Thank you for your irrelevant words of encouragement

in Motivation and Support
Every now and then I'll post a frustration with an eating accident, missed trip to the gym, etc. and without fail, get some replies telling me not to give up, saying that I can do this, offering me support on my weight loss journey . . . from well meaning people with poor attention to detail.

I'm at my goal weight. I have been at my goal weight for a long time. I have already done it.

Thank you though, I guess.

    Lol. If your posting it as appoint of frustration, what do you expect? That's kind of what this site is all about, supporting people, isn't it?

    I don't want to giggle, because I do agreee, that it is a bit disapointing when you realise people are not actually bothering to read your post... you just worded it so funnily!

    You can do it!
    You will get there!
    Don't stop trying!


    now, what were you talking about? ;-)

    If you don't want support, you're in the wrong place.

    They had an understandable misunderstanding about your goals. If you tell them directly, they will know and understand for future. That's how these things usually work.

    I've seen numerous posts about it all being about encouragement and support, and now one about irrelevant encouragement and support.

    You can not please all people.

    Where are you posting this frustration? If it's on the boards, then I guess you're expecting people to remember you're at goal from one of your 233 previous posts. If these frustrations are vented in your profile, then I guess some of those 223 people haven't really gotten to know you. Shocking.

    I have to say I admire you; in real life, people must be hanging on your every word. There's no other explanation for your expectations here.

    What would you consider the appropriate response to your "frustration post"? I'm at a loss. But since we're not friends, I'm off to make irrelevant comments to my real friends! LOL
