Am so tired of people who ask every ten minutes why they're not losing weight

Oh FFS....

Two funny things.

One...if you click on the link to the rules...it's broken and doesn't exist.

Two....I'm not ranting about ANY SPECIFIC MEMBER. This rant is about patterns of behavior, gross generalizations, and comical stereotypes....that this place is ripe with.

Also...please note the description of the Rants and Raves board:

"Want debate? Get it here. Gripe, complain, moan, fight, rant and rave. Enter at your own risk!"

Something like that. For fart's sake if you're a mom of small children, for feck's sake if you're Irish...etc..etc..

I sware some sociology PhD student could do a dissertation on BP and its posters...

You could do that on almost any internet board that has long term users though.

Probably...

While any analysis would need to include samples of users across the board (new people, drop ins, long term users, etc.), I would find the long term users the least interesting, at least academically. (Though that might be, in the case of BP especially, that there aren't as many because people either don't get on after a time, or they drop back in because they haven't been successful.)

Doesn't change anything in the end. You wanted to be funny (maybe) or you really wanted to rave and rant about other members and when you noticed you might have gone a bit too far you wrote that it was just a joke.

That's a really useful thing when it comes to irony: you can always use "it was just a joke" as a bailout.

I think especially the long term users are very interesting, both when it comes to cliques and how they treat new members. Highschool school yard anyone?

I completely agree. The immaturity is nauseating.

I wasn't thinking about the old mean girls group from back when. Good point.

Nope. I had absolutely no specific people in mind. And No, I don't think I went to far...in fact, there are several other stereotypes I left out. LOLOLOLOL:) Will have to revisit this thread and add a few more at some point!

If you expect me to worry about hurt feelings for talking about stereotypes and vague generalizations...you're barking up the wrong tree.

That would be like me worrying about you calling me a mean gurl. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOLOLOLOL:)

Psst...

Pot?

It's the Kettle...

You're black:)

      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.
