For those of you that I offended, hurt your feelings and or posted something that offended you...PLEASE FORGIVE ME. It was NEVER EVER intended to hurt anyone, "out" anyone or disrespect anyone. I don't know know anything else I can say or do. I've tried to contact the person that notified me to "please never contact me again", but I was blocked by that person. I was taken quite by surprise by his/her personal message. I did NOT even know that he/she was the original person who gave my other friend the advice on eating after a sleeve. I had NO CLUE that it was him/her that gave my friend the original advice. All my friend told me was that "a vet sleever" that she respected -no name, nothing- had given her this advice. I NEVER posted anyone's name with this advice and didn't think that I was doing anything inappropriate or wrong. PLEASE KNOW I WILL NEVER EVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE again. I value each of you as friends and fellow WLS supporters. For those of you that know and or understand who I'm talking about...PLEASE pass on my apologies, since I am blocked from him/her seeing my posts.
AGAIN....I APPRECIATE YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND YOUR ADVICE & EXPERTISE....EACH OF YOU.

Susie....It's going to be OK. Some people just flat have issues that we may not be aware of. I truly wouldn't worry about it. Trust me I've had my share of feeling as you are now from message boards. Hope that person gets over whatever made them block you because they blocked a amazing woman who might one day "help" them.

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I don't know what the issue was either, Susie. But you have to let it go. I don't believe you did anything wrong. I may be going out on a limb, but you seem like a "people pleaser". You have to learn to put yourself first and try not to worry about what other people think. That will help you in your weight loss journey.
Rest up and I hope you are getting stronger everyday!!

Thanks, Laura. And you're absolutely right. About the time I "think" I have that nasty people pleaser issue under control, it sticks it's ugly head again. And yes, being a people pleaser puts us on a detour, thus slowing down & disrupting our journeys - WL or anything else.
Although I'm still having replies to my original post on the day that I was so upset, it is over. I contacted the person and let her know my feelings and I'm done with it. I did, however learn a few valuable lessons from this.
Again, thanks for the observation and reminding me that I do not need to worry about what others think.
thanks, Laura. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.......Susie
SUSIE-I don't know-or NEED to know what transpired...as you hang around her..or any Internet community, these things will happen..much is loss in the written word (even with with peeps who insist on using those nerve racking emoticon things)...You may well have said something innocent, that way taken taken the the wrong way..OR..you may have totally pissed somebody off..Either way..shake it off...
As a dear friend of mine taught me:
"It's none of your business what someone else thinks of you"
I totally agree with LAURA. To some extent, I dare say we all want to please others, but some of us do more than others. We are NOT going to please everyone-not even in our own houses--I can even please MYSELF all the time--and I'm only ONE person..
Anyhoo--just remain TRUE TO YOURSELF..remain true to your values..BE YOURSELF..and depend on US to call you on BS, when you need it..lol...but only if you ASK us too :)

Oh, Susie - I know just how you feel. I'm always so nice to people, and I've had some very ugly things said to me on here. Blow it off and move on, it's just the internet. (((HUGS)))
