I did not come up with the theory, that's kind of the point. From your misguided response you clearly haven't read ALL of my comments to make the statement that none make sense. I am not your teacher and not, for the last time, here to argue a case. However, I will lay it out for those who haven't commented but may be…

If anyone actually wants to discuss HAES or anything productive from my original post, please add me. I am quite evidently wasting my time battling useless arguments here. Your opinions are your own, but I'm not here to persuade you or defend myself. I'm here to talk about my personal interest in the topic. If you disagree…

I congratulate your improved health, and it is an unfortunate side effect of aging that the body just will not do what it once did is it not? I am feeling this myself. You are, however, speaking from personal experience as I am. In my opinion diets do not work, and that is based on my experience. Also I might add that you…

@ninerbuff can you please post the names of these medical journals? Can you also tell me where those percentages came from? Can you name me disease that specifically ONLY affects people that fall outside of these parameters? Can you tell me how the average individual measures bfp? Can you name the research that speaks to…

See my previous note on research. It's a mistake from my POV to base everything on the medical research currently available. Do you think we know everything already? In any case I am not interested in the GROUPS section or I would be there, thank you for your suggestion. I was of the impression that this was a COMMUNITY…

Before anyone makes another argument against the above, please note there is a difference between medical journals, correlation, and causation research. Not all research is equal, therefore it is up to each individual to check out what's available for themselves.

@ninerbuff Very true, there are no medical journals supporting that because the research has not been done. I am more interested in the psychological aspect of restriction in any case, and long term assessment of what this does to the body, as opposed to meeting a specific size/weight requirement. I'd be interested to know…

@seska422 You're right. It is. For me. I have not said at any point that anyone has to do what I say, follow HAES (which in fact research does back), or be/do anything in particular. Honestly this is exacerbating. The whole point of my post was to express a personal opinion and to offer support to like minded individuals…

@seska422 I absolutely love your point! "You do you" is such a open and free statement, and you raise a very good argument about HAES. I suppose since I don't work for the movement I more enjoy the idea behind it as a way of life. I might add that we are not all here to manage weight hence raising the question. I can only…

@nutmegoreo I couldn't agree more, you do not have to love your body. You do not have to do anything. Self love and self care is, in my understanding a deeper level of compassion for ones self as a being in a body as opposed to the physical body itself. Your opinion about health at every size is very much your right.…

@arrghmatey1 I am not sure that having an opinion and raising a question about an industry is trolling? Parhaps I am wrong but I was under the impression that trolling is a negative thing and yet my entire point is about self love and self care. Is this negative? In any case I disagree with your point that people don't do…

@DebLaBounty You pose an interesting response, and it seems that your perspective is fuelled by wanting to be able to move your body in a way that feels good to you. There is no right or wrong and I am certainly not judging anyone or their choices, that is simply none of my business. The question is more directly aimed at…

I am one and I am here in answer to your question; if I am the only one then so be it but given the thousands of members I think it unlikely.

Hi Sara! Thank you, I hope it'll stick this time around.

Add me too :smile:

Your schedule sounds far busier than mine, but any support is welcome! I've added you :smile:
