First negative comment

Sorry if I offend but I find that Christians are one of the most close minded people in the world - and I AM one!

I was reminded of this verse before I had my WLS: Mark 9:43 "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:"

While being obese it certainly is not prohibiting us from eternal life it IS keeping us from living a longer healthier life and certainly from enjoying the blessings the Lord has bestowed upon us. So if being obese is severely hindering you from a happy, active, responsible, healthy life then CUT IT OFF! Literally!

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!

no wonder i prefer animals over people, at least the critter loves you unconditionally. . . fat or thin. . . and doesn't hurt you with words and gestures. . . ugh

Like!

Congrats on your weight loss and your gracious way in handling a negative comment. I have yet to come to deal with this situation but I am hoping that I can be as dignified as you. You made a very good comment back to them and made them think.

well u look great, and I suppose like you said I really am not informed about it, I suppose I should be if I'm gonna comment.

You made him stop and THINK about his careless words. AND he admitted that it was a _____________(stupid, foolish, rude, fill-in-the-blank) comment. WOW! That is awesome!

Great, dignified comeback! Hopefully I'll be able to manage something that classy when it arises (which I know it will). Great luck with the loss!!
