This is so pathetic, I never saw so many children in one thread as I have this one.
I do think that God gave you a mind to know when you are just being out and out judgementally rude. What's wrong with all of you?

I'm fat, I'm old and I am sure not a looker. Now, feel free to pitch in and start ragging on me.
Let the other girl rest now, It's my turn.

Divert your limited attention span now to picking apart what I just wrote about me.

Sorry, but I just had to post this one.
I'm fat, sassy and old, that's my excuss and I'm sticking to it

Interesting that you want to order from schwans, have internet service, a live in boyfirend, health club member ship and probably cable while on food stamps.  I have to borrow a computer, no internet, no cable, no health membership, save cans for cash and no food stamps and live by myself with kids.  Life is tough, yes, but don't rag on people for having an opinion on a life you put out on a public forum.  Not anones business, then don't dump your life on here.

Raven,

My dad always said there is no sense in being an asshole if you can't act like one and some of the pathetic pukes making these ignorant comments are surely showing their adeptness at being giant ******** You are a way better person than I the way you wish them success in their journeys. Not me. I hope they get fatter than hell again, lose their health and subsequently their jobs and their relationships and have to eat crow since that is all they'll have to eat because they are too damn good to take any assitance.

I am just sorry you felt the compulsion to give any of these pieces of crap even 2 seconds of your time. Not one of the nasty jerks deserve it. I'm not normally this sharp toned, but to see that some of these morons have nothing better to do other than stalk you and all your posts and try to use them against you is truly apalling.

I hope you hit the lottery.

Best to you!

Denise

"And as a heads up the US  gives away more money, and food stamps to immigrants and folks who are not even Americans..thats one of the reasons we are BROKE....give to our own."

I think that there are requirements for accepting food stamps that the online retailers do not meet.  You can get protein as some grocery stores and at Walmart.  You can also check with local health food stores.  Why not email some of the online dealers and ask if they can take food stamps.

Do you know what it says about a person when they have to use food stamps?  It says that they have to use food stamps.  Nothing else.  We are all just a few paydays or an accident or illness away from being on welfare. 

Keep you head up and use your surgery as a means to becoming more healthy.  As you get healthier I hope you will be able to find a job that you can do.  For now, just take good care of yourself.

To Nik, Pam and everyone else who have been so nice as to truly provide help to someone who was simply asking an innocent question, thank you so much for your kind words and back up.  I HATE that I am on any sort of government assistance and the state of my finances. 

To those who acted like sharks after blood, your god and your karma is up to you.  I choose not to buy in to your lack of compassion and seriously inhumane ways.  May you NEVER have to be in a situation such as mine and I honestly consider myself lucky and blessed despite it all. 

I wish you all (even the negative ones) sucess on your journey.  I leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the Dalai Lama, "My religion is kindness."  If only the rest of the world felt that way.

Well, because I report each and every dollar that comes into my household to my social worker and I take NO cash assitance to which I was told I could get and am eligible for.  I get enough money in food stamps to pay for food for myself and my son.  My income and that of my household is less than $1,100 a month.  I couldn't afford to break my damn lease, so I took people in to help keep my son and I off the streets!  My legal household consists of myself and my son.  My ex and his girlfriend are legally considered a separate household.  My boyfriend is considered a separate household.  We all live together because we can't afford places on our own.  My ex-husband's girlfriend was laid off from her job in January, my ex-husband's and my boyfriend's jobs just cut their hours to less than 30 hours per week.  Neither of them have high paying jobs and they pay for their own damn bills. My boyfriend CHOSE to give me a gift and I'm so sorry that his $60 gift seems to make you think I'm some sort of horrible person.  My mother chooses to gift me with supplements and WLS food that I can't get in the stores.

Seriously, I'm done with you, this board, and having to justify my state of poverty to you.

I am a 56 year old very overweight woman. I have to loose 140 pounds to just be able to get to a healthy weight.
I am trying with everything in me to do this the diet way (lifestyle) but it takes so much longer when you have difficulties that go along with the extra weight. I do good just to walk through the house sometimes. If I could use the little electric thingies to get around in WalMart, I would have to get to WalMart first. Some people don't understand all of the things that become so difficult to do when you have gained so much weight. Oh yes, my weight gain came on in just the last 3 years. I am way into the change of life and beleive you me, the weight comes on even if you still eat like you always have. And it's on you long before you even realize it. I will admit this and yes, it does embarrase me to tell it. I can barely whipe my behind. It is one of the many things that most folks do not even comprehend that comes with obesity. You ought to see me get up off of the sofa, LOL! Heeve Hoe, here we go, LOL! My knees sure do not like it at all!
My toilet hates me. I actually have to literally fall just to sit down to potty. It's the knees. I have tore down the cartlege in them...not bad but they are not the same. I hope with the weight loose that I get my knees back

And this I wanted to add after reading through this thread. I too have been a hard worker over my lifetime. I was raised like most folks here in the good old USA. But let me tell you, if it wasn't for medicaid and FS (and yes, welfare for 1 year) I would not have my oldest with me right now. He would have died when he was an infant. Thanks to medicaid, he got through many a hodpital stay and has lived to tell the story. We worked while on all of this except for the one year when we had no other choice. No way was I going to starve my kids because of stupid pride. I gave into this system and now I needed to receive from it, even if for just a while. Right now I have no insurance (not on any benefits) and hubby is 70 on SS and stills works a 40 hour week. We do not have enough for me to afford insurance and we make to much for me to do anything else to be able to medically take care of me (hubby is on medicare and it ain't much, but it is something). I am one of those who fall through the cracks. I pray everyday for God to get me through this time and allow me to stay healthy.
Sorry for writting so much. And yes, sometimes we all need that extra help. I think God would hold us accountable if we let pride get in the way of doing the smart thing and take care of these bodies with what ever He has there for us when we need.

I didn't state that people with no photos were stupid. I stated that those who are making the ignorant statements ON THIS THREAD are hiding behind avatars and profiles with no photos as a convenient way of not putting a face to their ignorance.

Which means......I wasn't talking to you!
