Feeling very sorry for myself :'(
My pudgy little fingers are just going to type the ramblings of my mind. I'm not PMS'ing but there seems to be something going on in my little pea brain because I'm feeling terribly sorry for myself.
I've joined several online support groups in the last two years - 4 of which I visit daily. I post, I try to encourage, I try to offer advise, I try to express sympathy when needed. Bottom line - I try to respond to all posts that I read and show that I care. So why do I feel that people don't really care one way or the other if I post? I can post a reply to a message and not receive any acknowledgements that anyone has even read my post - yet the person that posts right behind me gets acknowledged. EVEN IF THEY'VE POSTED THE SAME THING I JUST SAID!!! It's bad enough when you reply to a message and the originator only acknowledges the people in their little click, but when it looks like I am being singled out to be disregarded or overlooked I have to start wondering what is wrong with me. And then there are those that only post occassionally, yet everyone crawls out of the woodwork to respond to them when they decide to make an appearance.
I'm just having a little pity party for myself. By tomorrow I'm sure I'll be able to come back here and delete this post.
WOW - this blog thing works! I feel better already and while I still don't know why I'm suddenly so sensititve about this, the party is over! I think I'm just too boring for the average person! :D

I understand how you feel.
I post and never get much response.
Its like high school all over again. HAHA
If I do get an response they have not taken the time to see that I have already lost a large amount of weight and tell me its better the longer you have been on a diet.
Hang in there!
Thanks! And you hang in there also! I'm sorry that happened to you. If I ever do that to you, just reach through the computer and slap me upside the head!! :D
Hey, I saw your blog on 3fc and thought I'd pop over and say hello :)
Yeah... I don't understand the message board thing either sometimes. I like it, but I can't help but feel it's somewhat insincere, you know? Oh well. I'm sorry you're bummed out about that. I always like to read what you have to say, even if I"m not much of a poster :)
Thanks for stopping by! I'm actually over the "moment" now, but I'm sure one day it will happen again. I'm just too sensitive sometimes! And like you, I don't understand the workings of the message boards sometimes. But as long as they keep helping me keep focused, I'll keep going back.
I've just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what your screen name is over a 3FC's. So if you happen to stop back by let me know. :) I know there was a post yesterday about DDR and I saw a mention of it in your blog so expect me to pop over to ask you about that in a wee bit!
hi again Melissa! My username on the 3fc board is djs06... i'm so original :)
DDR is lots of fun! But I have two left feet so it's a challenge.. LOL. If you have any questions i'd be happy to help you out... i'm definitely no expert though! haha.
