last nights horrible horrible reality strike

[horcruxes]

you obviously arent good at "just kidding" if you were.

Also.. a joke is when the other person is laughing too. that was just mean

other people are laughing. they're just not posting.
they want me to take the heat for it.

I thought you were leaving.....I thought that was the point of these: **

you're bringin' bitchy back.

lets tussle!

kelly i can completely identify with your issue. i'm going through a similar one myself. its so hard to fix because when you feel that down how do you get the energy and most importantly enough self esteem to believe, really believe you can do something about it? your not alone at all. seems to me by the weight issues going on in america were most of us on here seem to live that there are more people with "weight" issues than not. and even the most beautiful people i have ever known have had lower self esteems than myself. you have a family that loves you and a forum that loves you and you are worth what ever you desire. and the people who have negitive comments for you should just be proof that so many people have trouble in there hearts or soul or whatever. if they didn't they wouldn't feel the need to bring someone else down, hiding in humor or not, just to make themselves feel powerful. good luck.

i'm not trying to make myself feel powerful. i never once said i DIDN'T have a weight problem. i just tend to be a bit more discreet about my self image issues. maybe thats because i think that it really isn't complete stranger's business to know what i think about myself.

1. She started this thread about a problem she's was dealing with. Go start your own thread.
2. I want a stripper pole, that's fricking awesome. If that, of all things,' offends you, why are you here, why don't you whine to a mod, or get off the net altogether.
3. *STAY THERE*

1. i don't have any reason to share my problem with you people.
2. i don't whine to mods. i leave the whining to killthesmiley. she's got that covered.
3. *what are you going to do if i don't?*

Talking about personal things in public is a risk that comes with certain consequences. You can't expect the world to be gumdrops and lollipops. KTS took the risk of posting something personal in public and in doing so accepted the consequences of her actions. My feelings on the matter are irrelevant, but I think that if KTS wasn't expecting this to happen then she is pretty naive.

Either way, this thread is now a Chat vs. Forums thread from here on out.

Let the battle begin!

I'm from the IRC where we kill kittuns and step on puppies.

Instead of crying over this, maybe you should instead be happy and extremely relieved that your "overindulgence" during your pregnancy did not result in gestational diabetes and/or other health complications for yourself, and more importantly, for your child.

If you were receiving adequate prenatal care during your pregnancy (and since you live in Canada, I'll assume you were as it's free), your doctor would have explained to you the possible ramifications of a weight gain of that magnitude. If he/she did not, report them to the CMA immediately.

When you post something on a busy public forum, you must expect replies containing varying opinions. When posting something of such a personal nature on a busy public forum, you must also expect replies from those who are offended by it and respond accordingly.

I've read some good advice here regarding suggestions for a complete change in your eating habits. To really be proactive, you might also seek the help of a nutritionist (and a NEW doctor!). Exercise is of course a must. I would suggest a beginner Aquafit or Water Aerobics class -- they are low cost, low impact, work pretty much every part of your body, and would be a great opportunity to possibly make friends. I have been a swimmer my entire life, and took a prenatal Aquafit class during almost my entire pregnancy. It was so great, I have continued Aquafit for over 2 yrs after giving birth. Most YM & YWCA's offer them.

Finally, I have to agree with something here. I personally can not understand how one would physically be able to order and eat 8 hamburgers... and keep them down! I know people do it at county fairs in contests for example, but I guess I have always assumed that as soon as it's over they are puking their heads off. I just can't wrap my mind around the physical act of doing it.

It disturbs me how quickly we (forum members) are willing to let a conversation deteriorate into a “YouTube like” battle. Isn’t that one of the reasons we’re here in the first place - to escape that environment?
This is the second time I’ve had to post a reminder that there is a certain expected decorum for forum interaction. If you haven’t read it, it’s under “Forum Etiquette, Rules and Policies” which can be found here: http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1169
Read it, embrace it, live it.

Well, I used to be semi-overweight, then I started taking Adderall for my ADHD and I lost about 20 pounds in about 4 weeks. I was 14 and I went from 140lbs to 120lbs. And I had a lot of trouble maintaining that 120lbs. I think I got down to 115lbs once, and that was severely unhealthy. Only recently has it gotten to the point where my ribs are not clearly visible, I have gained 10lbs, and I am working out more....LOL I guess my problem is kind of the opposite, but I do understand where you are coming from. I was so weak at first I could barely walk without starting to gag (like from overexertion). Apparently, my body ate away a lot of my muscle mass. My BMI is about 17...which is really low...xD.

What I am getting at Kelly, is that if I can gain the weight, you sure as hell can lose it! It has taken me 4 years to gain back half of the weight I lost in 4 weeks, and I bet you can beat me! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Nice try.....that halo is not nearly big enough to convince us.

fat people aren't allowed in the IRC anyway. so if you came we'd boot you.

JAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY KAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY

That was rude and uncalled for, and if that's how Kelly was treated in chat, then I understand her complaint.

'mute

actually that was directed (j/k-ingly of course) towards cuddlebunni

in all seriousness.... i will share my own experience with weight issues and not being able to fit into your clothes.

when i was 9 i was rather fat. regular girls' clothes wouldn't fit me anymore and my mom was pissy with me about it. so she dragged me into JC Penny's and asked a guy working there "where's the Chubby Girl's section?" (I think back in her day, there really was a line of clothing for fat girls called "chubby girls") And the sales guy says... "We don't call it Chubby Girls anymore, now it's 'Pretty Plus'"

So if it makes you feel any better, think of yourself as "Pretty Plus". or don't. but being 85 pounds overweight is a serious problem and feeling sorry for yourself, crying, barfing, etc. won't solve it. you'll just get stressed and eat more. Sphinx gave you some good advice. See a doctor. Do some water aerobics. Go for walks. Eat less. I know people that have dropped a lot of weight just by cutting out soda and other sugary drinks and replacing it with water. You need to do something...

Wow, that story was harsh about your mom! People just don't realize how they can scar someone by comments like that.

So the fact that it was directed at me instead of kelly makes it less rude or uncalled for? wow I guess that makes me less of a human being

anyways, I understand where those of you are coming from by saying that kelly should have expected some criticism for posting this topic and her struggles.. BUT, there is a difference between constructive criticism and being darn right rude and saying inappropriate things. Thats all Im saying.

The members of this forum should be able to debate and disagree, but I think we should do it in a civil way, know what I mean?

Im pretty shocked this hasnt been locked yet, as some really unneccessary things have been said. Kelly has requested it be locked several times.. Im confused as to why the mods are leaving it open for more flaming to happen.

*walks in all tall and cool*

whos been flaming lol
