    Wow someone needed to throw themselves a epic size pity party today!!! 2 threads! Impressive. You're poor attitude is what is causing you to fail. That and the fact you can not accept accountability for your own actions. Your fate is in your hands...make a change or forever whine whine whine!

    Mean is reality. Motivation is BS.

    ^^^This is BS. We're here to motivate each other, not to tear each other to pieces. If you think "mean is reality", I feel very sorry for you. Sad sad sad.

    the only way to motivate me is usually to tear me to pieces.

    Back to you.

    You can eat cheap and stay within calories I do it all the time. McDouble from McDonalds $2 Taco Bell meal deals, etc. Replace fries with a side salad for no extra charge. Look up cals and macros for all the cheap foods and keep a list in your purse and have a plan of action if you are unable to say no. Also if your calories are under 1,500 it will not hurt you to go over on those days. Does he keep you prisoner? Are not able to go for a walk/jog or to the gym without him for less than an hour a day?

    Well, I kind of cringe when I see someone post who is obviously new to the internets and who lacks a sarcasm/snark detector, and they get a bunch of smart-*kitten* replies. You just....feel a bit bad for them. :laugh:

    Stop sitting there doing nothing while I slam these big macs down my McEatHole. Aren't ANY of you going to stop me? I thought this was the Motivation and Support thread.

    And I don't mean to be an internet hater in any way possible, but there are only two responses to the OP's original problem, Stab the unsupportive boyfriend & his mother (or just move out), or live with it and find the courage to say no more often.

    Outside the confines of those two basic forms of advice, there is nothing the internet can do to help her out, other than tell her that she has it within her to strive for excellence, to reach for achievement, to try and be better each day - and crying and grumbling get us no closer to those goals. We all need help at times, but in the end, WE have to lift the weights, WE have to set the forks down, WE have to be the one who achieves, and no one can do it for us.



    You got that right... And sounds like you have a great attitude, Chris:flowerforyou:

    your very niave for posting this rant. you posted another thread asking for others input... they gave it to you. if the truth hurts, so be it... dont ask if you dont want to hear. you were blaming everyone but yourself for eating bad and not shedding the weight... everyone was telling you that only you can make changes, and only you are responsibly for the food choices you make. if your looking for everyone here, to fluff up the truth and sprinkle it with soft pink sparkle dust to make you feel better, you came to the wrong place. not all motivation is what YOU want to hear. your making excuses for yourself, and asking others for thier opinion... well you got it. the majority of people giving you advice have been working long and hard, fighting temptation, turning down "the good stuff" and making choices between healthy food and crap food for a long time, and seeing the results... so when you ask their opinion... they are going to give it to you straight... this is an adult forum, if your gona get your feelings hurt from the truth that you asked for, you might want to take your rants to a myspace message board...

    if your looking for everyone here, to fluff up the truth and sprinkle it with soft pink sparkle dust to make you feel better, you came to the wrong place.

    Dude..don't tell people about the pink sparkle dust! Now everyone is going to want the pink sparkle dust. It's bad enough with the fluff..but not the sparkle dust..Nuuuuuuuuu

    I dunno. If I tell you the truth that ONLY YOU can stop stuffing your face and it is your choices that led you to McDonalds....you might get all mad and say I'm being negative. And then I'll be labeled a big meany or/and a troll. Hahahaha

    Fortunately I have not had the same experience with new friends... maybe you could just get support through friends:smile::wink:
    And good for you for speaking your mind...

    What I find lame is confusing disagreement with ñegativity or meanness. If you're saying something either incorrect or against common wisdom...you can expect yo be disagreed with. That doesn't make what is being said mean. There is no rule here that we all must agree. I will grant that sometimes things could be stated more diplomatically ...but not agreeing is not the same as nastiness.

    This is pretty much why I don't post topics. I'll comment, but that's it. I get what the OP is saying; and I also understand the contrary viewpoints.

    I think there's a balance; no, we don't have to be rainbows, glitter and sunshine to motivate one another, but there is a difference between being blunt and being rude.

    Candid: "Don't blame others for your predicament; you're a grown woman, you have to want to do it. No one else can want it for you."

    Rude: Guess what? It's your own fault! They're not trying to lose the weight, you are"

    Both are correct, but which one is helpful, and which one is not? I think that's what the OP is trying to get across.

    Aw, OP... I feel for you. Although you're kind of gettin riped on this one - I agree with your original point. The forums do tend to get kinda negative and bashy. You end up getting to the point that you don't read the responses - cuz they come down on ppl pretty hard.

    I love the .gifs, though :).

    My suggestion would be to get a nice set of friends in your list - and do the majority of your interacting with them. There are a lot of people on here that are actually very thoughtfull, encouraging, and intelligent....

    Best of luck :)

    Precisely. Telling someone to put on their big girl panties is not the same as insulting them. Sometimes motivation means telling someone to suck it up. I can't imagine my trainer saying, "Oh, I'm sorry you're sweaty and out of breath. You can go ahead, put down the weights, and go have a cupcake." Please. :huh:
