"Stalls" why do people Freak out!

[laurelle1980 40]

I am so dissapointed to read this thread. We are all supposed to be here to support each other and if someone chooses to weigh 5 times a day or not at all doesn't mean they " were not ready" for this. Noone is perfect and noone is a professional at this wls. Everyone handles things differently and struggles differently.......this is not how we should be supporting each other :-(

I agree. We need to remember where we came from. Take a step back and analyze your life up hntil the point of surgery and beyond. Again, REMEMBER where you came from...with this, you'll find empathy.

I find it fastinating that some have taken offense to this post. Usually when I see a topic I am not interested in being a part of, I dont read it or comment on it. I kniw the poster meant no judgement or harm. I understand and agree that it can get a bit much everyday seeing some post about a stall. They are upsetting , but a necessary part of the process. How we handle them is another issue. I cant come to your home or office and keep you from scarfing down brownies. We all make mistakes and sometimes stalls come from mistakes, sometimes not. The fact is, I cant help you through your stall. I have offered encouragement and advice to those in stalls, but really theres not much to say. We all know we have to scale back to basics or.just drive on and wait.it out.

Exactly! We just have to wait it out even though it can be scary.

I personally don't think you said anything that was offensive nor judgmental....everyone has an opinion and you get bashed for stating yours??....wowzers!
