    First let me start off by saying I am not trying to offend anyone, however, there are several people on these boards that do exactly that. I browse through these boards quite a bit, and find people all the time who are just starting or even been here for a while and are proud of what they have accomplished or proud that they are able to pick a better food option, however some of you don't see it for that. For example I seen a girl who posted her lunch on here and was extremly proud and it was a healthy lunch however bc of her bread choice MANY of you decided to tell her she was wrong instead of telling her what she did right. yes i know most are trying ot help but they way your posts come off it comes off as more like a put down bc "she didnt eat whole wheat bread" maybe she couldnt afford whole wheat bread at 4bucks a loaf or maybe she doesnt like the taste *i dont know about many of you but i dont like something i wont eat it* but instead of telling her that she did a good job on picking veggies over chips you run her in the ground for white bread..and that is just one example, I see people tellingothers that they are not doing well if they don't wear a HRM..well sorry but some people just flat out can't afford one, and instead of telling them that all there efforts were for nothing howabout saying thats a great job and just leave it at that..What happened to if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all... I know that the majority of you are here to help but it just really bothers me when i see some people thinking they are better than others because they "whole organic" foods homemade never from a can and definatley nothing with HFCS or bc they burned the "EXACT" amount of cals with their HRM..we are all here for the same reason, but we are all different so we will obtain those goal differently just keep that in mind. and no im not here ot put down those of you that use HRM *i do* or eat organic whole type foods i think that is great and if that is for you and it is working then i say keep doing it but just odn't bash those that dont. thank you!! and sorry if i offended anyone
    Yep, all of a sudden people choose to "eat healthy" and now anything else that's not part of their personal diet is considered "taboo" if they read someone else has it in their diary. The "health police" irk me the most. How righteous they feel when they can say "that isn't healthy", when health has more to do about genetics than what you eat.

    You are so right! I live on a very tight budget. Healthy is often expensive so we do the best with what we have. I don't know why that is so hard for some people to understand! Heart Monitors, expensive exercise equipment and gym memberships are great for those who can afford them... as for me, I'm happy to be able to buy my daughter back to school clothes and supplies! So I eat a non organic, imperfect diet... so what? I'm not living on sugar or fat... I'm living on what I can afford!

    The other ones are, the exercise androids who rag me, that cleaning house and working in my yard or garden don't really count. Well I have a family and I don't have a lot of time to run out and do a "real work out"... don't put me down for it, it's better than laying on the couch all day watching movies and eating ice cream outta the bucket!!! One of MFP friends puts daily challenges up for us all to do. Granted nothing he challenges us to do cost us any money or anything and they are great challenges. I really appreciate the fact that he takes the time to do this. However, I don't always have time to do them, or they don't work for me, because I injured my back years ago. So I don't often "respond" to them. I saw a while back that he said anyone not responding to his challenges would be removed from his friends. I guess I can see his point... but on the other hand some days I'm doing good just to log my food!

    Thank you for putting a voice to the thoughts so many of us have! Way to Go... kick some rude *kitten*!

    WELL SAID!!

    Every body is different and will respond in different ways to different things, if you are happy with your results and are seeing a difference then so what if you didn't eat Organic dust for Lunch.

    Keep up YOUR hard work and be proud of what you do, screw all the negative wan*ers on here who think they know it all.

    You are fantastic and no one else is like you.

    Usually when someone starts a post with "I am not trying to offend anyone..." usually means that what comes after will offend someone. If it bothers you then you do not have to read anything that anyone posts on the boards. To each their own... What works for one person may not work for another. You shouldn't let it bother you so much. Just focus on the positive!

    I find it strange that some people can start threads or make comments about things that they don't like while at the same time telling other posters to NOT COMMENT ON THREADS THAT THEY DON'T LIKE...ergo the reason for so many threads and comments about not liking threads and comments, lol...uh-oh I did it again!!:noway:

    It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Especially on the internet.

    Agreed, some ppl just take things the wrong way but sometimes there's no other way to take it when someone is just flat out being rude or nasty which is not necessary. I'm sure everyone on each side could lighten up a bit but some are just not willing...I still enjoy lurking though, good way to pass the time.
