Re: First Aunt Flo and Weight Loss

OH MY DEAR LORD..i may never post on D&E again..i seriously thought that forum was for support..guess not..
It's not fair that several of you are interpreting my posts on D&E as problematic..if u feel that way, keep it to yourselves. I almost wish others could read all my posts on that forum to form their own opinion now. And I f i have major issues that involve seeking medical attention, then so do a lot of other people i know.
Also, my last post on that board was in the very beginning of August and it was very positive. I guess nobody remembers reading that one.
I do not starve myself..i do not purge my food, i do not binge eat. I therefore do not have a "problem"..For heavens sake, i've never even done a cleanse.
Yes, i weigh myself every day, i've been doing that for at least the last 10 years...and i know at least 10 people that do the same. And Yes, i'd like to get back down to my prepreggo weight, and the sooner the better..don't think anything is wrong with that..Guess i'll have to find another "health" forum, where people do not judge others.

Re: First Aunt Flo and Weight Loss

AF didn't make a difference in my weight loss. Part of it was easy and the other part was a good amount of work.

I never get involved in drama but this is ridiculous and sad. If you don't like someones posts about their weight loss (frequent or not) then don't reply!!!!!! I don't understand how moms have all the time to make other moms feel bad!

First Aunt Flo and Weight Loss

I have no idea how some people remember everything someone posts. Who cares if she has questions about weight, maybe she just needs some support and advice. It amazing me how a post from someone asking if getting AF caused them to lose weight faster caused so much drama.

I also love how many people on this board seem to diagnose people over the internet.

Re: First Aunt Flo and Weight Loss

Ok i'm going to put it out there.

Posters are bashing others for voicing their concern. The post by PhyllisNjoe was out of concern and she gets bashed for it.

The post by Ali was not conveyed properly and she has since then admited that it was not put out there the "correct" way.

The OP and many many others complain about weight issues all the time. And beleive me I have in my life also so I am no better than most but there is a time when it can become an issue. A person does not need to starve themselves or purge to have an issue. Obsessing over your weight can be anissue without what everyone thinks are eating disorders. Eating disorders is a much larger relm of things that the big 2. People who are overweight can have an eating disorder because they eat too much. people who exercise can have a disorder cause they obsess about the exercise. The issues come in all shapes and sizes.

People then bashed a poster cause she said maybe you need help and she might and she might not but based on the snipet you get from posts on here we make conclusions based on our own lives and maybe issues we have had.

So why bash poster that are voicing their concerna and when some poster even put out a suggestion for help. We only know what you (int he general you) put on this forum and when a majority of a posters post focus on on thing then yeah people might think there is an issue.

Just my 2 cents now I will go back to just reading the posts and being happy my kid finally got a tooth.

Hey, does anyone remember that time when we were all really supprotive of each other and gave good advice and didn't make nasty snarky comments intended to make a new mom feel bad about her mental state?

Yeah me either :-/

First it's the woman who didn't lose any weight 5 days PP and was freaked out - it was her FIRST child, how is she supposed to know what will happen? People got so nasty and snippy like it was offensive to them or something.

Now Karen would like support and encouragement in her endeavor to lose weight and feel better about herself and she gets this nasty ish? Let's all tell her that she should just forget about looking good - for herself, her husband, to be a positive role model for her kids - and tell her to just "enjoy" this time with her baby. Because we all know how enjoyable it is to not feel like yourself after having a baby but have women tell you that instead of looking forward to lose weight you should be seeing a shrink instead.

Some of you just SUCK.

WOAH look whos being snarky now. Jesus Christ already. Get off your

I can speak for myself when I say I have noticed this particular poster posting about diet and dieting and diets and losing weight and what will work and why hasn't it worked.. On and On. So when I saw this, I decided to mention it's very possible SHE HAS A PROBLEM. Shared my personal experience. As if going to a SHRINK as you put it for HELP with a problem is a bad thing - WTF What's your part in this other then to add a lil extra


Some of us SUCK? I think you SUCK

AMEN!!!

headoverheels...
Aren't you the same poster who made the hugest deal when a pregnant woman on this site used the word "dump" in a post even though the majority of people were supportive about what she was posting about? So its OK to be nasty when you dont like someone's verbiage?

People...stones..glass houses....you?

Re: First Aunt Flo and Weight Loss

YES. For me and DC #1, it made a BIG difference. It was easier to lose the weight & it seemed to come off with less effort. I was back into my "skinny" jeans at 9 mo PP... only to get pregnant again.

I've just got AF back after DC #2... I'll let you know how things go.

I am trying to diet too & get back to my pre- pregnancy weight... which is not easy to do... but is a healthy weight & probably the best thing that I can do for myself.

I can't believe the critical posters haven't gone on a diet & watched what you ate & exercised only to see things not moving forward. Have you not gone shopping and tried on a size that you NEVER thought you would need to wear? My own closet is full of clothes I can't fit into... It's frustrating. Give the OP a break. God knows, we should all be more supportive of our fellow moms.

Re: First Aunt Flo and Weight Loss

I think im most bothered by the fact that people seem to think seeing a "shrink" is such a horrible thing to suggest.. If a person has an issue hypothetically speaking, whats wrong with seeking therapy? If someone came on here and said they were unusually sad after giving birth, i would like to think this group would be supportive of one seeking professional help. I know I have gone in the past and I dobt see why the suggestion is sooo offensive.

It's obvious that she wants to start more drama...

Why don't you just leave this be and move along.
If you are so concerned with the OP then send her a personal message voicing the concern, don't call her out on something that is COMPLETELY normal! You can't tell me that you've never obsessed over your weight a little? Please.

It's not about judging others though. You have a tendency to ask the same questions over and over and over to the point where people may think there is a problem. It may not seem it to you but people here are offering support, just because they aren't blatantly agreeing with you doesn't mean it's not supportive. Also, the comments about diet coke etc, come on, that's funny. You yourself admitted you're a diet coke addict. When you're on the boards for as long as you have been people will recognize you and your posts. I don't think anything on here was a bash.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Perhaps revisit some of your own posts so you can get a sense of what they are talking about?

Actually, three of the posters on this thread are being downright bullies to the OP. Nothing in their posts implies help. They are simply picking on her because they don't like what she is posting about, maybe because they are jealous of her? That is usually why people bully anyway. Hey -- She is 105 lbs? I am pretty jealous too!
