gee... thanks!

Cyn, I don't post here anymore, but I saw this thread and felt really
sympathetic. This is not a very supportive ng at all, at the moment. It
has been quite different from time to time in the past, but at the moment
this group is prone to name-calling, "tough love," and ignorant
calorie-counting regardless of health considerations. My advice is to read
this post and then run away :-)


With all due respect, she doesn't want to do the work for herself. She
wants someone to take her hand and coddle her. Is that how you lost
weight? Are you going to hold her hand while she wallows in sself pity?

I have more sympathy than you could ever imagine, believe me. But, when
someone looks at the world as wanting someone to save them, do you
honestly think that person will be successful at waight loss? Be honest
about it.

Reality is a harsh mistress, we should know that by adulthood.
