Formatting your post



Recommended Posts

Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and as such may not be your opinion. I am not attacking anyone or even seriously expecting people to change what they do because this is about my opinion which is as equally valid as yours!

I find it very difficult to read posts that are formatted

  • with pretty pale pink fonts
  • tiny type
  • or centred

I also find it difficult to read posts that are written in text talk, with lots of spelling and/or grammar mistakes.

I guess that is what comes of being a formally trained writer who is, gulp, turning 50 this year.

The worst for me is when people don't use paragraphs. That usually makes me give up trying to read what they have written.

No, the worst is when people use absolutely no punctuation!

The only problem I have is the very small print.

Everyone has different educational backgrounds, so I don't fault anyone for doing the best they know how.

The colors don't bother me or whether they center, right or left margin.

I don't even care if they use paragraphs.

I just like the fact that they feel they can share and be supported.

To each their own!

I agree with Maddysgram... I can handle just about anything. If the font is too small for my bifocals... well, I just don't respond. Or maybe that's what they wanted? Anyhow. To each his own.

I totally agree with this! My eyes are getting old and the light pink is just hard for me to see against the white background. Hmmm, glasses maybe in my near future.

Awesome! Great to see responses in the same light-hearted "you don't have to do it my way" style as I was aiming for in my original post.

Just goes to show that we really can all get along if we just play nicely.

:P :P :P :P

I guess everything looks the same on the phone app... I don't see any different colors or fonts

Us phone app-ers only get black & white, all the same size fonts. :(

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
