That is understandable. I think that if you can relax a little more
about
the comments that people are writing then you'd understand that they are
not
being mean or critical. Without having the whole picture of what you
like
to
eat or your activities, it is hard to give you advice. Remember, we are
total strangers. It would be helpful it you were more receptive to the
comments made. Just file them away for another day without responding
back
that you won't/don't/can't do that. I think that is what Ray was
refering
to
when he said he felt that you were playing games with us. You come and
ask
for help, yet you have responded back to many of us with a reason why
our
ideas won't work. This can be viewed as a game.

Many others agree with me that some people are being over-critical and not
helpful. I am being extreemely receptive to people and kind and polite,
and
thanking everyone. I don't know what more I can do. Some people DO
critisise-It's just how some people are, and I am simply telling those
people that although I am grateful for their comments, they really aren't
helping. I do not understand why anyone would think I'm playing a game. I
think that's really unfair. Remember that although I want support and
advice, there are some thing that all fat people know and it gets annoying
when I hear it over and over again even when I've explain many times in
this
thread why those particular comments are not helping.

Ok let's forget this thread and I'll leave the group because I'm obviously
upsetting people, and getting upset myself.

Thanks anyway Laura and all others who have tried to help me. I've read a
lot of good comments and very helpful advice, which I have made a record
of
and will be using some of in the near future.

Good luck everyone with their quest to lose weight.
Geoff.
