vent time...

I don't understand why you care so much what other people do

Lots of supposedly grown ups around her seem unusually fixated on the lives, practices, and habits of other adults.

It's...odd. It's one thing to discuss, and debate even, but there is an MFP contingent that seems personally affronted by what others choose to, or not to, put in their mouths. It's like they have a personal investment in it, which goes beyond reason.

It's sort of comical. This is really the only forum I've seen where people repeat the same basic statements over and over again, and people of the same ideology jump in the thread to say "great post" and "well said!".

Yes, it's equal parts bizarre and hilarious.

I'm especially amused by the people who seem threatened by, or downright angry at, those who are trying some specific eating regiment, or avoiding trigger foods that might hinder them. The "YOU NEED TO EAT ICE CREAM TO LIVE!!!!" crew always shows up, straight mad at folks for putting the doughnut down or forsaking poptarts. And don't let somebody say they're a "clean" eater, that gets folks panties all bunched up.

Sometimes I wonder if people here are secret shills for various food corporations. It's the only sensible explanation.

Interesting conspiracy/big brother theory. May I make a suggestion of compromise? Everyone remove their panties before coming on line... No more bunches! Problem solved.

Commando Shills.

Sounds like a great Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle co-starring Jenna Jameson.

How the heck am I supposed to sleep with that pic in my mind tonight?

Maybe there was a specific thread... but I noticed yesterday several butt pics that were near-pornographic... I was looking at full on cheeks with a thong riding up the middle and a good view of the thigh gap from the back.

I'm not hyper-sensitive, and I haven't reported anyone (nor would I) but I may delete friends for this. I have 5 kids and I love being on MFP. I don't want to worry about leaving it open in my living room. But everyone is entitled to do what they will.

Abs, legs etc. don't bother me. Nor do normal underwear shots even.

I believe what people are trying to say is that there are no "good' or "bad' foods, just food that you eat and utilize as energy. So why restrict oneself to the point of torture? But hey, if you want to torture yourself with water fasts and the like, more power to you.

IMO it is idiotic to restrict certain foods just because someone says they are "bad"...

This isn't the board to champion fasting. It's a practice I am well educated in and advocate, if used properly, for spiritual, emotional, and physical health. But that's neither here nor there, and I have less than zero desire to convince you of jack.

I agree, there are no inherently "bad" foods, though obviously there are vastly superior foods nutritionally. I take issue with the insensitive people here that don't realize that some people restrict for very good reasons. Those reasons can be sound, and actually help people lose weight, or maintain weight. Not everyone does it the same way you did. Me personally I low carbed for years and it was amazing. I've transitioned into a full pallet of food, but that season helped me break a life long sweets addiction, while eating more vegetables than I ever have in my life. That restriction, for that period in my life, was exactly what I needed to gain control until I got to a stronger place within myself.

People need to do what works for them, not what some stranger tells them should work for them.

I was going to take a few minutes and throw together an actual visual using good ole MS Paint for you, but I think you've been tortured enough.

I admire your restraint

someone else on my FL got reported…WTF …he was told to "crop" his ab picture…good lord..

So "crop" it and move on..

Oh yes, and Ndj1979 I agree with you about the pics. Honestly I think it's more likely seething people who are upset at seeing bodies in better shape than them. This kind of board obviously is going to attract a lot of people who are dealing with self esteem issues, deep insecurities, etc. It's unfortunate that they feel the need to report pics, but all a thread like this is likely to do is make them even more angry.

I would think that it is an ultraconservative elitist who believes we should all be covered head to toe, as opposed to someone with low self-esteem. Or perhaps someone who has felt slighted by the persons being reported and has chosen this as a passive-aggressive attack to 'teach them a lesson'. It is sad, but this is how our world works now.

Or change it to a cat like the other 1/2 of MFP
