Sorry you were offended. I wsn't directing this at anyone in particular. I was talking about myself. When I slip up, I need a kick in the rear. I can make enough excuses for myself. I don't want anyone validating my bad behavior. I would like people to say, "ok, you messed up, now try this next time". or "hey, I've been there, what can we do to help"
I am sorry for all your problems. again, my post was about me. I wasn't attacking you or anyone else on this board.
Thanks for your post though. What a nice welcome. I won't be returning. Too bad, seemed like a good place to be.
Kerstin, Hey there. I just wanted to tell you that everything you wrote was very hard for me to read, but very true. I've been putting myself down for a couple weeks now over these "excuses". I want to see this board thrive and I want to see every person on this board thrive. The obesity problem in the U.S. is staggering to me and we ladies can start on the road to reversing this problem.
I agree that "getting real" is the only way to truly succeed. I also believe that that approach doesnt work for everyone. It obviously works for you, it works for me, but it's important to be sensitive to the fact that not everyone is in a place to hear tough love. Sometimes people just need an ear. This board should be a safe place for everyone so Im glad you voiced your thoughts.
