A rant about rants about friends!!

i've been seeing a lot of posts ranting and raving, either about people not bieng supported enough, bieng deleted, bieng denied etc. I just don't get it. Yes i'm here for motivation but if a person doesn't do a rah rah cheer everyday through my feed am i going to delete them? NO..

If they eat chocolate and ice cream for breakfast if I peek at their diary am I go to delete them? NO.. (because at one point I was there, I didn't know what to eat, had bad stress, or things were going on above my control, so though I ate badly, I still TRIED, I came and read for motivation, I tracked what i did, I exercised to try and at least maintain through my rough patch, so who am I to judge)!! Maybe what they need is to SEE some good to HELP them get through the patch.

If they don't exercise every single day and get through p90X will I delete them? NO.. Hell!! I can't!!

Do they need to comment on EVERY SINGLE post I make? Scratched my butt today!! burned 3 calories!! *woo hoo* Go girl!!Congratulate me on every 5 day log in, NO!!

What I mean is, speaking and encouraging is fine, when you can, but you should not have some schedule you expect people to live up too, Me, I prefer a person thats real, that understands it's ok to have a bad day, or days, That you don't have to be richard Simmons in disguise, that you don't have to be the fitness guru of MFP. That because you friend Jillian Michaels that channels ghandi in disguise, it doesn't mean all of a sudden you will be fit queen of the month. It's a balance and it also takes TWO.. if you notice someone hasn't spoken in 4 days, ask yourself, have I? Then perhaps say something to them encouraging. Comment on that message that says they haven't logged in for 5 days, You never know if they will see it and be the help they need. Maybe you need to assess what KIND of friend YOU ARE and what it is you NEED and want before judging, belittling, having hurt feelings, sitting on a high horse or running down left field with a banner proclaiming your outrage.

Now I will put down MY banner of outrage and thank lil baby Jesus that I have friends who haven't dumped me, despite I haven't been around for weeks at a time, despite i've not been eating like foo foo bunny, despite I don't comment on their EVERY single post, and that reached out to me when I needed it and are the reason I am STILL here trying my *kitten* off and will most likely in the end suceed, because of friends like them.
