what do we want? size 16 to size 10. what will we do to get there? anything.

[StealthPolarBear]

Couldn't get much more inspirational than the title of the first thread. We're doing this for ourselves. No one else outside family really cares if we're size 16 or size 10. No one else really benefits when we're slimmer. We take all the pain but get all the benefits. And it matters, we'll do anything to get there. Seriously assess - are you really doing all you can? Could you maybe cut out a bit more junk or exercise on the days you can't be bothered? If you really are doing all you can, brilliant. the weight will be coming off, slowly but surely. If, like me, you're thinking that maybe you could try a bit harder sign in here for your butt kicking.
do you want to be fat at christmas?

no not moaning when you don't answer quick enough. Moaning when you choose to answer certain parts of posts over others. Fair enough.
But please explain exactly where someone suggested deleting the thread? As opposed to just moving on to a thread which is more in keeping with what we want - support and chat rather than a load of arguing and someone who feels that they know our motives better than we do and that we are poor little misguided wimmin.

Stealth. Yep moving onto a different thread. And people were taking about deleting an old thread. I must have got confused, sorry.

Please don't use thta word at me. I really don't like it.

I'm so sorry everyone, I only joined this thread today and should have kept out of that disturbance.

It's just that I was taught to stand up to bullies and I hate to see a group of people attacked that way. It's discrimination. It's prejudice. And it's bang out of order. But I have taken it outside now.

I really hope this thread continues or someone links to a new one where we can get on with the job in hand in peace.

Check you PM's Fairenuff :)

I don't think its ME thats the problem here. I have been on this thread since the very beginning Krum. Its you who has been asked to leave, by me and by quite a few others aswell, so don't single me out.

You were very rude though. And ignored the fact that I was only answering questions posters were asking me. I don't think there was any need to be rude to me.

Give it up Krum.

No one i'm sure even you don't care anymore!

i haven't been rude.
Please leave this thread Krum. Please can someone stand up for me here, and ask her to leave , and to leave me alone.

Oblomov I support you. I don't know why you got singled out but I suggest we all leave krum to what will now hopefully become a ghost ship of a thread.

Agree. I'm off to the new thread.

Hi all, just ducking in because I happened on this thread when it popped up in active convos ... here's a S&B thread I found, you might find it useful or interesting.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/1473317-How-many-of-you-follow-a-low-carb-diet

Lrd. I have a medical condition called benign intracranial hypertension which is exacibated by weight. I see a neurologist who told me to follow a low carb diet. This is also COMPLETELY irrelevant, wanting to be thin is still a product of patriarchy. I don't want that, I just want to take away the risk of blindness. But if I did that doesnt mean anything, as I've said we are all taken in by it. I feel the pressure as do most other women.
I seriously thought you were better than that.

I agree wanting to be thin is the product of the patriarchy.

But posters on this thread have discussed their medical reasons for wanting to lose weight and you're being really rude to assume your reasons are better than theirs without knowledge.

Feel assured, I really do not care what you thought of me.

(Aside from being, TBH, faintly creeped out that you had an opinion at all since I don't have any memory of having seen your name before today. One post on a thread when I didn't have the full picture is not a sign of support for your style of posting, you must know that.)

Thankyou LRD I found that interesting :)

I'm not looking to be slim. And I don't think my reasons are better. I have at no point told anyone not to diet! Threads like this will draw in people who feel shit about themselves, especially with that op. so why is it do awful to simply say if you are doing it for those reasons then maybe talk about/ analyse it?
I didn't expect you to care. I just find it shocking that anyone would be do underhand. No privacy ay.

For Christ sake I didn't say I in anyway wanted you to support me! I just thought going through old posts of mine was pretty weird. I've seen you post a few times before and you seemed quite right on, that's it.

I'm not being remotely underhand. I am saying exactly what I think of you and explaining exactly why I don't like it.

How much clearer do you want me to be?

Your style of posting is nasty, and I ended up on the thread-about-a-thread without having the faintest idea of it. I have no bias in this at all, and I still find your posts really rude. Surely that tells you something?

It's fairly natural to search old posts when you are trying to find a thread that's being discussed on a thread about a thread.

Obviously.

Hey I am all for getting trim but this thread does seem to be about being thin to meet a societal ideal what with the shaming 'do you want to be fat for christmas' in bold etc. I am a size 16 and want to lose about two stone post preg weight as it just feels better not to carry excess weight, my back is shot and my knees are weak and I feel lethargic with extra weight. I really dislike the rhetoric of shame and loathing around size e.g. Fat, will do anything to be thin etc.
