CAN'T Believe what I'm reading!!!
I haven't been on OH, for a while, and "stopped" by to see how everyone is! I couldn't believe what I'd been reading! I guess, I really HAVEN'T BEEN MISSING A THING! Guys, have some of you FORGOTTEN what this board is for? I can't believe the administrators of OH even allow some of this stuff! I once referred to my dog, and in calling her the kind of SPANIEL she is, the first word of the kind, was STRICKEN!! Can you believe that! And yet, they allow this back and forth stuff? Maybe I've been wrong. Maybe this isn't a place for people to get help???
I've met some wonderful people, made some great friends, from OH, having my own struggles with weight loss, but don't think this is the place I'll come, for help! Sure am sorry to see this forum going in this direction! Come on, people GROW UP and deal with these petty things, SOMEWHERE ELSE! This board is for WLS issues, and things that caused us to get here! I guess if this is what makes your day, HAVE FUN!

So true Ginger!
I hope you are doing well. Nope not much has been missed. Unfortunately, this is something that happens every few months. I am just ignoring all that and I am going to continue paying it forward for those that need support.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Your avatar looks great! Sorry to hear that you(and all of us) have hit a rough spot and struggling with your weight. When I read your post it really hit home for me. We (us) are such creatures of habit. When I finally was ready to acknowledge out loud that some of my choices were not the best and my portion sizes were growing, I (like any other addict) needed to be stopped! I went on the board after a long absence, didn't recognize a lot of the people, and the ones that I did recognize felt like they were freeze framed from 6 months ago! Not exactly what you would call a warm fuzzy feeling. The Good news is I didn't turn to food, but to friends and family. I am going to try and be better about checking in on OH, not just for myself, but for others who are/were like myself pre/post WLS. I hope you feel the same way also. The people on this board who want to lose the weight, but MORE importantly lose the demons who allowed us to eat to obesity! I hope u and others with positive attitudes and open hearts will try and do the same. No miracles here, just asking for baby steps! Stay well and shout out if needed! xo, :)

Glad to see you stopped by!
Keep coming.... I think we are on the right track to getting the board back to support and talking about our success and failures - and to helping each other pick up the pieces and move on to the next day!
We all need a kick in the rear for different reasons - whether it be eating wrong, not exercising, putting ourselves down, not taking out vitamins... we all have our downfalls, so let's pick each ohter up and all get to goal!
