personal attack to people around here. I didn't come here to be anyones best friend I want someone to ride my hide and I'm going to ride theirs. This isn't Disneyland. Seems everyone is a little too sensitive.
