Raise your hand if you ever felt personally victimized by Regina George.

Sometimes this forum sounds more like "Mean Girls" than Bariatric PAL. I've been coming here for 18 months now and it's been this way the whole time. Lol. Never a dull moment.

Since you've chosen to keep returning to this forum over the past 18 months, then presumably you're gaining something from it, so that is a positive. :) I've seen a few snarky posts here, but I've also witnessed the same people make an effort to try to genuinely help others. I've actually encountered more complaints about "bullies" than evidence of the bullying. I don't know if moderators have deleted the posts construed as offensive, or if I've just not come upon them. To answer the question, I've never felt victimized by "mean girls" here. Honestly, strangers on the internet do not possess the power to make me into a victim. As Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." My advice is that you refuse to give that consent. Unless you enjoy the drama, I'd skip over the posts of people who you think belittle others, or offer nothing of value, and focus instead on what benefits you.

Am I going to be called a mean girl or a bully if I point out that I thought that movie completely sucked? Like, colossally?

I don't like movies about teenagers unless they're getting hacked up. And I can't say I've ever felt like I was being chainsawed while posting here.

Then again, I just might be the one doing the carving, since I don't always agree with other posters or reinforce behaviour that I don't agree with.

Is it sad that I'm a guy and I know that the Regina George comment is from the movie Mean Girls?

Feeling old.... I have no clue what anyone is talking about, save @@Dub and his ass kicking.

It's my modus operandi.

When you get old you repeat yourself.

Did you know that when you get old you tend to repeat yourself?

Umm... I don't recall what you were talking about but did you know that as we age we repeat ourselves?

Can you repeat what you were saying?

Squirrel moment!

Not even "Clueless"?? That's the best movie about teenagers ever IMO.

      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.
