There is so much negativity and hatred and lashing out on these forums.

Take a step back and then take a step forward with a positive approach.

I realize that we all get frustrated on a daily basis by people who under eat, over eat, complain, whine, are too skinny, are too fat, etc. Who REALLY wants to hear about that anymore?

For everyone who has ever complained about something on these forums (MYSELF INCLUDED) let's all make the effort right now, in this post, to name something POSITIVE about this forum, this website, these people, etc.

SOMETHING UPLIFTING people!!

take a negative comment you've heard on this site, and put a positive spin on it ...

I will start

Negative comment: People throw around opinions and talk out of their *kitten* about topics they don't know about and/or understand.

POSITIVE OUTLOOK:

There are some VERY knowledgeable people on this forum. People who REALLY know their stuff and who are more than willing to share that with others. I receive AWESOME feedback when I post on the forums and people jump out of the woodwork to answer questions, give advice, and help me through my struggles. I love that people are available to answer my questions and those who are pleasant about the incessant asking of these same questions really put me at ease. Some people may not know as much about nutrition/fitness and may "talk out of their *kitten* per se" BUT, i love that there are people here who use that to educate others and give factual information to prove their case.

your turn.

    Something positive: I met my BEST FRIEND on this website! Now, we had a bit of a falling out, and we're not talking right now, but that doesn't mean I don't love her any less.

    I've also made an amazing new friend on here as well, one that made my Saturday at the fair awesome, even though we both got sick. :D (Ziaki)

    I've met some people on here I couldn't imagine doing without, even if I've never met them in person! (cjjones007, Tamstar1985, dorybaby, JEK717, dreamlittledarling) just to list a few.

    I've also lost nearly 30 pounds now, in just a little over two months!

    I couldn't imagine my life without this website.

    Very well said. I've fallen off the wagon a bit but just by logging on to MFP I gain motivation to get back to it :smile:
