    Wait a minute - I didn't get to vote for Rant of the Day. What were the other contenders?

    Seriously, delete them. I keep my diary closed because I don't feel I need help with my diet, but the friends I have here would support me, should I ever go off the deep end and open that sucker up.

    I don't log my drinking for this very reason.
    But **** it... I'm going to start doing it now!

    Tell them you live your life not just talk about living a life! Then DELETE THEM!

    and I'll cyber high five you for it! I hate logging my drinks because they add up so quickly buy heh I do it anyway (What my diary SAYS won't change the facts). I'm sure I'll be having a couple of beers on the Nautical Mile tomorrow :)

    If I happen to have an unexpected night out with friends, drink a tad over my calories, and log it, I do not need snarky comments from other people about it. It just makes me want to close my diary. That is my rant.


    If you were on my friend's list, I would delete you. The last thing I need is to be bothered with people who asked to be friends or who I thought was mature enough to be a friend. In fact, I have very few friends on here and the ones I have take me to task if they see a splurge, all I do is explain that I was having a me day and tomorrow I will be back on track.

    That shiz calls for joyful deletion with extreme prejudice. Life's too short.

    People say things on the Internet, and especially on bulletin boards, that, if they said them in person, would most likely end up getting them murdered or, at the very least, getting the good news by way of a beating. It's the perils of bodiless communications, where there is little, if any, accountability.

    Let them know that's not what you need from your friends list. Some people do want their friends to call them out on any little slip in their food or exercise program. If you're not compatible, DELETED!

    I agree

    I did close my diary over a similar issue. Honestly I don't need help at the moment anyways, so I will leave it closed until the time comes that I might want some advice.

    I'm sorry to hear that. I don't mind friendly advice or tips because that's why I have an open diary but there will be a Friday or weekend now and then that is going to show me out drinking and very little intake of food so hopefully some will understand that it's my way of unwinding after a long week at work or just wanting to have a good time! Have fun:happy:

    Life is definitely too short and I think it's hard to keep positive if you are surrounded by negative people:smile:

    Is today the day we air grievances on the forums of those fellow MFPers we have issues with?

    Who DOES that?! I would never dream of giving someone s*** over what they ate/drank! If someone did that to me, I'd laugh and say see ya later <delete>. Good on you for being honest in your diary. I'm usually honest but once in a while I skip logging. For example I went out last weekend and partied like I NEVER get to do and just drank and ate a bunch (but danced my butt off) and didn't bother logging. It's called enjoying life once in a while!

    What I want to know is how you went out with friends for a night of hedonism :drinker: and went over by only a mere 87 (or was that 89?) calories!?!?! What were you drinking? LITE BEER??? My hat is off to you!

    And yes, I've noticed way too many in these forums with shoulder chips where their heads should be. Someone is constantly having to apologize over the tiniest social faux pas.

    I just went to peak at your diary for last night....you were over 87 calories. 87 calories. I was over by more than 200 last night just because with no alcohol involved. I can't really use the language I find appropriate for this on the forums. Delete them. The stupid thing is called a goal because you're supposed to reach it not be unde,r so you went over by 87! calories. Big flying deal.

    This. You were honest and logged your splurges. That's a win in my book.

    Yep. And find some better friends that can be supportive. Looks like lots of possibilities here! ;)

    I had my diary closed because I was afraid of this very thing. But then I decided I would open it and if anyone made an untword comment then yeah they'd get the boot. So far I've no issues.

    I'm sorry you've had some. 87 cals. Psshawww.

    Live and let drink! :drinker:

    That would piss me off too!

    I would probably comment like "It's all about balance. Love being with my friends and enjoying nights like that because I don't do it everyday".
