What in the world is going on!!!
Okay... I have been serious lurker mode for the past few weeks... only posting here an there.... But I had to come out and say something.. because the board that once was comforting and supporting is taking a wild turn arounds Hell's Bend.... So...
First, lets all realize the way we receive things are not always the way they are delivered... and vise versa, the way things are delivered are not the way the are received!
Next, we are using a medium where our own minds are making the call on how posts are delivered. With Email, Chat, and this forum, there is no way to hear a persons vocal intonation, or the inflexion of the voice to know is someone in trying to flame, roast, yell, or what ever.
On a more personal note... we are all on a journey... our paths are different... just as out bodies are different. We have different emotions, struggles. etc. We are not in a controlled environment where we are all confined to the same food and exercise. The point is we all struggle and what works for one may not work for the other.... No one... and I mean no one has the right to belittle, degrade or devalue another person for their efforts or lack thereof.
We have to remember it took us some time to get to this point on this board.... some of use grabbed the bull by the horns an ran with it, some of us fall off and get right back on... but eventually we find that motivation or that small victory to keep us going..... You gotta crawl before you can walk. It like learning to ride a bike... no one got on a back and just rode perfectly. Some of us are learning how to eat again, learning how to work out, how our bodies responds to certain things, etc. Some of us are just now realizing the type of relationship we have with food and are acknowledging it may need to change....
No matter what each of us is going thru... we need to be stepping stones and not stumbling block to each other.
Now with that said... I feel I am more than qualified to speak on this... because one, I have a MS in professional communication and am working on my PhD, number two, I care about ya'll on this board, and three we need to get back to the supporting and encouragement.... Lets all think about how empowered we feel when we come to this board and receive encouragement, whether for scale victory or non-scale victorys.... we felt like we can make it another day because someone had our back... and was not jumping on it...
Okay... I am done... going back to my lurker-ism!
God Bless and STAY ENCOURAGED!!!
lol i didn't even mean that the way you probably read it either! after reading it myself i'm sure it came off as me saying fine i'll just stay out of it then! that's not what i meant. i truely should have just kept my nose out of it unless i said something a bit more constructive. i didn't mean to seem to get on a defensive or attacking jersey either.
oh, it's just a typical family blow-out in my book. I think we're okay. We put the FUN in Dysfuntcional! Har....
It is not a conspiracy or anything, for me, it is good clean argument. I love it once in a while to blow out all the unsaid things. We don't need to call Yo Mama stuff or anything.
Yes, I try to always remember we are all on our own paths, at varied levels of understanding. Soemtimes we are not ready to hear things. One of these times, someody will type out something that has been said six ways to Sunday, but that one time, bang,....the door clicks, and a sad dysfunctional life-room closes while we start screwing up another room.
It's all good, right.
