I ate 4 Dairy Queen Buster Bars in 5 days...

I believe "Troll" was the consensus before.

As for Ip Adresses - good luck with that.  90 percent of the posts I see still say "posted 6 hours from now".  Not sure i'd trust much metadata on here if they cant get a timestamp right.

OK STOP THE INSANITY!!!

I had to log out to see this full thread - I had both this Lisa person (after the whole who do I listen to thread) and Sleevegirl blocked.  I specifically unblocked Candy so I could respond to this.

This whole thing is just getting out of hand and everyone, me included is taking it entirely too personally.  Yes, I blocked Candy after the whole PoPo and oops thread fiasco this weekend.  Clearly these people saw no value in my posts, and I had no respect for their positions on moderation or the need for self analysis.  After seeing the way Candy referred to me in the other thread yesterday, I don't regret that. I blocked about 6 other people off of the PoPo thread too.

That said, what Candy and I feel about each others positions is no one else's business.  There does not need to be a Candy Vs. Rob camp because NONE exists.  At least not in my mind, hurt feelings and everything else aside.

I would tell Candy, don't let **** like this get to you.  Go take a look in the mirror and celebrate all that you have achieved.  Let yourself feel whatever hurt feelings you have then let them go.  With the crap from friday and yesterday, I went out and had myself a nice long walk, spent time with mu hubby, and then was able to laugh all of it off and make a game of it on the other threads.

Candy, Please do the same thing.  Don't take anything on here so personally that it makes you change who you are.  Be as fierce a champion for moderation on here as I am for reflection.  Together we can make sure the newbs have all the different paths to choses from.  As I have said at least two or three times over the past two days - its US against the disease, it doesn't have to be us against each other.

Hey Rob, just for the record, I'm not against you incase it seemed like it. I just didn't like that someone made it seem like she was a piece of **** compared to you and I was stating numbers to discredit her argument.. A lot of times I don't agree with what a lot of people say here but I've never talked **** to you or about you and I woudn't. You've encouraged me a lot of times. Just clearing that up incase you think I'm in one camp or another with regards to you. Like I said before, I could give a **** what people eat or don't eat.

I try to not take anything personally, and I din't take what you said that way.  You;re one of the Cool Kids, remember?

 

I can agree or disagree with people.  I just hate when it gets emotional.  I got a little emotional being called "crap" yesterday and did decide to reach for that block button.  

Emotions aside, its not me against Candy and I want to make sure she understands that most of all regardless of this or any other thread.  I believe more than anything else, its all of us against the disease.

LMAO I'm totally not a cool kid anymore. I moved over to the lame kid bench a while ago. I just post sometimes either when someone ****** me off or when I feel I have something relevant to say. Every once in a while I post a "shut the **** up" post. Plus, my loss is nothing magnicifent so I have no significant words of wisdom besides every one of your choices has a consequence whether it be positive or negative and you have to live with it. That's my philosophy. So whichever road we take, that's my bottom line. Eat a burrito, eat a piece of chicken, either one won't hurt you immediately, but when you add up the consequences to each one of the individual decisions, you may or may not like the outcome. To each their own and we can't make choices for anyone but ourselves.

Thanks for that, Rob, and I apologize if I said anything that hurt your feelings too. Admittedly, you rub me the wrong way sometimes, but I believe in a softer hand with folks and that's okay. Sometimes you come off really harsh to folks (heck, I'm probably too nice most of the time).

I didn't realize this person was a troll, just hit me the wrong way today (I'm a girl and a lot of really horrible crap is going on this week - I posted further up this this thread and a little on the blog here - and this Lisa chick was just icing). Anyway, I'm still going to take a step back. I'm obviously taking all this stuff to much to heart.

What is so funny is that I actually usually agree with you. Hell, my therapist tells me I'm too hard on myself and my diet as it is. Moderation isn't what I'd call I do or how I handle things for myself. I just like people to know that it's okay to screw up sometimes and if *insert food here that won't trigger a downward spiral for you* keeps you on plan the rest of the time, etc etc.

If you read what I tell people, my firm belief is... "Okay, so what are you going to do tomorrow" because you cannot change what you did today. 

As I've said, my plan is long term. I was three-hundred and seventy-five freaking pounds in May of last year. I got there over the course of 30 years. I have to change my relationship with food and find peace within myself and my soul.

Anyway, I'm rambling for no apparent reason, my apologies for my part in all of this. I've had a craptastic week and probably took it out on you (and yeah, I had a little fun with the gummy bear thing too, in retrospect the whole thing just got out of hand - especially because I cannot stand those things myself, LOL).

I promise to be nice(r). Just leave my damned monthly air popcorn alone, will ya? It keeps me from eating chips, dips, pretzels and god knows what else. (snicker, sorry, maybe too soon for a joke, hoping I made you smile and not snarl).

Hopefully we can be friends - or at least you won't run me over with your car if you ever see me ;)

xoxo

Friends, Definitely!  

I'm not against popcorn - I am an avid fan of popcorn.  I'm against eating mindlessly.  

I'm going to substitute mindless sex for mindless eating!

:)

Ooohh, now mindless sex I could get behind (or on top of... or...)

Oh no!!! I love your posts and advice.  I guess I will have to track you down on some of your other sites.  But I hope you change your mind and stay!
