    Truth. Mom geared forums are the WORST. But once you filter out the crazies you can find some nice people....I would probably bury myself under my son's dirty laundry pile if people only ever spewed rainbows and unicorns up my butt.

    Seriously - this place motivates, educates, and makes me have to clasp both hands over my mouth as I stifle sounds of laughter so that my co-workers don't think I'm completely crazy.

    I'm a college student. Any other weight-related site, particularly for my age group, was negative and not a good mentality to be around. Few ever ate above 1000 calories, developed binging-purging habits, encouraged unhealthy thinspiration, etc. Then I found myfitnesspal, where everyone beats you over the head with BE HEALTHY, which was why I was losing weight to begin with. : )

    I think the so-called "sarcastic*" people are among the nicest people, genuinely, that I've ever met.

    I've been on Mom-based forums (for a childhood autoimmune diseases, you knave) which are the polar opposite: nice on the surface, with a deep river of passive-aggressive hate running underneath. Every once in a while the fake-niceness fails to cap the river and volcano of hate erupts, taking out everyone.

    So pick. You either let off a little steam with some crankiness here and there, or bottle it up until it explodes.

    I prefer the former.

    (* maybe it's just me. I don't see it as sarcasm, sarcasm to me is mean-spirited and meant to cut someone down. I see people who love verbal irony, and goofing around.)

    Oh **** I just posted something non-ironic

    Amazing pug gifs aside..

    This really is the nicest forum I've ever been on. There are SO much worse out there! Go on a forum for new mothers, they'll cut you to shreds as soon as look at you.

    I've heard horror stories about forums for mothers. The nicest forum I've been on was one for pets. I guess pet owners are naturally nicer than new mothers, or people on diets.
