Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I think it's fine to post about events and problems in our lives when they relate to our food Path. I also think our spiritual/religious practices, whatever they may be, are extremely important and shouldn't be withheld. My post yesterday elicited apologies from some wonderful folks who really don't need to apologize for anything. Isn't that always the way? As women, esp. fat women, we've spent our lives feeling guilty for opening our mouths, for taking up space, for existing. Some of us take on the role of trying to make things right. The most humble of us are always the first to apologize. The people I'm talking about aren't saying anything and I don't expect them to. But whatever side of the abuse equation they're on, they Know what I'm saying. You Know if you feel uneasy when you run into someone at a meeting. You Know if you feel dread when you see that person's email address on the list. And you Know very well if you're getting your jollies from manipulating/hurting someone else. That is some VERY fat karma. Love Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Dear Martha, I have no idea what you are talking about, being from Southern California I don't go to support meeting up your way. However, part of human nature is to take things in ways others do not, one song can mean 100 things to 100 different people. A tiff with another person is a personal thing, if it is exploited on the board our moderators quiickly do their job and take care of it. This is an outstanding board for information and emotional release. I appreciate your grouchiness however, I have no idea what you were talking about, and anyone you are not feuding with is probably in the dark also. So I hope getting it off your chest made you feel better, and try to have a great rest of the week.
