This topic AGAIN? *sigh* Look, in a perfect world we would all be nice each other, hold hands and start a love train. However, this is the internet. ANYONE can join and sometimes people like to be mean because it's fun to be mean to strangers. Who cares? It's just a bunch of random people that you don't know in real life.0

Yep..but no worries...we've hijacked the thread with pizza cake....

Some of the comments you might classify as negative are honest responses to complaints about not seeing progress. When the poster claims to be staying at a calorie level and eating pretty clean, when he/she opens a diary, it is full of fast food and many days of going way over. Helpful responders remind the poster that this wont work. I've seen variations of this dozens of times.
Some of us are here for honesty. Empty pats on the back are not actually that helpful.
Right on! Honesty is good. And humor! We need humor! This cr@p is hard enough already, if you can make me laugh, that's a plus. One of my comments got deleted today because I told someone who wanted to eat more veggies to eat a vegan (because they are full of veggies, duh!) And some vegan got offended, so I got deleted. I was being silly, not vicious. Grain of salt, guys, grain of salt. (Now watch someone flip out about sodium intake . . .)
Whatever your road, as long as it's healthy and balanced, we are all here for encouragement, advice, a good laugh, and yes, even a slap in the right direction every once in a while.
Eat a vegan, taken two ways ROFL0 -
Names, we want names.
Pshhhhh I am here for cake and pizza
I am laughing my head off! you guys are too funny!0 -
I actually think a lot of it is that people have a really hard time stringing together coherent sentences or in fact reading sentences properly, what ensues is nothing more than people missing the point.
I've started a few threads where i have basically had to spend pages and PAGES actually trying to get people to read what i actually wrote rather than what they read. It seems to be exceptional difficult for people of this forum, then of course they just add pictures of cats and giggle at how 'funny' they are. Its lame, totally not something i am used to, I find lots of things funny but people laughing at their own rudimentary jokes is not really my bag...
I even had one woman telling me 'i am not surprised your hungry, you dont eat anything' in a conversation where i had neither said i was hungry and had no asked for comments on my food intake, which, as you can probably see from my open diary, is full of actual food lol
its bizarre, it makes me not want to ask stuff because the constant re-affirmation because people cannot read is tiring.0 -

I think you're right.
Though I confess I'm one of the ones who tends to add pictures of cats.. mainly because the thread has usually gone on so long, or has digressed so far I can't take it any longer.

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed just to get it all out, what's in my headI said hey, what's goin' on?0 -
All the negative comments really make me question why I even log in anymore. I want people in my corner telling me I can do it not people telling me I am an idiot for eating a piece of cake.
You should be logging in to log your food and exercise, and socialize with the people you say you want "in your corner".
Stay off the forums if you find them to be negative. Negativity is always going to be there. Take the good with the bad and just focus on achieving your goals....not everyone on here will see it the same way as you do.
Good luck.0 -
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
I don't know, Marvin, I really don't...0 -

Why are you yelling at everyone? I posted that I had ice cream and pizza for dinner, and everyone said "right on" and "yum". I seriously don't get where some of you are coming from. I see more negativity in posts like these than i do in the everyday stuff. I just don't get it. Maybe you're too sensitive. Or, maybe when you log into the Internet you should take off your diapers and put on your big girl pants. I don't know the answer, but try to not be so negative. It's like everyone is having fun at a party and all the sudden some chick starts loudly ranting and raving and everyone is like, "WTF just happened? I thought we were having fun."
Mmm...Pizza
Mmmm...Pizza AND ice cream! Heaven ... only I think there are no calories in heaven. :happy:0 -

I had pizza on Saturday, Four slices. Yum!
And I had cheesecake and caramel chocolate truffles on Monday (almost 1,000 calories worth). And I lost weight this week. :-)0 -
Exactly! I've unfriended so many people just for doing that. And, I try hard not to look at the forums, because they just make me feel awful. I've been attacked way too much just for talking about my struggles! I can't do it.

Maybe I'm just more discerning in who I friend or accept as a friend, but no one on my FL has ever attacked anyone over their struggles.0 -
These forums are really starting to make me sick. There is so much negativity. We are all here for support not to be criticized. As over weight people don't you think we get enough of that as it is. One thing always comes to mind when I read something mean...IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Come on everyone, lets all stop beating each other down and help each other acheive the goals we have all been working towards. All the negative comments really make me question why I even log in anymore. I want people in my corner telling me I can do it not people telling me I am an idiot for eating a piece of cake.
Completely agree! Im pretty sick of being told Im an idiot for not eating carbs! Everyone has their own way of doing it and I have no problem with you eating cake if it works for you :flowerforyou:0 -

I think we should be able to talk about our struggles and get CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM not insults. Maybe I am reading too much into what some people say on here but a lot of it just makes me mad.0 -
