Awesome! You can be the next spokesperson for the new "AllDeaf Diet"!You know that during distress (for me) I lost a pound and a half. That's how bad I felt about the entire thing.
You shouldn't let people bring you down, but you should also keep an open mind about what other members share with you.
While some members may say things that you will disagree with, it shouldn't mean that they should be considered your enemies or that what you're doing is an absolutely horrible thing.
Everyone has their own opinion of how things are done.
If you feel that everyone (I mean... EVERYONE) is opposed to what you say, then you can simply stop talking about it since you know that you're not going to get anywhere.
Not everything can be expected to go your way.
Even I have made threads in the past where no one replied to it or everyone took the thread the wrong way. I simply ignored it knowing that I wouldn't get anywhere and that I might try a different approach at a later time.

Well ... it that a good news for you or not? I lost about 18 lbs in past two week. I'm 5'6" and now weight 108 lbs. I don't need to complain here. Why you're acting if you're blaming us for your "own" distress. You need a break and start to learn to take care of yourself!!! You're an ADULT! You DON'T need us to tell you what you NEED for the future. Ofc you can put me in your ignore list anyway.
Welcome back, Aquablue. We need more John McCain supporters including me.
I have no doubt that McCain will be our next president. No doubt at all.
We all go thru that kind of situation where it gets you emotional, disstress, whatever you want to name it. I went thru that and even said I was leaving. Sure, Alldeaf is like a Drug. Its an addiction. I'm stuck with it. glad you're back. just remember, most people will not agree with you, they'll say something harsh. just deal with it and move on. I'd do the same and it does hurt sometimes depending on who. we just can't change people, you just be who you are and NEVER let anyone change you.
stay strong!
You are gonna freak out. In the last month in a half, guess how weight I have lost? 75 pounds!!
Unfortunately for you, when you encounter discouraging instructors, and later, discouraging clients, you won't be able to put them on an ignore list. You'll have to learn how to cope with them.In order to not read anymore discouraging word, I have place a half a dozen members, who have kicked me when I was down (instead of forgiving me) on my ignore list. That way I would not be exposed to their discouragment.
You started your own thread in General Health and here is the quote
"On January 7th of this year (2008) I had major operation- Gastric By-Pass surgery. Prior to the operation I weighed 300 pounds at 5' 7". As of today (February 18, 2008), I weight 240 pounds! That's 60 pounds!!
I will start exercising using the band resistance equipment in order to also gain some muscle definition."
So how can your 75 pound weight drop be the soul fault of the AD forum???
