This post is probably going to make a good majority of you angry.
But you know what...I DON'T CARE.
I am angry and need to get this out.
The name of this particular branch of the message boards is "MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT"
And I for one, see very little of that on here...
What I have seen in almost every post I have read is A LOT of tearing people down and people being a-holes to random strangers who are looking for, guess what, motivation and support on their particular weight loss journey...
I don't care who you are and what your story is....but this is supposed to be a POSITIVE place...
And I personally think that if you don't have anything nice to say, get the eff of the message boards...
Because I am not going to tolerate being torn down because you feel bad about yourself and feel the need to be a jerk to make yourself feel better...
Have a nice day...and happy weight loss!

not disagreeing at all. In fact i think you nailed it right on the head. But who says motivation needs to be drawn from positive reinforcement? I know that for me, that greatest motivation I have is the people who were trying to be negative and place limitations on me. Just a perspective.0

Motivate people by making the majority of them angry?
ps. This thread should be under Fun and games/ angry rants0 -

you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar...
Negative reinforcement is really detrimental... I would even go as far as to say some of the stuff I have seen on here could be considered bullying....and I do not tolerate bullies at all...
No one can limit you, but yourself...and being mean is not a solution to anything...0 -

LOL...I love that pic!!
No, the thread is right where it needs to be...
Sometimes tough love is the hardest to take...and yes, it may make people angry, but it needed to be said...0 -
That is your opinion. I respect that. Now please respect mine. Mean is reality. Motivation is BS. If people are discouraged by people typing characters into a keyboard then they were not fully committed in the first place.0

Motivation is far from BS. That being said, I will not support stupid and destructive actions.That is your opinion. I respect that. Now please respect mine. Mean is reality. Motivation is BS.

I don't care if it's been said a million times over...
But I suppose hateful people are always going to be hateful people...free will and all that jazz right?
Still...it's lame...and I don't think it's right...:D0 -

As always it starts with a post by the OP that went wrong. Here is that post:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/820117-no-support-from-family-or-boyfriend
No support at home, needs the forums to be nice to her.0 -

Yes I do.0 -
I think the main problem is people come up with a plan that is a complete waste of time and money, then want support for this plan. The caring people on the forum try to steer the newcomer in the right direction. An argument ensues.0

I have no shame for what I posted...and no, I don't need the forums to be nice...because honestly, the world is not a nice place...I just think it's lame that people have no respect for other anymore....and that people feel the need to be mean...
But that's what I get for being a dreamer and believing that people should treat people how they would like to be treated...
I really don't care what any of you think of me...you are nothing to me...and this will all be forgotten tomorrow...
But lolz...this is the internets...and people are jerks on the internets...
*rolls eyes*
My gods...do you honestly think linking to my previous thread is going to prove something?0 -
Yeah. Lame. All of it.0

She's more like my personal comedian. She dances and performs for my amusement, as opposed to performing for the amusement of everyone. She's very good. I just bought her new shoes. They are a tap shoes. Would you like me to make her tap for you?0 -
Gee... that was sooo NEGATIVE...
I stopped caring about three seconds ago..0 -

No. I was pointing out a cycle.
In every instance that someone starts a 'the forums are mean' post, there is a forum post by the OP in which they did not get the support they thought they might get. You started a thread saying you have no support at home and your MiL makes you eat unhealthy by always suggesting you go through a drive-through.
Forum members pointed out, that you do not have to eat that food and that your MiL is not force feeding you the food.
Clearly that was not the answer you where expecting.
So now, to close the cycle you make a thread saying everyone is mean. And then get angry when people comment.0
