OH BOY DID I SCREW UP!!!!!

I don't post very much, but I am simply stunned by YOUR post and felt compelled to reply. If you don't lighten up, you will end up a very lonely person. I do not dump either -- wish I did, but OH WELL... AND I am a very sensitive person, but I can't even FATHOM how you took Lisa's post personally or allowed it to upset you. I don't know Lisa, I don't know you. So I am an objective bystander. CHILL OUT!!!

oH WELL i was pokeing fun at "ME" here no one else sorry should i have offended anyone but this was in fun of the ocasion of APRIL fools day and i saw no harm. LISA

WELL all maybe ill jsut leave the board for hurting feelings. THE ONLY ONE I POKED FUN about was me here...I battle the same things daily.....do i dump i dont know i never tested the waters. BUT i see i dont fit in here bye was great knowing you guys. MAYBE APRIL fools day is not a day of silly practical jokes and fun for most but my day was filled with sillies. bye

Lisa, HUN please do not leave over someone getting offened with the joke that you posted! Most of us thought is was funny after we read the line so please, you are very important to these boards and would be missed!!! We are ALL in this journey together and if we can not laugh at ourselves at times then it is very sad! This is NOT an easy journey and sometimes calls for a sense of humor. I know YOU for one take this very seriuosly and this was just for fun. We all know that many have issues with the sugar thing and we ALL work hard to beat it but some are just more sensative then others, we all can express our voice here and please do not let that make you leave! We ALL love you way to much for that!!!! Debra P

Lisa, You know that you cant leave us. We would miss you too much. Who would I whine to about my daycare and how hard it is to be passing out snacks all day and not eat them. We love you and you are a huge part of the june board. That lady posted that reply to my message, I got it in my email this morning and I thought Oh well, you cant please everyone. She is probably just having a bad PMS day. Dont let it get to you. Happy 10 month anniversery this last weekend. Mine is friday. Can you believe it has been 10 months. Who would have thought that 10 months ago that you would be in a size 8 and I would be wearing a 12. And the ironic part is that I am still not happy I want to lose more. A year ago I would have been deliriously happy to be where I am today. Dont get me wrong I am thrilled but I find it ironic that I feel so driven to get this last 20 lbs off. Well I guess we just always want more. I do think that I will be satified when I get into the 150's but we will see. Maybe then I will want the 130's. Anyway sorry for the ramblings. Lisa,YOU are loved and admired here so dont let it get to you or we will all have to find out where you live and come kidnap you till you agree not to leave us...... Have a great day Lynn

OMG...Lisa, please don't leave. When I first read it (before the April Fools thing) I was ready to send you a big hug and tell you it would be okay, but was relieved it was a joke. I too, think this is one of our biggest fears, but was I offended or upset by this joke, no way! Please don't feel like you have to leave this board. We love and support you and we need you as much as you need us. At least email me so we can stay in touch. Love, Debra

LISA you are one of the most supportive people i have met on these boards. If people cant take a joke then OH WELL....It was freaking April fools...LIGHTEN UP! YOu better not go anywhere..... LisaMarie

Lisa, Happy birthday sweetheart! You know how much we love you!! You truly one of the most sweetest and most supportive people on OH. Please don't ever change! From what I read, someone can't take a joke, that is not your problem. You dont know if you dump b/c you dont test those waters(nor should you). That is what being compliant is w/this surgery. That is what you signed up to do and you are living proof that being compliant is the only way to go to be a success. You are doing so well, you are so loved here and please dont take other peoples stupidity to heart. We love you!

Oh My goodness Lisa- Not a huge deal. I don't dump, and I do snitch sugary foods- I too was ready to tell you that I was in the same boat, but After reading that it was an April fools joke I most certainly was NOT upset! You did it all in fun. I have read your posts faithfully over the last (almost) year and I must say you are one of the people that really make this message board worthwhile! You are very supportive, you are a leader, and I am always impressed with how great you are doing. I think that without you, our message board might die- and for us "lurkers" that don't post that much it would be a really big loss. We need people like you to keep the topics flowing. Thank you for being you! (and for having fun!) Stacy

Lisa, you are such as GOOF! Here you had me all ready to type one of my LONG, RAMBLING "It'll be O.K., trust me if you eat enough crap you'll get sick to your stomach, you don't have to dump to make yourself sick, get right back on the wagon, walk when you want to cave"... messages. As for Debra's response, I'll admit I can see where she's coming from. When you said you're doomed, my stomach dropped. You are one of the cornerstones of this message board, keeping us all honest and motivated. Especially when you said it was over for you. I think that's really one of our biggest fears, as a group. That this wonderful thing will somehow slip through our fingers and we will once again become the people we were a year ago. Not that there was anything wrong with us, but we were definitely hiding our best and healthiest selves. And I don't know anyone who wants to go back to that place! Of course, after the initial shock, I thought you were hilarious! If we can't laugh at ourselves, we must still be miserable or terrified! You aren't going anywhere. You're one of the 6 consistent people here. The rest of us come and go, lurking when we can, knowing you're keeping things going here. We need ya and luv ya, even though we've never actually met. Chin up! You can't over-react either. We'll be the ones to lose out. Kristie
