Obesity Support Group

Hello heart72,

You are obviously new to this group.

Best of luck to you.

well best of luck to you...

I just don't think it's best to say we're lazy, everyone has their reasons for their gains in weight and will work on them in their own way, a lot of us are doing it the natural way... I'm just not a big fan of these types of posts in the slightest, as I said I wish you the best of luck in your journey but I think it's a bit niave to bracket everyone together in the same way

Better be careful with a post like that, heart!!

Im taking the bait and going out on a limb here, seriously who the hell do you think you are calling me lazy?!?!?! You may be lazy, you may be the one who spends money on a hope pill, but dont try to make me feel bad b/c you have issues you cannot deal with within yourself! I could have hormonal problems that not only makes me gain weight but makes me infertile too...You dont know me!

When did you get the right to tell everyone the "reality" of the world today? This could be your reality but not everyone lives in "your reality". When did God tell you, you were better than me and tell me everything Im doing is wrong?
Those pills, herbs, and supplements are appetite suppressants. We are smart enough to find out these things on our own and we do not need some hateful advice to tell us otherwise....
If you dont agree with what someone is doing to their own body then dont comment but the comments with no source of support, and name calling will get NO WHERE!!!
I hope you lose the weight you want and I hope you find happiness within yourself.
Like all the other people said...Best of luck to you!

I can honestly say that I have never bought a diet pill or tea or whatever else you said. You said you don't meant to offend anyone??? Seriously did you call us all fat and lazy and not expect at least a few of us to get a little offended?

Round 3,458,000 let the games begin!!

I promised I would not partake...and I'm not. Hap is right, this person clearly didn't do much research on this group before posting this.

Hey heart...look up brittaggie04...she'll jump on your bandwagon!!!

Good luck!

Heart, I understand what you are trying to say as it has been said many many times before. Perhaps a more tactful way to say it is like I always do which is I am speaking for myself only.

Everyone has their own stuggles and reasons for their weight gain so it is wise only to speak for yourself about reasons that products for weight loss and things you have tried have not worked. As for exercise each and everyone of us knows our own reasons why we don't or are unable to exercise. Like I said before each person has to deal and face themselves in the mirror everyday. And each of us has to take our own steps in our own way to solve our own issues. I have the right to yell at myself, tell people I am not putting 100 percent into my weight loss and things like that. However I never have the right to tell anyone on here they are too lazy or simply just are looking for an easy way out to lose weight, or the reason they have gained weight in the first place, as I have not walked in their shoes so to speak.
As you saw from your post it did anger some people and I think the reason that happens is because you yourself have not walked in their shoes.

None the less I do understand the points you are trying to make and I am not offended in any aspect but like I said it might wise to talk about your opinions and how they effect you personally rather then include the majority of people in your beliefs. Some people have had success with natural products others none at all. My point is each person is unique and what might work for some may not work for another. None the less I always like to hear about things a person has tried such as products, different ways of exercise, new suggestions and so on. Just keep in mind not everyone is in the same boat as you are in and some will most likly take offense if you include them in your belief of being lazy,and not wanting to exercise or how they gained all the weight in the first place. Anyway those are just my thoughts on the matter hope you are having an awesome day:)

I don't see how being hopeful and vulnerable to the manipulation of moneymaking companies promising weight loss makes us lazy. It makes us human. Everyone wants to have hope and this is what these companies trade on. If people are sucked in it isn't their fault. The cynical manipulative company is the one at fault, not the desperate vulnerable person who is manipulated by them.

One tip: if you really don't want to insult people, then don't call them lazy. Because that is usually perceived as an insult.

why you guys letting this bother or offend you?

like come on, who are they that you must answer to? NOBODY.

You all know what you guys are doing to lose the weight and if you are or not lazy so who gives a rats ass what this ...whatever it is bother you?
