Except you put it out here. If you want to keep it your "beeswax," maybe don't do that next time.
Having someone be so freaked out over a bit of water weight is concerning to me. It screams of all kinds of issues, starting with body dysmorphia.
And there you go again, telling people what to do with their business. Easy on your ego. This post was not meant for you, although it seems like you like to think it is, it's a forum where anyone and everyone can ask, including yourself who happens to have an account here and comment on people 's posts then dictate what we should or shouldn't share
mhmm ok...
You could have easily said it may be water retention. Then maybe I wouldn't feel the need to worry. Just a little bit of insight on what human beings are like, we naturally freak out over things that we can't explain. It's normal. It's even awesome. If you dont do that, then you're the kind of person who'd break an arm and dismiss it as blah and never see a doctor. That's not healthy. However, now that I know that it's water retention; aka an explanation that i can now work on solving, I will not bother your hypersensitive personality with my "miniscule" worries good day!
I agree with quiksylver's original post. Your subsequent posts scream "hypersensitive reaction to being called out on body dysmorphic thinking." There was nothing rude about her post to you. If anything, I saw it as somebody being concerned and looking past the surface level issue that you are focused on. Your initial post does continue a whole lot of woo and I can see where she was coming from. Instead of getting upset about it, you should give her words some serious thought.
Her comment was disrespectful. 2 sentences of judgment and a rude way of speaking, not anything of value that i can use. A concerned person with good intentions would comment with sth respectful, explaining their point of view politely, offering advice "politely". That's the kind of comment I would "think " about and "consider". However what shr said was immature *kitten*. Belongs in sixth grade class.9 -

So i wouldn't go all "wow she's so concerned she gave me so much to think about." I actually felt like the onlu thing I should think about is "what is wrong with this aggressive person? Jeez"3 -

One person up there in the comments simply wrote "water retention" period. See how simple, helpful and awesome that was? And I actually did my research and based some changes on it. Do people have to be rude to get their point across? What value does it give it?2 -

Her comment was disrespectful. What exactly made it disrespectful to you? It was one question and one observation.
2 sentences of judgment and a rude way of speaking I wasn't speaking, I was typing without tone or inflection. How you chose to read into those two sentences, typed out, is on you.
not anything of value that i can use I disagree. Perhaps, you were overthinking and over-reacting to a minor issue and if you did some serious introspection you could find a way to handle issues like this better next time..

You appear to have found the water retention suggestion helpful because you agree with it. Body dysmorphia, on the other hand, has obviously struck a nerve with you. It's a valid concern though.9 -

Dude. I got my answer. The last thing I wanna do is try to reason with someone who doesn't belong anywhere in my life. Again. My life my beeswax. You chose to comment, now deal with the consequences. I can choose to value or devalue any comment I want. Yours was a bunch of useless crap. Some of the others' were helpful. Learn how to speak maturely or if you can't, then don't at all. Piece of cake. Move on.8 -
Definitely body dysmorphia with a little bit of water retention going on14

I have known quiksylver296 long enough to know that her joy in life comes from wearing a shirt to the gym that says "I can deadlift you.", and making it stick for all humans up to 375 pounds.
And since I was actively recovering from bulimia and purging by exercise at your age, I can say that you should research body dystopia and either eat more often or eat more calorie dense food. Your story is familiar and frightening. However, since you have decided that water retention works for you, you probably won't listen to me either.

Asking a question on the interwebs requires some thick skin and preparedness to maybe hear things you don't like. Sometimes you get answers you don't like to hear and sometimes those answers are worth considering. .
Glad you got your answer OP, but something seems to have struck a nerve over a pretty harmless comment. That is what makes people think there is something deeper going on. Sometimes it is okay to just ignore comments that are of no interest to you.3 -

2 sentences of judgment and a rude way of speaking I wasn't speaking, I was typing without tone or inflection. How you chose to read into those two sentences, typed out, is on you.
not anything of value that i can use I disagree. Perhaps, you were overthinking and over-reacting to a minor issue and if you did some serious introspection you could find a way to handle issues like this better next time..
A concerned person with good intentions would comment with sth respectful, explaining their point of view politely, offering advice "politely". That's the kind of comment I would "think " about and "consider". However what shr said was immature *kitten*.Huh. Our definitions of immature *kitten* are obviously different.
Belongs in sixth grade class.
Dude. I got my answer. The last thing I wanna do is try to reason with someone who doesn't belong anywhere in my life. Again. My life my beeswax. You chose to comment, now deal with the consequences. I can choose to value or devalue any comment I want. Yours was a bunch of useless crap. Some of the others' were helpful. Learn how to speak maturely or if you can't, then don't at all. Piece of cake. Move on.

