My apologies

Good Morning Friends,  I am posting an apology this morning... I had gotten a "harsh" PM from a person from this site. The email stated in a bold, harsh, and confrontational way...  that  my posts are insensitive to those that have struggles with weight.. and that when I post my "tiny victories" it is offensive and almost like rubbing it in peoples faces..... Let me say this.... My intentions are to never, ever, make anyone feel uncomfortable.  I believed the idea was to support each other, encourage and share in successes, fears, failures, and etc.  This is the safest place to do that.. I thought... Although... I do not agree with the email I receive... I will take this time to apologize if I have offended anyone in this page.. only because that is what "Divas" do!!!!   This is like a mini-family to me... I get concerned if I do not see certain people posting on the board for a while....  but again.. It is my fervant hope that if I have offended anyone that my sincere apology will be received and accepted. Peace and Blessings to all Diva

Odd.....you inspire me like no other! No offense taken here. :) Don't worry about the PM....if you don't like someones post...move on. :) Right!? Woohoo to Diva's baby!

Thanks Christa.... I appreciate you!!! 

Diva, Why are you apologizing?  Frankly there is no need.  This site is about support...the good and bad...and that includes when we have victories.  I love hearing when people are doing good.  It's a great source of inspiration.  You have never come across as being offensive.  The person, whoever it was, that PM'd you was way out of line.  Don't let her/him bring you down.  Next time block them.  You show how classy you truly are by not revealing this person.  I don't know if I would have been that nice. We're here to lose weight and support our little community in this struggle/adventure. I still say, YOU ROCK lady. Melinda

Thank you Melinda..... The block button is a nifty feature.. maybe they will block me... I have no clue... no need to put them out there... because I am certin they are reading this post too..... but I appreciate your support....

I don't agree with this person at all.  Continue doing exactly as you have been.  I'm surprised I haven't received the same email since I do the same thing.  If I do I will not change anything I do one way or another.  Even if I was gaining weight I would not feel like that when you post your successes.  Posts like yours are what gives me hope.  No one can tell anyone what to say on this board.   I don't believe any of us are trying to offend anyone.  We all know full well on this board just exactly how difficult it is to get and or maintain control over our eating.  We do not judge anyone who can't either.  We understand cause we've been there.  I hope this person reads our posts and looks at it in a different light.  Brenda

Thank you Brenda... I hope so too...I just want to help and be a supporter and be helped and supported too.. ya know....  Thank you for your support.... I really love all ya'll (in my Texas drawl).. everyone has helped and inspired me...

Oh my gosh Diva... that is NOT cool :(  I am still pretty new here, but I have NEVER seen anything that might even slightly lead me to feel offended- in ANY way.   Please don't feel bad... it sounds like someone else may have had a rough day and was venting their own personal emo issues onto someone else :( I think you are doing GREAT! I love to read all the posts here (sorry I rarely get the chance to post- I keep hoping that will change as my job mellows:) Hang in there- keep doing what your doing!!!

  Thank you much... I appreciate your support... and welcome to the board!!!

No apology needed here either!  I've never felt that way and can't really understand it.  I've gotten support from most and silence from the others and that is the way it should be.  It's too bad b/c I know much it I would take something like that to heart.  Well, you've got the rest of us though!
