Good for the Goose?
So let me get this straight. If we want to copy and post a thread like this one:
http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/a,messageboard/action, replies/board_id,5479/cat_id,5079/topic_id,3698526/
Out on the Messageboard and have a big laugh at your expense, that would be ok? 
It's not like we don't see this stuff. We just have the maturity to not act like a six year old about it.
Is this stuff about you fair game? You've worked on your hygiene, now how about those common manners?

Post Date: 8/15/08 6:15 am Hey Toddy, Like the others said, thanks for sharing this experience as it brought back some big-time bad memories for me and helps reinforce my motivation to never let myself to get obese again. Prior to WLS, my hygiene was horrid and I smelled like (and looked like) one of the hogs back on the farm. Not only could I not keep the nether regions clean, I sweat like a pig if I just walked 100 feet to the restroom. From a job perpective, I was fortunate since, the last couple of years prior to WLS, I was a computer programmer, had an office and would sit at my terminal all day with literally no interaction with other people. I can remember though that I got on a BM schedule where I would have my BMs in the morning prior to my shower at home knowing I couldn't clean myself adequately if I had one at work. One of my worst moments from a hygiene perspective was when I was riding in an elevator with my boss and I got the urge to **** couldn't control it and pissed my pants before we hit the 30th floor for a meeting we had with a customer. Let me tell you it wasn't just a tinkle, it was a frickin' flood. My boss was really cool about it like it sounds yours is, but I was humiliated as you can imagine. After that, I really tried my best to avoid any and all situations like that again. I came up with excuse after excuse why I couldn't attend off-site meetings let alone travel out of town. Effectively, I became a recluse. So, hang in there and do your best to work the problem as you're doing. I found that most people are very understanding although there are some dickweeds who'll give you a hard time every now and then. Once the weight comes off, it's an entirely new life man. I now take a lot of pride in my hygiene, appearance, clothes and the like. Best of luck, Boner |
By all means, take this hygiene post of mine and run with it sister. As a matter of fact, I consider the hygiene thread one of the most inspirational threads we've ever had in the locker room. Personally, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I shared this obviously embarrassing experience of mine in order to support a WLS brother.
So with that being said, kindly hit the trail and try to not embarrass yourself with such assinine posts in the future.

Might as well add that Boner has the discipline to exercise and now looks like this. From extreme physical limitation to 100 mile bike rides. What a success story!:
