I thought this was supposed to be a support group. Comments like 'So
stay
fat' etc are not supportive.

People who show up and post their reasons for staying fat aren't going
to find support here. People who are interested in making changes and
taking control will.


Idiot! I'd be interested in making changes if I could expect them to be
permanent. Studies have shown that diets aren't permanent solutions.
I'm guessing you're another one who's not really fat and just enjoys
pestering people who are fat with your "do what I say or get out"
attitude.

That's right - we don't advocate diets here, but PERMANENT CHANGES in
our way of eating and way of life.


If you've made permanent changes to your diet, you don't need this place.
Sounds like you're constantly having to rediet to reduce your weight.
You've got the same problem as the morbidly obese. Your diet only works
temporarily. It's just that your problem is on a smaller scale.


Nope. I've been at goal weight for a long time. I hang around here to
share my perspective on weight loss. Without and "oldtimers", there would
just be a bunch of newbies and a bunch of spam.


Did you ever think that some people don't want to be as rigid as you are?
Your attitude... it just seems like you have a lot of contempt for anyone
who doesn't have your iron will. As for making a home on a newsgroup. I've
seen the phenomenon before. Newsgroups are supposed to be public,
unmoderated. You and some of your friends have appointed yourselves
moderators. You can't delete posts, but I think you try to make people
miserable if they don't agree with the gist of your plan and your dieting
beliefs. If you're not trying to moderate this newsgroup, why do you keep
telling me to leave? I'm not selling anything. I'm just giving my opinion.
