Just a Quick Vent

So I've been on here since June and been mildly successful losing some weight. Got myself about 13 friends that were a good bunch of motivators. I went on vacation this month and posted on my profile that I would be gone. Came back today after my 3 weeks holidays only to find that 5 of my "friends" quit me because I wasn't online while I was on vacation. Um, yea, I was camping and no where near the interweb. So, thanks to those 5 people who quit for showing their true colors, thanks go out especially to the other 8 that stuck around while I went on holiday. Sheesh... some people's kids. : D

    Think of yourself as well rid of them. They obviously didn't pay any mind to your post about being away from the interwebz.

    Lol. Overreacting a little? They're internet message board contacts that you friended in June, not lifelong friends that deserted you in a time of need.

    Venting is allowed! It doesn't sound like a heartbroken message just expressing disappointment in a few jerks. I think most of the people here appreciate the motivation and support that we get from this online community. I would feel bad if put in the same situation! So I say call me out for being jerks and move on to new and better friends!!!

    Feel free to add me, happy to encourage when I can!:drinker:

    Some people on MFP are snobs about that sort of thing... so don't take it personally and simply add more friends.

    Some people are really picky about that stuff; I'm not sure why. I delete folks doing unhealthy stuff (ED, etc.) that I just can't support (and don't need the stress), people trying to sell stuff (lots of shakeology reps on here!) and drama queens. Feel free to add me if you're none of the above. :)

    LOL. Yes venting is aloud but I have to say I agree.^ If your only self worth and motivation is from strangers...you are in trouble. Who cares make more friends:) Not me though...if you skip a day I will drop you...lol JK

    Reply to jfanent:
    I'm not crying myself to sleep about it or anything... not even mad really. Just more shocked that a website where people join to lose weight and be healthy and support one another would "abandon ship" because someone goes on a vacation. Like the topic title said, just a quick vent.
    Thanks for your input though.

    Reply to everyone else:
    Thanks for "allowing" someone the opportunity to vent. LOL. And thanks for those of you showing your support and sending a friend add. How awesome!!
