The craziness continues

I think I'll primarily hang out around here for awhile and give the main board a break.  The hair-brained ideas and odd eating plans and misguided choices and weird posts continue over on the main VSG board and I just don't have the patience I used to.  I figure giving it a break will help me re-gain some patience so I can contribute again somewhere in the future.

*sigh*  Just venting I guess.

How many of you just hang out here and leave the main board alone?

It's almost at the point where I'm about to leave. Can't stomach the main vsg board anymore.

This forum isn't as active as it used to be. I go to the old posts and read those all the time.

Yes, and I even find myself on the main OH forum now too.  Even IT'S less crazy than the VSG one now.  Sad really.

Me, Me, Me! I hardly ever post, but did yesterday and started a f*ckin nuclear war. I just couldn't stand to read another post about moderation. That is such bull**** and I have to say (because I am in my "safety zone" here...

The people talking about Moderation were all still 200+ pounds, so yeah...how is that working out for you?

Moderation is for MAINTENANCE!!!

ok...feel better now

I truly think some folks (not all) don't get it. And I fear for their future.

I don't post on the main VSG board very much, because of the craziness and misguided opinions and ideas. Sometimes, I start to post something and stop. If I don't have anything nice to say, I don't usually post. It just isn't worth my energy or time. I did take break for awhile, but do skim the postings. I am spending more time on the Plastics forum and Lightweights. Sometimes, I visit the Exercise forum and of course, this group.

Ooooh, exercise forum.  I think I need to visit that.  I'm slowly becoming a runner and I think I like it!

I rarely go over to the main board. Mostly read here and post little.

Ha! I was just coming in here to maybe vent about my itchy Block finger.. There's about 4 I really want to block, but just can't.. I left OH entirely for quite some time, between getting totally burned out on the forum BS, and OH BS.. but then I missed you guys! So, I came back.. now I'm getting a stress response reading the stupidity in the main forum again.. sorry, but I need to vent.. if this offends anyone, so be it, it's how I really feel.

The person that has stirred the pot recently has posted some scary (for her own-self though she is oblivious) stuff.. eating taco bell tacos soon after healing (and puking it back up since it didn't sit well), eating pizza soon after that, eating the McD's.. and I gather that Oreo dip recipe was hers too? All within a short time.. and yet there are a few "cheerleaders" who've got her back.. Way to enable someone who is obviously struggling with serious eating issues! And worse is the mental masturbation techniques to justify the bad decisions.. that's the hard part for me to read.. it seems so many are so focused on the food, they are skipping past the really important point. Ugh. 

Ok, time for me to take a break as well, or perhaps block after all. I will not put any more time into responding to these posts.. but there are many that are really plugged in to themselves and are open, and learning, and improving.. and those I will continue to be there for.. but there are a small number of others that are going along as if this is a guarantee of success. I really think some get caught up in the fast loss time and think that's just the way it is forever.. no more hard times! No need to un-bury those hard to face head issues when the tiny stomach saves the day time after time!

I just keep thinking, and yes unabashed schadenfreude:


.. but there's only so many times I can watch people and try to help before I realize, it's check-out time for my own sanity. Can't fix them all.. not going to stress over it. Everyone stands or falls on their own. Unless they want to change, they won't and nothing anyone can type will alter this.
