Okay, I am going to wear my asbestos panties for this one.
For the past couple of weeks I have seen people coming on here and imposing their beliefs and programs onto others on here. and in my OPINION being very judgemental.
I have two sayings that keep running thru my mind that my Dad always said, and that I try to live by everyday.
1. THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERFECT MAN IN THIS WORLD, AND WE CRUCIFIED HIM!!!
2. PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW STONES.
That being said. I know that some of the judgemental statements and postings on here has driven some people that truly need the help and support of this board away. Or has made them feel vulnerable and attacked. This is a place they should feel SAFE.
No two peoples journeys are going to be the same, no two peoples results are going to be the same. NO TWO PEOPLES DAILY LIVES ARE THE SAME!!! Who are we to judge if they are doing it right or not? Have we truely walked in their shoes? Do we really know their issues? Probably not.
If we were all so perfect at this journey why did we need surgrey in the first place? If we didn't have extending issues why couldn't we do it on our own? Why didn't we just lose the weight?
I am not saying we shouldn't give CONSTRUCTIVE opinions... but we should have some empathy for what others are going thru, and the decisions they make...
Okay, now I have said my piece, and I know I am going to hear it...soooooo
MY DOUBLE LAYER, TRIPLE INSULATED ASBESTOS PANTIES ARE ON AND READY!!!!!!

I am not short... I am fun sized!!
@ asbestos panties!!! I don't think I've ever heard that one before, Diane. haha
My take on this is simply: no reply. Any replies made to this whether in agreement or not, will fuel a fire that is smoldering.
Best to you, Diane - enjoy your weekend. At least the weather is holding out so far! 
Diane,
I totally agree with you.......I feel sorry for the lurkers that are newbies.......I just want those people to know that we are human and we make mistakes.......We just have to learn by those mistakes and move on.......I wish I was perfect at this WLS, but I'm not.....I'm human.....
Like the other day, I had red licorice. Are we supposed to? NO......But I had 2 pieces, instead of the whole bag.........So I was actually proud of myself for only eating 2.........
I guess if we ask for advice we have to be ready for good & bad..........If I don't like what I read on a post now, I just bypass it and move onto the next one........
Keep working your tool and don't get gown on yourself for being HUMAN.........
