MFP Made Me Fat!

For real. Here's what happened...
I joined here in August 2011, weighing in at 215. I am 6' tall, just for reference. I was a size 18. I lost roughly 60lbs, and was down to 150-155, and a size 6/8. All good things.
But, I also made some awesome friends. Friends who taught me to love me whether I was 215 or 155 or somewhere in between. Now, I'm still fighting that battle every day, but I'm getting closer to that place. These friends tell me I look great. They tell me I'm beautiful. Also, I found a boyfriend on MFP. He is freaking amazing. He loves me like crazy and loves they way I look. He, too, tells me I'm beautiful. A lot.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM. I get all thin and hot, and people tell me that too much. Now, I'm complacent. I have stopped working so hard. I've slipped. You'll notice, in my ticker, that it says I've lost 48lbs. That's because I put some back on. I BLAME YOU, MFP. All you "friends" who let me think I'm great the way I am. This is on you. PLEASE, stop this craziness.
We're all here for the same reasons, right? Let's support each other. Let's not tell people they're "10/10 would bang" when they're clearly a 6 at best. Let's stop saying we'll "SMASH" a person you wouldn't give the time of day to in real life. Let's stop the empty compliments and false praise.
This girl right here needs to get her borderline chunky @ss back on track. PLEASE help me on this journey, guys!! (<~~For you, Jerry!)

agree 100%, this damn community of support has boosted my ego so much I've gained too.
I wish you all would be real and tell me I'm not that special snowflake you've made me believe that I am. :sad:0 -

Since I am your height and currently at your starting weight, I say STFU! I'd kill to be your weight now! You look great and my opinion is not going to change.... now matter how much you think it should!0

ok...far too much bikini.
you did ask....0 -
Seriously though, OP, I have spent my entire life not caring what other people thought of me, and I was perfectly happy. Yes, at 300+ lbs, I was perfectly happy. I didn't decide to make a change until I decided that I wasn't happy with my size. The opinions of others are just opinions. What looks great to one person, might not look great to the next. If someone asks for an opinion I am usually honest. If I think my honest opinion might not be well-received then I keep it to myself. So maybe your friends really were being honest with you. Maybe the ones that thought, "hey she's getting chunky", just kept their opinions to themselves.
Either way. The only opinions about you that matter are your own.0 -

I dislike you OP. I would say hate but I fear being reported.0

Uh Katie Dear...you is LAZY! Get your *kitten* UP and do a circuit in record TIME, I expect to see this posted in your log TO-DAY..0

You're not so hot, and you're not fat...hell, I got bigger boobs than you and I'm an old guy!
