1. I never said it was okay or they deserved it, I said you shouldn't beat someone up, but a little understanding of someone's different choices goes a long way. As I have posted, probably 900 times --- my basic plan is the same as the militant folks here. That's what's SO FREAKING FUNNY to me. I just allow myself some lattitude a couple of times per month and when I screw up, I pick myself up and go on.Frankly, this hurt. I sent you a PM to take it off the board.
And I'm taking a break. Rob and the rest of you crazy people, you win. I give. This isn't worth it. I refuse to share my experiences when you have insanity like this going on. I'll be around some other boards, but this one has become toxic for me.
Say what you will, Lisa, but I am successful. I started at 375 freaking pounds. I'm a 37-year-old female. I've lost 184 pounds in 15 months. Those that get there sooner, more power to them, but not everyone has the same path and most get there at the same rate I have.
One day you'll find that out. Hopefully not, my wish for you is that you're the biggest loser in the history of this board, but it's freaking hard work.
Frankly, I don't allow people (not even myself) to beat myself or my friends up anymore. I'm done. Those that love me know, where else to find me. The rest... best of luck for a while. I just refuse to listen to this crap for a while, I'll be back later perhaps, but a mental health break is in order.
To the OP - I'm glad you are getting it. There are foods that are not allowed in my house. Ever again. They trigger me. Good luck, you'll do well, it's hard to face those demons. Really hard. xoxo
I don't know what this is all about..... didn't see the post......
There was a point that you and I could have gone either way and I ended up liking you and respect your opinions and accomplishments.
If you do take a break or not...... You better PM me first when you have surpassed my 190lbs. WL.
As much as I hate getting beat at anything...... I want to see you pass me up and get more !!!

I've always liked you Frisco, you're a smart ass - much like I am. Gets us into trouble sometimes though ;) LOL
I'm up a few pounds (being a girl SUCKS!) but I don't record those because it'll be gone in another week... I'll catch you before Halloween, if not sooner, for sure. :p
Not going anywhere, just taking a week or two off from reading a lot here. Like I said, I'm obviously taking it all too personally.

Well this is some real bull**** I do not even know what to say except insanity exists so OH is no exception. I didn't even read the crazy post and I'm pissed off. I've loved following your progress. I've especially loved how you loved your progress in spite of huge setbacks and challenges. You're a champ.
As far as not agreeing I'm pretty much on the same page as you in that i think tone and high handedness are very available to all here and a little velvet glove is a good balance.
This is a hard journey for everyone i especially hate folks early out tripping over themselves and then getting punched fight club style on here, so that they never come back. Making people feel stupid or always addicts is not necessarily productive. And bullying is never ok.
Are you getting that I'm blocked by the same personalities as you are, despite having no direct interaction with them, because...well, why bother. Geographically there is way too much ground in between.
A break is a good thing as long as it's on your own terms. You will be missed as you are a great voice on this forum. I do understand that even without this catastrophic pettiness and bone headedness you've had a hard week and need time to regroup.
Hey you know what although i have never used it i hear there's this thing called the BLOCK button, that can be used.
Hurry back and I'm so sorry you had to deal with this.

Thanks for posting this -- I can completely identify with you. I, too, am/was a volume eater. I could not NOT finish something -- even if I was stuffed. I can relate to destroying food because I knew if I didn't, I would eat it...pouring salt on cake, spraying food with Lysol, etc. This is an addiction, and it's HARD to control it. I'm working on it everyday.
Thanks for being honest.

Thank you for your post, in two ways. One is, of course, what you meant it to be. A story relating to what many of us are or have gone thru. I see myself in your post and being preop, can relate, knowing I need to find solutions to binge eating before my surgery so I can be successful. Two, I thank you for your post because I do see Rob, Frisco, Jenn and Allison as "royalty". They have been at this awhile and have knowledgable advice. Maybe for some, Rob's tone was a bit harsh, but for me, I saw him as being concerned for someone who just had surgery and could harm themselves. And maybe some of us (like myself), need a stiff kick in the butt once in awhile to get back on track. I would have appreciated it had it been directed at me....that's all :)
Again, thank you for your insightful post.

now I offically love you! 
Hey there!
Without getting into OH politics, I'd just like to say one of the struggles I have daily is to throw food away. I do it as a choice now. As a choice to a worser alternative which is for me to indulge in the guilt you are referring to for not eating something.
I know it goes back to my childhood. We were poor. Food was scarce and to be appreciated. This is something I work with my counselor on. I have the power to choose something better for myself and my body. (also my family)
So, there are carbs that get trashed in my house. Once a waitress send hubby home with an extra piece of cake for me because I was sick. Sat in the fridge for 2 days. I ate a bite then gave it to my mother-in-law.
It's ok to throw food away. Value yourself more than the food. I'm just phrasing things in this manner because this is what goes through my head. I do not have that level of addiction but we're all at varying levels.
Keep up the good work and keep being real with yourself!
