OT...Why
can't everyone be happy for one another in their journey on this board and not be jealous of others and always feel like they have to "one up" someone else?
If you always feel like you have to be number one and have all the attention then maybe you should look at the real reason you had WLS.
I am sure that those that this is directed at will not even notice it is to them but maybe, just maybe it will sink in.
I am truly grateful for all of my friends and family on this board and I am happy for every one of your accomplishments along with those of your children, spouses and other family and friend.
For those of us that do this for the right reasons...THANK YOU!

Not to be rude Tammy, but if you have a problem with someone maybe you should let them know. I know you are an upfront person. Why not say it? You really should not judge other people. Everyones journey is there own. If you feel I need attention sorry, I just share my story. I feel offended by what you have wrote.

Brooke,
Absolutely NOT you. I have told this person this and they still feel the need to be the center of attention. I am sorry if you felt it was you but I have never felt that way about you. I love hearing your stories and look forward to your updates on the feeding tube issue. You are still pretty new here but you will come to see what I mean in your own good time. It was in no way directed at you. There have been those that have come and gone and those that pop in from time to time just to get the attention. You are a regular that is here for the right reasons. I enjoy reading what you have to say.

Oh god Tammy? Are you really that bored since the races were rescheduled until tomorrow? Did you think I was that stupid to not get that this was directed TO me after that malicious email you sent me? Remember the one in which you called me horrible names, said things about me & MY SON, (whom should have never been brought into it). I wrote you back and at the end of the email, I told you that I was done. The discussion, arguement what ever was OVER. Yet you can't let it go? I thought a purpose of this board was to relate to what others have or are going to go through so that we could talk about it, learn from it, grow from it? Even if it didn't have to do with WLS. Not bash people up over it, or insult them because of it. WOW? Not only has my opinion of you changed but according to messages, so has others! Have you not noticed that some of our local regulars don't even post anymore? Care to venture into why? I know... thanks to messages!
No I do not have to be the center of attention. Never have, never will. I don't tend to need to have things focused on me. Not how I operate. But what I won't tolerate is someone insulting me and bashing me to themselves or others in the hopes to gain grounds. We had a difference of opinions in a post, nothing more, nothing less. It should have been left at that. I walked away from the discussion, with no hard feelings, (as stated in my email) and hadn't really thought twice about it. But now I see that you want to call me (and maybe others as well) out to humiliate me more? Only after posting a compliment to my new pics earlier? What was the purpose of being 2 faced? None, from what I'd gather. There is no need in replying back to this, as I am sure you will want to do more mud slinging but unfortunately, it won't matter. Neither of us will be able to read what the other has read.
But do not assume that you know anything about why I wanted to have this surgery or why I had it. You are not the only one that has made the decisions for the RIGHT reasons even if your reasons are not the same as someone else's right reasons.
Just leave it be Tammy, and leave my son out of it! We are both grown ups... BOTH of us should act like it!

Theresa,
Nope, I am definately NOT bored. I have been gone from home with friends most of the day. I never sent you a malicious e mail. I did respond to YOUR PM but was never malicious. I only stated my observations and opinions which we are all entitled to. No one said this was about you and I never brought your son into anything. You are the one that discusses him just as I discuss my daughter, husband, etc. The only e mails I have ever received from you are of pics from the two gatherings that you attended. I never assume anything about you or your reasons for having surgery. I would hope you did it for the right reasons but wither right or wrong it was your decision to be made. I have not made any regulars stop posting. They can feel free to post to whatever they want at any time. If they do not like something that I post or have a problem with me they can feel free to post at any time or PM me. I am always open to constructive criticism. More often than not people stop posting because they find themselves too busy with life. As you know when you lose a large amount of weight you tend to have a lot more energy and want to do more of the things you have been missing out on being heavy. I welcome others insight and experiences. I meant what I said about your pics. You have come a long way and should be proud of where you are and where you are going. I do wish you luck with all of your future endeavors.

