    I've had it.
    It isn't the lazy way out; it isn't the easy way out.
    Once I started losing, I was able to work out much easier. I couldn't ride a stationary bike before. Now, I ride a regular one (well, up until this summer's knee crap). And yeah - I lost a shitton.

    So - maybe that's MY unpopular opinion.

  • Missy, did you read TR/my follow ups? Apparently I just expressed it poorly, but I was criticizing MacFreitas, not gastric bypass patients.

  • I've had two uncles have gastric bypass.  They lived unhealthy lifestyles, but had since children.
    I find it hard to ignore the genetic excuse there, although I know it is only a small part of the problem.

    I can't think of a point in their life where they could have turned it all around.  They were uneducated about their decisions, and the family's view on foods didn't help.  I find it hard to call them lazy, they didn't exercise, but their jobs were active.

    Both of these uncles are thriving since surgery.  They have made changes, maintained healthy weights, and their overall health has improved.

    However, both have sons that are heading down the same path, and it breaks my heart that they are not doing much to intervene.  I may be in the waiting room for two more of these surgeries, and it's scary as sh*t.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: unpopular opinions : My issues with her started several months ago when I went to check on the attire board and found a post filled with flames from SB-ers. Sure enough, she'd linked it to SB. Why was I pissed about that post in particular? Because at that time, future-mrs was a pretty regular poster on Attire as well, and the post was one of the ones about military dress that we get a couple of times per week. It wasn't any screechier than similar posts earlier in the week, so the whole situation reeked of <strong>"Hey guyth! Let's go flame this whiny chick I found! Don't you like me?" I hate the phrase "trying too hard" with a passion, but she was, and she brought drama to one of the more puppies and rainbows boards out there in the process.</strong>

    That seems strange seeing as how she doesnt want drama on her boards but its probably because tahts the vibe there and she wants to fit in in either place. Maybe goading on the flames was another part of her social experiment.
  • I will forever think of futuremrs as jigsaw. thanks, pinkpinot! :)

    This was several months ago, and may have been before she was a mod anywhere. I think she has a real need to be noticed and needed--or at least that's the vibe I get from her posts on the boards she mods.

    She refers to herself as "your mod" on her club board a lot, and she and the rest of the board have acted very self-congratulatory at not being like the big mean national boards since she was accused of the callouts stuff. It's a little creepy, IMO.
  • and here's the thing: futuremrs is handling this all wrong. if she did it, she should say "that's right, biitches, I did it. I thought you guys needed to see what it felt like to be flamed. it hurts, doesn't it?" she should stand behind her "convictions." some people would respect that.
    if she didn't do it, she needs to say, "I'm only going to say this once, it wasn't me. I have nothing to do with it, I would like to find out who did it as much as anyone."

    not addressing it is just pvssy.

    I saw that and it seemed so bizarre to me. Do they KNOW what the callouts was and what all went down with it? Im sure if anyone brought it up there + her possible connection, the thread would be deleted faster than you can blink.

    The fact that she deleted all of her knot friends once this all went down on friday seems highly suspect to me.

  • Birdie, I'm gonna need a little more detail than that - what did it say?!

    Missy, no worries, I'm just glad you saw it. I would never say something like that, so I didn't want you to think I would!

    Posted by laladypoet[/QUOTE]

    On the Kansas board, future-mrs had a thread (that I can no longer find over there) that basically said- stop stalking me, i don't have anything to apologize for and if you try to invade this board I will tell KA because she doesn't want drama on club boards.


    So she didn't say it was her, but she also didn't say that is wasn't her. So either she doesn't have anything to apologize for because she didn't do it or she doesn't feel badly about it. But that thread was locked and now it is gone, so clarification on the matter will probably be difficult to get.

  • yeah, I was just going to say that. she said she didn't do anything wrong, which the callout creator WOULDN'T think it was wrong. kwim?

    Well that sounds very grown up and also tooootally effective since 99% of the people who had anything to say about her never go over to that board to see something like that.

    That was so not the post I meant to quote...

    upon further investigation I dont even know how that HAPPENED.
  • I recently quoted something in a thread here, and wound up on wedding woes. it was weird.
  • ThePinkSuperhero posted (quoted from my post on the FFF thread so I don't forget details):

    Pretty much pink was replying to FM by saying (and I'm paraphrasing):

    So you had to think? (insert something here that said something like she had to think about if she was going to admit or avoid something something something).

    Then she said the accusations were of her making a callout site that had one posters wish that P2's husband were better off dead. And how if she was the owner it didn't make her the victim, it made her the perpetrator.
  • And then Snippy/Amoro posted that she thought pink was sexy and at some point FM posted a reply about how KA would ban any harrassers, but then about 30 minutes later all three posts were deleted and replaced with the rainbows and puppy dog posts from the club members.
