Was in a bad place owe OH an apology

Well I deactivated my account a couple of months back because I saw some blogging that looked like bullying to me. I had started a new job for the first time in five years with mostly everyone female,  and was trying to survive a little bullying myself. At work the first thing noticed is what I ate.( I worked at a bar and grill) Most of the food items were off limits to me. I lived in hell for four months. I felt bullied into eating things just so my coworkers could see "what would happen if..."  I guess I woke up one morning totally disregarded any of the positive experience's I had on OH and deleted my account.  To whomever my post  offended I apologize. I just thought that now that I am in a better place. (what was I thinking working at a restaurant any way?) Now that I have quit that job I seem to sleep exercise and generally feel better about my WLS decision.  I am glad to be back and glad that OH is a constant support to me. I must admit although I deactivated my account I returned frequently to read my favorite blogger's. This morning I read a blog response about what others think! Some one posted a response so riveting I just had to come back. Thanks for being their OH family!! I wish everyone great success and triumph in their journey to being what ever they want to be.

Dear Mrs Zoe,

I  have a lot of respect for you in coming back with an explanation and apologies. It takes a really big (not literally) person to admit a mistake in such a public way.

Welcome back! Now get on over here next to me, and lets walk this path together again.

Welcome back...I have no clue what you are referring to because I did not read your thread/posts.  I think this forum is so powerful and important for all our continued success and  support.  I finally had to start using the block button.  It was either that or I would have stayed on knots over certain issues.  Like another poster said, coming back is not always the easy thing to do.

We all have had our moments.  At least now you know working at a resturant isn't the best for you.  You have to be around people and places that you know are the best for you.  Good luck and welcome back.

Good for you for coming back and having enough courage to explain why you left and offer an apology! 

I'm sure at this point whatever may have happened is "water under the bridge" now so to speak.  As welcoming and supportive as I have found the peeps to be here, I can't imagine anyone would be holding a grudge, and if they are, well, that is what the BLOCK button is for 

Best of luck to you and wishing you lots of continued success!  Looking forward to "seeing" you around on the boards!

Welcome back. We are all in this together and we know we need each other. Good luck and glad you are not working in the "food" industry any longer. I think that might be part of the reason I became MO.
