Oh, do please shut up!

I just KNEW you we're gonna pop up and start waving this flag. Yeah, these are two totally different scenarios. Her blanket frustration above is very common, a lot of people think it but not many actually say something about it. But rather than just wait for someone to post and start ranting she didn't single anyone out as this is a general frustration. You were begrudging someone for posting a picture of a food that you wouldn't necessarily eat in your day to day... so you hung her out to dry for it, in her own thread when she was clearly just looking for some guidance. You did it without tact or consideration for any of her circumstances. Your "tough love" made you look like a jerk and it served only you.

So yeah, apples and oranges.

P.S. You can reply to this (as I'm sure you will), I won't be responding and doing the back and forth with you again. Just making my intentions clear.

Huh?! Wow, where are you coming from? Talk about getting defensive. Woa! And am so glad we won't be hearing from you again on this.

So, if you read my thread over there, I asked her why she only posted a picture. I asked her what her intention was. I pointed out several scenarios as to reasons why someone might make a post such as hers, but again, she gave us no direction. You made assumptions of her intentions and my intentions. Shame on you. You know what they say about people who make assumptions ... how true.

As far as it being a food I would not necessarily eat? Why are you making that assumption? I eat chips. Even the really bad nasty ones. Had me some Honey Mustard Pringles last night. I also had about 3 Snickers minis. This is my journey as it is hers. Again, she posted no text with her pictures and I was asking for clarification. If you read it in a cynical manner, that is your issue. A cynical person will read things in a cynical light. How did my post serve me? (scratching my head) Getting high and mighty while complaining about me getting high and mighty? Thank you for proving my point.

As far as going back and forth with you, enjoy your own mental games. I am not low enough to go into a battle of wits against an unarmed man.

VST is just like home with my kids ... the older and more experienced I am, the dumber I get.

And.. so.. Did someone mention Miley Cyrus? I'd like to mention just how much I loathe Justin Bieber. Just sowing the seeds, people. Sowing the seeds...

[Butterthebean 8,146]

Yeah but did y'all see Miley on SNL? She did a great Michelle Bachman impression....unless you are a fan of Michelle Bachman of course.

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

Okay, I have NO idea who Michelle Bachman is... Does that make me un-cool?

[Butterthebean 8,146]

Okay' date=' I have NO idea who Michelle Bachman is... Does that make me un-cool?[/quote']

Ignorance is bliss....in this case.

[McButterpants 2,846]

I want to punch the Beibs, too. I'm filled with hate today.

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

Oh, I know who she is now.. The crazy Republican chick! Nice! Miley Cyrus? Not so nice...

Not knowing who she is makes you very very fortunate.

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

Absolutely shocking behaviour for people who are supposedly working for the greater good of the nation... We can't believe it over here...

How do you think we feel. We can believe it....but we're embarrassed that we can.

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

I likened it to children spitting their dummies out and throwing their toys out of the pram. They're elected for a higher purpose - to serve the people. Not to whinge and whine and disable the country. El-tosseurs....

I agree with you Madam Reverie. The, "I have lost 26lbs in a month and the scale has not moved in 2 weeks" posts are like nails on a chalkboard for me. I personally do not own a scale or plan on buying one. I will base my comfort on the way my clothes fit and my overall happiness. I cannot live my life weighing in every day. Misery does not love company in my house!

:wub: peace out!

So I recently posted a thread that sounded pretty similar to the ones that are like nails on a chalkboard for you.... I wasn't whining in my opinion ( Madam eveRy time I read whinging I crack up, so funny the differences an ocean can make!) I was stating my progress thus far, how much I've lost, the fact that I hadn't lost in 2 weeks, and posted a before and after pic. I did this for my own benefit, to keep me motivated, and... I'm not gonna lie, maybe a few kind words of encouragement or GASP! God forbid, maybe 1 or 2 "atta girl's"! Lord knows I haven't had a life filled with kind words or recognition.

Sometimes we are just looking for a response, period. Because we don't always get that when we need it from our friends/family...

I was a little disappointed in the few responses I received, but hey, that's what happens with expectations. You constantly get let down. People need to treat others as they would like to be treated.

That said, whiners are annoying as hell, especially when it's the same thing over and over. I get it.

Madam -- As a stirrer of pots, you are easily one of my favorite people on this here board. It would be so fun to meet you IRL, but the fact that you exclaim "BALLS" and I say "y'all" leads me to believe we're a world apart, geographically speaking.

I fully intend to be sleeved and eat disgusting things from time to time. Balance is what I'm after. I will fully embrace "bad eating" now and again, and have no plans to whine -- not even once.

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

Posting your progress, is certainly not a negative. It's a positive and it should be congratulated! Saying the sky is going to fall in because you had a tootsie roll, is just not cool...

And I saw your pictures. They were awesome

[PdxMan 4,292]

It was pretty funny:
