Re: Consuming huge quantities

[Guest guest]

Chuck,

You know I think you are great, but not only is your opinion

unprofessional, it's not even based on fact. The ice cream was eaten

in addition to regular meals as morning, afternoon and evening snacks

over a three day period from Friday afternoon to late Sunday night,

not at one sitting. Is it normal? On a holiday weekend, for someone

who had to end up here, yes.

And again, unless you have a degree in psychology or psychiatry, you

also are unqualified to be telling someone that they have a mental

disorder, and it is not your place to do so here. This is not

support. It is an attack.

Can we please drop this ridiculous thread?
