Guess what? This is for LIFE.

I am so SO angry at reading the posts from yesterday, and I don't care that it was edited to say that the advice was only a 'joke'.

This is a serious offence to me, as I previously was a laxative abuser. I have been terrified since becoming constipated August, with pain, to take a laxative, because I don't want to go down that road again. I am still in therapy, and trying hard to lose the last four pounds to see that 100 pounds lost as well....and have been sitting at my current weight (which is normal) for 6 months now. I haven't been able to make peace with that, as i'm afraid of regain. But am I turning to laxatives? No. Do I still drink my water....yes. I might not make it to my own goal, which is a head game number, and I know that. Again, this is why i'm in therapy.

Please don't post such advice again. You might think it's a joke, but it certainly wasn't to me, and it hurts to think it really could be taken as one. Also, someone could have actually taken that advice. When I was early out, I took advice left, right and centre. Including advice from one person who told me to eat sugar to test if I dum*****t. WTF??

(hug)  Your honesty about this serious issue touched my heart.  Thank you so much for sharing that Kelly.  Be well. XO

Thank you Karen. Therapy does do wonders. Some day I do hope to be at peace with myself.

You will be, Kelly. You have the determination and self-realization to make that happen.

Damn! Reading such posts, post-ovulation, not good for me...lol. TEARS!! ((((hugs))))

Oops!  Hugs, hugs, hugs! lol

I wish I had time to go through every post to find what you guys are talking about..

Don't bother.  It's been all moderated to **** anyway.

Some **** just never changes.

Mob mentality is never pretty.
 

Agreed - but where was the "mob mentality" exactly?  Oh, that's right.  There wasn't any.