Again, we will have to agree to disagree regarding your email but making accusations and accusing me of harmful things towards my son, to me are malicious but as I have said, I am letting this go and moving on. I think that is best so that we do not continue to be at each others throats. As stated, numerous times, I have no hard feelings for you. Whether or not you called me out, namely, after the message you sent me, this post was directed towards me and you are right... You are entitled to your opinions. As am I.
I have come a long way, and will continue to go the rest of the journey until I get to where I need to be to be happy. Think of me as a failure or not, because I openly admit to my flaws and faulters but... I WILL get to where I need to be to be happy & healthy. But thank you for what compliments you have given me. But for me... this squabble with us is done for me! Happy posting on here and good luck to you as well!

Theresa,
Again, No one said this was toward you. What I have sent you in PM is just that...personal messages and I have chosen not to post it on the boards. Yes, we do need to agree to disagree but you also need to understand that I have never sent you an e mail making any accusations of you and certaintly NOT of doing ANYTHING harmful towards your son. I have never even thought that. Anyone that feels the need to know exactly what I wrote is free to PM me and I will forward it but do not accuse me of doing anything toward you regarding Cameron. I think he is a lovely little boy and I can see you do love him very much. I have never been at your throat and do not intend to be ever. Life is way too short, honey. Thank God we do live in America and are entitled to our own opinions...all of us.
As I have stated many times before, yes, you have come a long way and should be proud of where you are today and where you are headed. I had hoped that the progress you had made thus far was enough for you to be happy already but since you have stated that you still need to get there (and I have no doubt that you will) I wish you all the luck and hope you make it soon. We all deserve happiness. I do not think of you as a failure. I think of you as a work in progress, just like all of us. We evolve a little more every day, even after years out of surgery.
You can say "this squabble is done for you" but understand I have not been squabbling with you and I do not intend to start now. I do wish you the best of luck and hope that you are happy with Cameron and Dan very soon.

Well you may not have put my name in the subject line but after your response to my message yesterday, the implications were there. You have accused me of several things, the most disturbing was making up situations regarding my son to bring about attention. As if I would EVER make up a story about my son and a tick bite that caused him to contract Lyme Disease, a disease, that if not caught and treated is potentially deadly. Take a peek at my MySpace, there is a blog on there with pics of Cameron in the hospital and a pic of the gaping bite taken out of his head from that little bug. To insinuate that I would make up attention, about not only my health, the improving or failing of it or that of my son is ludicrious and hurtful. I do not now, nor have I ever suffered from Munchausen Syndrome and for you to say that you KNOW I love him yet can say that I make things up for attention is hypocritical. So yes... malicious things were said... but we are back at having to agree to disagree.
I am very happy with my progress and where I am in my life. Alot more than I was a few months ago but... as you have stated, this is a work in progress. I am far from a failure as I have much to go on my journey and much more happiness to achieve. I will get to the place that I am supposed to be... with the help of those that are true to me and there for me. This journey, for me, will never be over... And with each mistake or non compliant thing I do, I will hopefully do my best to learn from it. I just wish that you hadn't passed judgment on someone so soon after only an experience or 2... but albeit! If you wish to talk further, you have my email and you can message me here. I am sure this forum is over done with our drama, lol! Take care... I know I plan on it!!!

Theresa,
As long as you state things in here that are incorect about me then I will continue to defend myself here on the board. I have never stated that you have intentionally hurt Cameron. You would be a lunitic to do that and I never believed that you did. This is not about you. No one but you stated that it was. I have been contacted by the person that it was about and he/she is fully aware of my intentions and we discussed it. Not you, Theresa. I would LOVE to take a look at Camerons pic...just to see what it looks like as I have never seen it but I'm sorry...I can't. You have a private profile.
Glad you are happy thus far and wish you the best in your continued journey. I will always be here if you need anything, as I am for anyone. You know how to reach me if you do. I will gladly communicate with you via e mail or PM but only if you do not accuse me of false things. As long as that happens then I will continue to defend myself although those that know me best know that it is not true anyway.
All the best,
