WLS Community Negativity UNPLUGGED

When the shitter's full, its best to empty it!!

I'm getting sick of some of the bullsh!t that is going on in the weight loss surgery community - there is a lot of friggin drama when a bunch of former fatties all of the sudden get self-esteem and then take it way too far into biach land and forget where they came from.

Sure, I lost a whole bunch of weight and did find some healthy, much needed and deserved self-esteem, but I have kept myself in check and stayed true to good ol' me. I haven't forgotten where I came from and did not change the essence of myself because I got healthier.

Again, the social media on the internet exposes the underlying truth that no matter the physical form, negativity is ugly. It sucks. It seeps and stews. Negativity grows and gestates. It infiltrates and infuriates. Negativity separates and it is just plain annoying. It is important to remember one thing....

YOU CAN UNPLUG! - there is an "x" in that corner - there is a "block" for that negativity - there is an exit door on that facebook group page. Is it time to clean up your "friends" list? Is the negativity SHITTER FULL? Your online experience is what YOU want it to be. Do not worry about hurting someone's feelings because you feel the need to "defriend" them on the web. After all, they probably just added you because you posted on a similar page, have a friend in common, thought you had one witty comment, or they knew you "when" and wanted to snoop on in and see what you look like and who you are now.

There are GOOD PEOPLE out there who support each other and truly care. There are also lurkers, meanies and holier-than-thou trolls always ready to stomp on your rainbows and flowers. Don't be afraid to unplug those people who are pissing in your corn flakes - skim milk is so much better for you than piss (and vinegar).

Ok, I ranted, therefore I am.

Light, Love and Happiness - let's all get back to the important things, what REALLY matters - Home, Health, Family, Friends and enjoying each day alive - truly LIVING to our fullest and sharing that with those who matter, who make a difference and who cultivate a healthy, supportive environment for others.

<3 and Light!!!! (and empty shitters to all)