Having someone be so freaked out over a bit of water weight is concerning to me. It screams of all kinds of issues, starting with body dysmorphia.
And there you go again, telling people what to do with their business. Easy on your ego. This post was not meant for you, although it seems like you like to think it is, it's a forum where anyone and everyone can ask, including yourself who happens to have an account here and comment on people 's posts then dictate what we should or shouldn't share mhmm ok...
You could have easily said it may be water retention. Then maybe I wouldn't feel the need to worry. Just a little bit of insight on what human beings are like, we naturally freak out over things that we can't explain. It's normal. It's even awesome. If you dont do that, then you're the kind of person who'd break an arm and dismiss it as blah and never see a doctor. That's not healthy. However, now that I know that it's water retention; aka an explanation that i can now work on solving, I will not bother your hypersensitive personality with my "miniscule" worries good day!
I agree with quiksylver's original post. Your subsequent posts scream "hypersensitive reaction to being called out on body dysmorphic thinking." There was nothing rude about her post to you. If anything, I saw it as somebody being concerned and looking past the surface level issue that you are focused on.

Consequences? Of commenting on an internet thread?
It's been entertaining. Thanks for that.
The pleasure is all mine glad to have brought some joy into your life. You seemed to have needed it. Adios!
I have known quiksylver296 long enough to know that her joy in life comes from wearing a shirt to the gym that says "I can deadlift you.", and making it stick for all humans up to 375 pounds.
And since I was actively recovering from bulimia and purging by exercise at your age, I can say that you should research body dystopia and either eat more often or eat more calorie dense food. Your story is familiar and frightening. However, since you have decided that water retention works for you, you probably won't listen to me either.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »Except you put it out here.

Dear Melissa,
Who this person is does not concern me. I am under zero obligation to respect someone based on their own personal life choices, especially if that person is a stranger. You may have some respect for her based on your own knowledge and experience with her, as for myself, based on the derogatory attitude she's presented, all her personal achievements go down the drain and I don't see her as an inspiration or a person I would look up to no matter who she is or what she does. However, I respect your choice of respecting her. Not my business. Now that I've got this out of the way. Let me move on to what's important.
I have no history of eating disorders, no binging, purging or bulimia. I have been a healthy eater for 5 years, healthy body, healthy habits. I'm not that person who cares about how she looks, hence when I said that jiggly fat is not even visible to people, but considering my diet and my work out routine, and tve fact that it appeared overnight, it raises concerns about my health (not how I look). That is sth I don't take slightly. I'm willing to ask and research all day until I can get the answer that fits my condition best, keeping in mind my work out routine, my history, my eating habits...etc
So no worries about bulimia or eating disorders, I would have worried for myself if that was possible. But thank you for your concerns and I'm glad you overcame your own struggles.
There is nothing wrong with asking or caring about your health. People always assume the worst. Dysmorphia (since I finally researched it) is a disorder related to insecurities about one's body or certain body parts not fitting the beauty standards. Where I come from, the standards of a beautiful girl is to be skinny, no muscle mass, just slim. I, however, am not skinny, though i used to be due to my fast metabolism. It was nlt healthy for me. Now I am trying to gain muscle, get bigger, more active, and healthier. All of which does not fit the beauty standards of my community. So dysmorphia is not a possibility here, since my goal is the opposite of every "perfect and beautiful girl" in my society. My goal is to be healthy and exercise more. The fat that appeared suddenly around my abdominal area was worrying to me because I was afraid that I was overworking myself or not eating enough, which would damage my metabolism.
Anyhow, thank you
I just consulted a personal trainer and it turned out to be soft fat getting blood circulation into it. 7 -
Asking a question on the interwebs requires some thick skin and preparedness to maybe hear things you don't like. Sometimes you get answers you don't like to hear and sometimes those answers are worth considering. .
Glad you got your answer OP, but something seems to have struck a nerve over a pretty harmless comment. That is what makes people think there is something deeper going on. Sometimes it is okay to just ignore comments that are of no interest to you.
I am not very active on social media, and this is probably the first time I enter a forum. I expected a community that is cooperative and respectful, and an atmosphere where I can pose my concerns without any worry while getting good feedback that i can use. But I agree with you 100%. It was just weird lol I was a bit shocked lol sorry, I'm new to this0
