Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I confess that I'm feeling really down and depressed today, and I've pretty much decided that I'm not going to eat anything, even though my diary is already fully pre-logged for the day. (I'm one of those people who just don't want to eat when feeling very depressed)

Unrelated but I heard on the radio Monday is National Eat Whatever You Want Day! For those in the US enjoy!

I'm currently living with someone I don't want to spend the rest of my life with and he wants to. He's arrogant and cruel to others. A small part of my motivation to get back in shape is to possibly begin a life with a man I've grown to really care for. A friend who is caring and more like me.

Confession: There is a pattern of jumping all over posters,especially new ones-mocking their posts, questions because they think something is not possible etc. The way they speak to the posters are incredibly rude and alienating. I'm surprised if most of these people ever return to post something or continue with MFP, or logging food after the very "harsh" approach. Then there are the people that just complain that the OP's don't want to hear the truth when in fact it's the negative way people are responding making the OP obviously feel criticized and unsupported. So ya, that's my irritation confession. Makes me never want to ask any questions here.

Here's where this irritates me - there are trolls on this forum. Everyone knows there are trolls on this forum. The trolls flat out admit they are trolls. And even still, people will defend them, and pretend they actually mean well, or act like they've never seen the trolling, as if they've read everything the acct has posted, except for the times they're intentionally trying to start an argument. I'd rather people admit, "yeah, they're a troll, but they make me laugh, so I don't care," rather than act like they have some secret psychic knowledge into the motivations of people who are just "misunderstood."

The funniest troll I can remember is this account who said they weighed 600 pounds & ate like six sticks of butter, two large pizzas, 30-40 slices of cake, & a ton of other stuff that no one in their right mind would be able to eat & the number of people who were taking them seriously was astounding. I took them seriously until I read their food diary & knew it was someone who just put a bunch of random food entries in with multiple servings.

I confess, this thread has made me irrationally angry....or maybe I should eat something.

I saw that this morning and against my better judgment read through the whole thing and understand your reaction.

I confess the thread about how 120 lb women (or whatever) could and should too be losing 2 lbs per week if they weren't weak and lacking the mental discipline to eat at a 1000 calorie deficit while exercising hard is irritating the heck out of me.

I could be taking this personally as it hits my buttons some. ;-)

And that's an example of where the thread has little to do with the actual question the OP asked.

A workout confession from me:

I refuse to go to a public gym because I am severely embarrassed by the massive amounts of fat I carry on my upper arms, and the way it flaps and makes disgusting sounds when I am working out makes me queasy. I don't want to imagine how it would make others feel.
