Americans are fat.

[Remy]

It didn't last because there were always plenty of people like you to remind them that you thought they were ugly, just in case all the movies and TV shows hadn't got that message across to them. Heaven forbid they feel good about themselves for a few minutes.

I'll bet you make fun of cancer patients, too. Maybe you'd like to find some pictures of cancer patients who have lost their hair and tell us how terrible they look. Then you can wonder aloud how they could have allowed themselves to get cancer when there's so much information around about it.

We all know who you quoted doesn't like fat people. And I don't dislike PJ. I just don't like some of his comments in this area.

I've said it before, you can abuse your spouse and kids, leave the house looking good and society will like you; You're a good person! Gag!

Also your comment about cancer patients isn't off the mark. It was discussed on KGO Newstalk once by a guest who stated statistics of how many spouses leave an afflicted spouse who develops cancer. And you know what? Many years ago, it happened to a co-worker of mine. Her husband asked her to move out of the house after she was diagnosed with cancer. This is a true story.

No all are fat, I recently have lost 40 pounds from a 42 jeans to a 32 jeans just by cutting back on quantity consumed of food, also I have lost a lot of my appetite since my surgery 4-6 that really started all of the loss I admit, I love it!!

I never got that lucky ... I lost 60 pounds over about two years in the same manner but. I only went from a tight 42 down to a comfortable 40 pants ....

Hey Della,
Somehow I missed this post you made.
From your other posts I wrongly assumed that you wanted to lose weight, which was why I offered to support you if you wanted to try again. Clearly from reading this post I assumed wrong.

I would have sent you a private message but you have that turned off which was why I wrote my post to you here.

You haven’t posted since you last posted in this thread . I sincerely hope you weren’t offended by my offer to support you. If I had seen this post of yours, I wouldn’t have done that.

I apologize if my post made you uncomfortable. It seems to be something I’m quite good at.

Anyway, I hope you return either way.

Hi Patty!

I didn't know my private messages were turned off and I don't see where to turn them on so I'll look into that.

You didn't say anything wrong at all. I was just getting discouraged over the whole conversation. I felt like people thought I must be either stupid or lying, plus I knew I was being a downer to anyone who might be looking here for inspiration.

I figured it was just a matter of time before some skinny person suggested I keep celery sticks in the fridge for when I felt hungry, in which case I might have blown another gasket.

So I just went away for a bit.

Thanks for checking on me!

Hey Della,
I can relate to how you feel but in different circumstances, different topic etc.

It can be very frustrating especially if your experience is so far from what the average person experiences, your experience gets questioned or even possibly disqualified.

People won’t call you a liar but might think you’re highly exaggerating. I’m familiar with that feeling. When I read your last post, I figured you were on your last straw.

I had to laugh at the skinny comment and suggestions of celery sticks. Lol. In our weight loss challenge thread there was a similar post. I almost commented back but didn’t.

If you change your mind and do want to join us I’ll get the thread for you.

I’m glad you are feeling better and come back to post. It’s nice to see you again.
