What we are eating and what's eating us.Wednesday.
Cheryl,you made me laugh,thanks,I needed that. It is so great to have you around again.
I would feel so detached and sad,not everyday,but a lot without having this special place to come to.
OFF belongs to us all,the person that signed into today has as much right as anyone who has been here forever....gotta love it!
I never did look ,to anyone on here for vitamins,protein drinks, etc. I ask only for feedback.I tend to welcome feedback from people who are successful with their own WLS
The information I can get here,I can get many other places. There is no need for anyone here to get a blown up sense of self importance because they know how to research and cut and paste.
I think it bothers me when people know so much,but never get their weight goals and do not seem to be working on it,as this is a weight loss site,in anyway you chose,but for me,that is the bottom line as to why I am here.
Cheryl,thanks for listening,and I guess I am reacting to PM's I have received telling me how I should "run" this thread. I have said time and again,anyone can start this thread,it is not"my" thread,it is ours. The few times this has happened,I contribute my food,thoughts,and laughter for that day.
The one poster I receive these emails from needs to back away,for I am not above making a compaint for harassment. I do not know why they would like to control me,or dislike me.
I really care about you guys,and want to especially thank George,Annette,Brenda,and Connie for helping me in a new phase for me,maintaining my weight,all my life I have been on my way up,or on my way down. I never thought I would have this stability I have found through all of you. There is not a person here I can not learn from,who is not valuable.
To the person who is harassing me, I am not freaking out and running any where.
The only other thing I have to say is those that can,do,and those who can not,*****moan,jab and complain.
I am sorry you are so unhappy.
I do not agree that the cheapest foods do not have protein. I am poor,and I feed more mouths than mine. Perhaps they need to research a complete list of foods with protein. There are always sales on yogurt,meat,beans,and eggs to mention a FEW protein items.
Someone who has WLS and says they can not find food,is just using one more rationalization why they can not be successful.
Someone who states they are doing emotional eating for a day,a week,I understand,for a year or so,I do not. This is called living in your illness.
I want to compliment you on your ongoing decision to be healthy and picking yourself off,dusting yourself off,being honest and starting over again,or as Annette would say realizing it is a new day and you can start again.
Thank you,thank all of you.

Hey there Honey Girl,
OK, what the heck is going on here?(she says tapping her foot with hands on hips) I don't know what's been going on, while I have been at work all day, behind the scenes or who the heck is PMing you that crap, but I like the way you do this thread and now I am wondering if someone needs a flick on the forehead (not you, but whomever is causing grief). When you are away and ask Brenda or one of our other members to take it over for a while, I appreciate that they take it on (love ya Bren) and take care of this important thread while your away...However, I would miss having you do this thread if you stayed away longer than just a break kinda time...you do it perfect...I have been helped, nudged and reassured so many times here and I know that checking in here and making a connection even if it isn't acknowledged, (on other threads, cause you seem to always acknowledge everyone on this thread, you are so good.) keeps me feeling like I am not in this all alone...I don't understand some people and I suppose it isn't my job to, but Miss Linda, ignore the negative crap and keep doing what you do. I have been here for over 2 years, longer than some and much shorter than others, but this has enriched my journey and I appreciate that you are here and hope you will continue to be here. Well, if you can figure out what I just wrote then you'll know how I feel about you and what you do here.
Linda Lou, you do a great great job! Here's a hug...and you know about my hugs right?
Cheryl

OK,Cheryl,I am sitting up here with Olivia,both of us on our computers,plus spending time with each other (family unit,2009,LOL).
Then I read your message,and it is Niagra Falls,if that makes me weak by some people's estimation,so be it.
Yes,you have allowed me some glimpses into your soul and I am honored.
I was not going to say anything about the PM's,but the more diplomatic I become,the more agressive this creature becomes.
I am saving all of the PM's.
I wrote you because my heart was full,and you have a way about you,a softness,a spituality,a sense of fairness,and you are easy to talk to.
I was going to erase it,because quite frankly,our little forum has had too much airing of dirty laundry,and I know it is old school,but I always think "what about the person who wanders in for help,what would they think,would they want to stay around and get to know us"????
I will be ok,I am strong,it seems there is a group rule here,and I am not allowed to block anyone if I want to run this thread,which I do not mind not doing,as long as it keeps going. I remember when OH put those buttons in and why. The main forum was going up in flames!! They also put in the work a round,but it seems if I want to start a posting everyday,I must allow anyone access to my thoughts,which by the way is not OH's rules,I checked.
So,I was going to erase my message to you and just use the feelings of release just from writing,to let it be cathartic in itself.
Olivia told me to submit it.
I know how special your hugs are....smile...thank you so much,I appreciate it so very much.
I have consulted someone in the OH adminstration,guess what they said..block them....LOL.
I am not going anywhere,there is a wealth of people here,and you are one of them.
I am not prone to hysterics,although I am emotional.
I just hope this person becomes spent,and leaves me alone. Time here does not imply ownership.
I get so much from people here,and I make mistakes,and own them.
I am so happy I was able to make peace with someone else here, and I feel it is growth,I am about that.
If it gets too deep,or outwardly racist, I will proceed as I see fit.
Hugs back to you little one. You are so kind.

Linda, I love the beans and ham with cornbread and greens. My husband likes me to make him some fried potatoes with his beans. I like a big fat purple onion and slices of fresh tomato and maybe some okra. That is what I'd make if all the kids were here, but since it's just hubby and me, we will settle for the beans with hocks, and some cornbread. YUMMY.
Shoot, I grew up on beans and ham or beans and rice or beans and potatoes. My mother could make a meal out of greens with bacon in them and cornbread. LOL. She could also make the best damn dressing with the neck bone of chicken. I guess it's the southern in me, but we eat poor but rich.
Oh, Jeannie, can I please come eat at your house. I will bring enough Beano for me and everyone. LINDA, come with me! I love beans and ham-hocks and cornbread. My husband HATEs beans...legumes. He won't even try a bite. I make really good beans too. I have made some up and put them in the freezer so I may just get some out during my 5 days off and I will be able to toot to my hearts content.
Gosh, Jeannie, my i-pod and beans now...what would I do without ya?
Oh and your fresh watermelon....please can I come over?
