Re: Pam's response to: Diet pills...Anyone? (are you nuts!?)

[Guest guest]

Pam,

Yeah, I know people have addiction issues. I do too. I was put on diet

pills at age 11...and had to kick the habit cold turkey when I was 13.

In the past 3 years I've seen various ways to cheat to lose the 10%;

I've seen people swapping tips on how to scam the system; and just

when I think I've seen it all, someone comes up with a new scheme.

We're not just sad, hurting, and mistreated fat people. Some of us are

also con artists--it goes with addiction.

But sometimes support means giving someone a kick in the rear end.

So sometimes as a recovering fat person I feel it is my duty to say

" cut the crap " . After I do there are usually plenty of sensitive gals

who will apologize for my nastiness and say nice, codependent,

placating things...so she can relax, categorize me as a big meanie,

and go on doing the same thing again.

Please understand--I like you a lot, and appreciate your posts. I hear

what you're saying to me. But in this case I'm on a mission, and

sarcasm is part of it.

If my posts offend the rules of this uncensored list, I expect to be

warned so I can reconsider and make amends. For the rest of you,

there's always the Delete key.

With love and mega-doses of irony

Hey Martha, I hear what you are saying and all that is

good. I really don't think that you will be censored

or anything like. I just found it odd to see a post

like that. I was not offended just thought I would

chime in as I am sure others will or maybe they will

choose not to.

I wish you luck on your mission.
