I don't think I'll ever have plastics

Yup, if someone blocks you their replies won't show up on a discussion page-- at least, not while you're logged in.

Yes, she likely "blocked" you -- because while she is perfectly comfortable doling out straight talk to others -- she apparently can't handle it being directed at her.

That is why the cruelty of her responses belies how she really feels about herself, and really nothing about you.

It seems her "inside" matches her "outside" pretty well. No amount of surgery will be able to repair that.

Pity.

I also left out a comma in my reply back to you. Don't see a edit button from phone! Thank you for bringing to my attention that I had posted incorrectly I would never want someone to think I supported such mean and negative behavior. Nothing worse then a bully.

Interesting that you consider my response hateful, when it was merely direct and to the point, yet your responses you don't consider negative, just "your honest opinion." As for 10 paragraphs, I could have done it in 2 but it would have been harder to read.

Nobody suggested you candy coat your question, but how about phrasing it in a way that isn't condescending (for example, your use of the words "fictitious or real"). How about "I see your goal is to lose 325 pounds. That seems like a big goal to achieve, do you feel that it's realistic?" See, amazing how that doesn't imply the person you're asking is a dolt living in a fairy tale?

You repeatedly listed reasons her desire to be happy with no PS were pie-in-the-sky dreams. I don't see how you feel that is helpful in the least.

Finally, I see you blocked me. Well, that means you won't see my response, and that's fine. I'm happy to be blocked, have a happy life

P.S. Yes, I can see what you wrote, because COMPUTER TECH!! lol

You're my hero.

Or perhaps this has been a "lonely solitary experience" because of your frequently snippy and judgmental tone?

Have you ever considered therapy? I don't mean this to be cruel, but it sounds like there might be underlying issues why your life is a "lonely solitary experience."

That is actually the thing I worked out in therapy. That it is a solitary experience that no one else is going through but me and I can't really expect other people to understand something they aren't experiencing.

My friends are all either naturally thin or obese and not trying to lose. There is no one in my social circle that has experienced what I have and that is something I had to accept.

I am not sure I understand how that matters in a friendship? I mean, certainly there's more to you, your life, and your social relationships than weight loss -- right?

All my friends are either naturally thin, normal sized, fat, or obese -- none of them have had WLS or shared my experience -- but what does that matter? Certainly there are other things to talk about and life experiences to share.

Stay happy and encouraged as you are doing wonderful!!! never let anyone steal your Sunshine and Joy!!!
