Wagon? What wagon?
Cindy...nothing was exaggerated nor was it false. We each had our individual amounts of alcohol...ranging from 0 to 4 drinks...it affected each of us differently. Some were hung over some not. We did not post the events on here about it because we did not want to influence anyone's decision about alcohol. What my dr says about it and yours says about it are two different opinions. But like you stated. We are adults. We do not answer to anyone but ourselves and we are also the ones who suffer the repercutions. If you have dealt with alcoholism...you should know it is not a laughing matter...nor is any other disease. We did this in a social setting and actually took into account of what we picked and the amount we were able to consume. We are all different. Alcohol affects each person differently. If you feel you need to have a drink.....don't let us sway your decision. I would not let anyone sway mine on any choices I make in my life. Some may read what you wrote as an apology...some may not. The words are out there already. Maybe just let it go......
Ya know Cindy,
We have all stuck our foot in our mouths at one time or other. As I noted in my previous post I was sure you did not mean to offend. I'm over that part.
BUT....
Friends (even on line friends) have differences of opinion and may even have a few choice words for each other at times. That's not to say friends won't continue to be friends. I'm not sure what remarks you feel you don't deserve. Did anyone use nasty language? No. Did we state our opinion? Yes. If you can't tolerate when someone doesn't see things your way or agree with you at every turn then the Internet may not be the best choice of socialization for you.
You insinuated (albeit jokingly) that we should start hanging out on the AA website then inferred that we exaggerated being drunk......but YOU won't allow yourself to be treated "this way" when we have comment on what you said?? Your rationalization seems to be a little lop-sided to me.
If you feel you must go, I wish you well, but I personally think you need to pull up your big girl panties and stick with you friends on here.

Just another Bariatric Babe!!
Just another Bariatric Babe!! Now I have to apologize for posting again when I said I wouldn't. That would make me a liar. I couldn't believe how harsh my scolding was when my motives were pure. But I just wanted you to know that I have been crying over this for over an hour - does that mean I'm sensitive? yes... And maybe my antidepressants aren't doing their job anymore because I hardly ever cry anymore. As far as pulling my big girl panties up - well, they don't fit anymore!
I need the support of this group, but I don't know how long it will take me to get over my hurt feelings. I have only attended one support group in person because of location and conflicts. I have envied the close relationships you guys have developed. I miss having that friendship that you guys have and I guess I can't joke and tease with you all because you don't really know me.
I will put a safety pin in my big girl panties and pull them up and try to keep them up. Please try to be kinder to people who post here though. We aren't all made of steel. I guess I expected you guys to say something more like you knew I was making a joke and it just didn't come across right. And then I expected someone to say it's alright, But that didn't come until I had already done my reply...

Sorry LeeAnn but i finished the whole beer.lol
You know it was a fun time had and we dont do this all the time .
Plus as much as everyone walked and stayed on the go im sure those calories where burned quickly.
I agree that the AA comment was not justified at all ,you had to be there to see it was just a fun time and not an everyday thing...
Wow a 6.00 beer i owe you a few drinks when you come up this way.huh
Love You LeeAnn

Well...I hit delete instead of edit so I lost my original post.....But in the summary....we did not consume many calories and what we did was more than burned off and allowed into our accountability. I will put that i was very upset with the AA reference since I am an child of an alcoholic father and several family members! I understand we all have a right to our opinions, but even if that was meant as a funny....you missed the mark.
