I ask forgiveness

This morning another member of this board e-mailed me and told me that my post about loseing my best friend was inappropiate.  I ask the forgiveness of the members of this board who feel that my prior post was inappropiate.  I thought that part of the purpose of the OH boards was to get the help and support for the things that are detrimental to our weight loss journey.  Apparently I was mistaken, so once again I ask for your forgiveness.

I don't know and really don't care who e-mailed you, but you obviously do NOT want to be friends with that person either (not a whole lot of support coming from that source). I am sorry someone took it upon themself to send you such an e-mail implying that it came from the entire support board. And yes, I agree with you about the "support" from this board....after all that person CHOSE to read your post in the first place, and sometimes you need to have a place to vent.

I'm sorry you have lost someone you felt was such a good friend, but maybe it will play out to be a blessing in disguise. Good luck with everything.

Thank-you for the support.  I really needed it today.

Hmmmm... that seems like a silly waste of time to send that email.  People post about everything here & I didn't see anything different about your post.  I also do think that it is very related to weight loss.  If I were in your shoes, the first thing I would have done was GO EAT.  By posting that here, it took your mind off of it for one minute and kept you away from the fridge! I hope things work out for you.

Thank-you for the support.  I have worked everything out in my own mind.  I could let it destroy my progress, or I can use it to make me stronger and a better person.  I will not hold a grudge.  I will use it to my betterment.

I didn't see your original post but in my opinion these boards are here for support...wls related or not.  Many people post about non-wls related topics so I wouldn't think it would be a problem to post about your friend.  I am sorry you are going through this, especially around this time of year.  Keep your chin up and we are here for you even if it is just to "listen" (or read as the case may be on these boards).

thank-you for your support.
