Sick and Disgusted!

This kind of thing happens on any board or with any group.   When I was morbidly obese, I was a member of a Big and Beautiful group.  Size Acceptance.   Same type of drama. On OH, we have ONE thing in common.....WE ARE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY PATIENTS OR CONSIDERING IT!  That's it folks...one common denominator. Same with the Big & Beautiful group....one common denominator...we were all fat!  
Eventually, we begin to meet the people who post....some we like, some we don't....that's life!!  We aren't all going to be great buds with everyone here because we all have different personalities and likes and dislikes!!  That some of us tend to meet more often or have bonded in deeper friendships by no means makes it a clique or that we like someone else less.  We may share an inside joke, but rarely do I see that, but one thing I know....all of us, everyone....is here to support each other....no discriminations....just guide and support!

One more comment.....the internet is a funny thing....you can't tell if a person is joking or how they intended something to come out.  It's just words on a screen.  Give people the benefit of the doubt and LIGHTEN UP on how some people post their messages.

That's it.

Hey all-

I'm so sorry if I offended anyone.....I broke my own rule on PMing the person instead of putting it on the boards.....It was a bad day for me yesterday and I was angry and stood up for a friend....I should have PM'd this person yesterday instead of putting it out on the boards.....I apologise.......

As for RP/Elmer- Gosh I hope I don't come off arrogant.....I get so darned excited when a smaller size fits, etc......And the swimsuit challenge was very difficult for me to post, I hope it didn't seem like I was bragging or what not....Never in a million years did I think I would wear a bikini......I may have to re-think what I post.....Arrogance isn't in me......I'm actually kinda shy.....But my confidence has been building with this wonderful new life......I take no offence, no hard feelings.....

Okay, Lets get back to :)

Love , Kelly

Hey Hon!  Been there done that!  AND I learned from it!!  I stood up here for a friend and now have learned to keep my mouth shut.  I am now just trying to keep the peace around here~ hoping to get back to the basics of we all had WLS and come here for support, to give or recieve, to celebrate or rejoice in success or hitting a milestone!!  WoooHooo!!
OK~ let's return to your regularily scheduled programming

Kelly:

I missed whatever it was yesterday, but you have always come across in a sweet, positive, caring way.   The vast majority of the people here are wonderful, supportive peope like you who wouldn't know how to be arrogant if they tried.  I was actually really impressed that you posted your bikini pictures.....it took courage to do that because you never know what people will say.  Please don't stop being yourself here because I somehow managed to have my head up my arse when I was trying to compliment Sandie.
