the nerve

how dare you say how the posts on this board are about our disfunctional familes eating disorders their errands and MY FAKE TWINS!!!!!!!.....guess you gained weight cause you were trying to see how big you could get??? last i knew the definition of a disfunctional family was any family that had any issue out of the norm.....a family with a smoker makes it disfunctional, and over weight person, an alcoholic, a child with adhd, any one with a disability, parents who fight.........and so on and so forth some of us are not newbies and we no longer experience what the newbies talk about. And some of us actually help each other and support each other. so therfore SOPHIEGIRL........you just insulted every individual on this board. you owe everyone an apology, but you can keep the one you owe me....i would not wipe my backside with it. but thats my opinion and I am entitled to it. tammy

I come from a dysfunctional family (big time) and I am proud of it! LOL  My families problems make me (and my family) stronger.  We face all our dysfunctions together and become closer.  I would hate to be anything close to normal.  What's wrong with having your breasts redone?  I am definitly going to need to have mine redone, if I ever win the lottery, but I will need them done regardless.  That's what happens when you lose a bunch of weight, your breasts go flat, like an old party balloon, they don't quite float but they don't quite touch the ground yet either.  Mine are sad.  Also if we didn't have some kind of eating disorder we wouldn't be here in the first place, I think everyone has some kind of eating disorder, whether your skinny or obese. 

I know I don't post here( Yes I am bad I do lurk alot). But after reading some things, some thoughts popped into my head that I felt I needed to say. Most folks don't understand where we come from, if they have never been there and until they have they need to keep to themselves. Until they can sit in a doctor's office and hear a doctor say your gonna end up with heart disease or you have heart disease or your going to end up worse, they have no right or reason to come here and act like crazed hyenas yelping words. Are we dysfunctional? In my opinion we all are and I am not just talking about us here who are bonded by the need to get healthy but by humanity, everyone is dysfunctional in one form or another, it's called being human (disclaimer: I probably have a different view on this than most but it's my opinion). And us being a 'dysfunctional family' have a right to be proud of accomplishments and achievements whether it's Tammy's Twins, Carla's 6 month post op and being down 107.5 pounds. or Wendy's family dog winning the Cutest Dog in Hot Springs award. But that's what makes us the 'dysfunctional family' that we are. We have been through same walk of life that got us here and will continue to be a part of the walk of life for years to come. Because I for one know that will I not only need the support of my family (ya know the one I grew up with and very dysfunctional in their own and dang proud of them) but the support of friends who know where I been and where I am going. If anyone feels the needs to call me names, well that's their own loss but ya know most of the time I get the joke.  But we all get moody. Believe me my hubby is quick to tell me if I am out of sorts. But I'd rather him or anyone for that matter to be honest with me and tell me this. Makes things easier and hopefully avoid a big blow up session. On a final note (I hope lol I can get long winded at times) even as a 'dysfuntional family' doesnt mean we all came from the same walks in life as in religion, where we grew up and the linguist's that come from it, or the color of our hair, but in the end we are all here because of a commonality we have we have to loose the excess and keep it off to live and being here helps me by knowing that I am not the only one who has to do this (not that I am wishing that anyone had to) and that I have the support of others as well to help support those in need. And that might include something bad that day or something good, no matter what it is. Just remember we are here to help each other whether it's good or bad. And like any 'family' there are time someone is going to get mad at another person for some reason or anothr, and in the end just like any other 'family' you make up. Just remember talking is the key word when this happens. Terri Disclaimer: None of this was said to hurt anyone just my opinion as a lurker who promises to be more active in the future.
