    I've learned pretty much everyone on here is obsessed with sex, particularly in regards to who on the board they would bang.

    Also, I've learned that sometimes you think someone must be joking when they post... but then you find out they're completely serious. That's frightening.

    would bang

    I learned that everyone is an expert! And I know absolutely nothing about Weight loss and fitness! And what I'm doing will never work.

    I've also learned, it seems, that very few people actually know what trolling (the internet type :P ) is....

    I've learned that many people say they know they can't spot reduce, yet hope someone out there has some magic method "to" spot reduce.

    I've learned that the body detoxes and cleanses itself, but somehow a mixture of maple syrup (grade B), cayenne pepper, lemon juice and not eating anything but that will magically help you lose weight, fix all your bad eating habits, fix your metabolism, and make everything just peachy.

    I've learned that some people, for whatever reason, decided to create multiple accounts just in case one account got closed so they can continue on in the forums. Accounts that they've held onto for up to 2 years.

    Dedication is a virtue. So is patience. And sock-puppeting. I think we can all learn from people like that.

    Because of MFP's forums I have learned that;

    sadly some starve themselves and claim their tummies will explode with a little over 1,000 calories
    unfortunately some people try to put others down when the person is being honest about their food intake
    Most of us do not have an acurate body image (just read the forums).

    Trolling is when you disagree with someone right?

    That the public education system is a large waste of money.

    But the teachers are hot and easy.

    that loosing weight makes you so frisky you have to add loads of "exercise" cals

    If people dont like you and want to make trouble for you they report your posts, and you get handed strikes for things 1000 other people are saying.

    I learned that when your "friends" say "please don't go" and "I will keep in touch", they really mean "once you deactivate, I will forget about you"

    That adults can get just soooo stuffed on less than a thousand calories a day, even as their toddlers blow right past that calorie count.

    That 10/would bang is an acceptable answer to any question.

    And that the internet is not full of rainbows, cute kittens, and unconditional support my dangerous habits. (I cry about that one.)
    This too
