alley-gator 96 Posted October 23, 2012 I have lots of numbers. 100 pounds to lose. 28 years old. 10 when my dad died of heart problems. 22 years left before I have a heart attack like the other ladies in my family. 2 months left of pre op diet! Not wanting to be a number is a ridiculous reason to leave this site. 1 hope4sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyIvy 159 Posted October 23, 2012 I have been on because I wasn't sure how to find Alex. I don't like the negativity here. People should be able to say how they feel and not be ridiculed. Support means good and bad. Again, not all of you, but most people here only want the positive. I have been on this site for a year and I see it over and over. That is not support. I don't need negativity from you people because I have a feeling that you don't support. Let me make this simple. I wasted my time reading so many of your whiny posts here that I am sick of it. So many good people with good hearts that are being drowned out by judgmental self centered people. I have never been part of an online forum before. I joined this place in the past year, and I will never be part of a forum like this again. So many of you hide behind your keyboard everyday treating people like garbage because you are anonymous. Anonymity makes people act online like people they aren't. I really, truly am happy for those of you that need this site. It has its place and I really needed it for a while when I was scared and confused and needed some help from some veterans. However, you can only deal with oppression for so long before you grow sick of it. Just like you all say, if you don't like something you read, don't comment, or don't read it. My mind is blown how you all take my response as if I affronted you personally. This site no longer works for me. I came back on to contact a few people that I have talked to for a year and ask how to get the account deleted. While I was here, yes I was proud to announce my entry into onederland. I didn't say a weight, its not important, but it was when I got in that range that my back quit hurting and my BP got back to normal. That makes me happy all by itself. Yes, I have been back on a couple of times because I am waiting for responses. It doesn't really matter if I explain myself to you nameless faceless people who have nothing better to do than judge someones opinion that you don't even know. For those of you that take this less personally. Please keep your heads up. I really want the best for everyone here even if they don't agree with what I say. If you want to see my optimism as climbing on my high horse fine. That is your prerogative.I look at things differently, want to support people and don't necessarily have the popular opinion, diversity in bodies and minds is very important and is what makes this country what it is. If you don't like it, don't read it. Thank you to those that are supportive and want to really learn and help people. PLEASE PLEASE I beg you to remember, you are more than a number. To those of you who take things personally and are judgmental, you can all screw off, my life, and frankly everyone elses, will be better without you. Thanks for the good times. No need to comment unless it makes you happy. I won't even read this post any further and will be waiting to hear from Alex. End. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to comment unless it makes you happy. I won't even read this post any further and will be waiting to hear from Alex. End. I'm not sure why you started this thread. If you were trying to find Alex, you could have created a thread with "Alex, please contact me." You could have simply stated you wanted to delete your account and not state a reason. Instead, you decided to bash people as a parting shot. You're right, the internet gives one a certain amount of anonymity and bravado to say what they please. As you leave this forum, keep in mind that: For your parting shot of negativity, anything positive you might have said comes off as back-handed. Good luck to your continuing journey of weight loss. I hope you find what you're looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki1119 4 Posted October 24, 2012 Omg! Stop it would you! Don't post another thing, if you are not happy move on, you are still on here lurking to get attention.

lizv123 389 Posted October 24, 2012 Nameless? My name is Liz. And that picture is my face. If anonymity makes people act differently than they would in real life what does that say about you? I know I'm me keyboard or not. Me in real life would say you're being ridiculous coming back here. You've been told your account can't be deleted so just stop logging in. Internet me says :"You're being ridiculous coming back here. You've been told your account can't be deleted so just stop logging in." 1 FromFlabToFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
