    well put my MF pal.....oops was I just commending you on something you said....how dare me?? I hope it wasn't too "irrevelant" to this discussion....LOL.......

    As for the lady who posted the original comment...that's awesome you are at your goal weight....but maybe you need to dig deep and not take every word to heart all the time......or get offended so easily.....did you need some encouragement on that?....

    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.
    *makes note not to be your friend*

    I just love the people on here who post their frustrations, receive kind words and then act all annoyed and angry about it.

    This is why I only post on the threads that I know will get me junk pics in my inbox. And possibly banged.

    But don't you know? She's at her goal weight. She's been at her goal weight for a long time. She has already done it. C'mon - people should just KNOW that!

    This goes to show you absolutely CANNOT please people. OP, unless you are specifically saying in your posts that you are in maintenance, you are assuming people are either mind readers or HANGING on your every word. I am pretty sure neither is the case. Wow.

    I learned a long time ago that I am not the center of everyone else's universe. It was shocking, but life's less frustrating since I learned it.

    Why are even making status updates about missing the gym or having "food accidents" , if you say you're at goal so those things don't even matter to you anymore? Maybe those people are trying to support you in MAINTAINING the weight loss..

    sometimes I think people just like to complain about nothing around here.

    oh and btw, WTG!!!

    Well now I'm just frustrated that she's at her goal weight. I guess she doesn't need support any more, off to defriend.

    Yeah, I was also wondering why post it, if you're already at goal and don't want responses? Obviously you have a goal (of maintenance).

    I also just realized you have a large friend list, of course they aren't all going to "know" you.

    Yes, I noticed the size of the FL also. That is what happens when one bulks up their FL with random people and don't take the time to get to know them. I say all her friends should dump her and move on to people that appreciate the kind words. But wait her friends don't know that she does not appreciate them, she didn't say this to THEM, she came here and just complained.

    Geez, everyone in this thread is so mean. I agree with the OP, it's so frustrating when people try to be nice and end up a little misguided. I mean, how dare they only take 5 seconds out of their day to say some kind words, when really they should be taking 10, 15, maybe even 20. If they cared, they would ask for my life story before they even asked how I was in the morning. I mean, what if I'm having a horrible day? what if my budgie died? and there they are, all smarmy and well meaning asking how I am.

    You don't need people to tell you you can do it, OP! you've done it! you're already WAY better than them.

    We should be friends. You send me a friend request and I'll send you a 400 page biography of my life so you never make comments on my posts that aren't 100% based on accurate facts about my life. We'll be BFFs in no time.

    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

    edited for punctuation

    Irrelevant comments are my favorite.

  • 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.

    *golfclap* :D

    Also, this is what I think of as an eating accident:

    THIS! and if your settings are just right...everyone in your friends list saw this post, and problem solved, you won't have anyone offering friendly words of encouragement anymore. I really don't think it matters if you are at goal or not!! If you posted you had a slip up then the natural supportive reaction would be to give you words of encouragement! I'm glad I'm not one of those people you are so ungrateful to!

    Listen OP, I know where you're coming from.

    I was in one of those relationships too and HE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU! Drop that zero and get yourself a hero!!

    You are beautiful, no matter what they say. Words can't bring you down.

    If you want to skype this out or something I'm there for you. I can put on a movie in the background and we can do like a long distance thing.

    No! not a date, just want to console you, get you to just loosen up and let your guard down. Don't judge all men by him.

    Great burn btw.

    Oh, what was I thinking? Thank you so much! I really should think more before I post.
