I figure when we're here in TDC, we're dealing with our issues, and to be honest, I have been a bit off-put by some posts from `civilians' who have gotten a bit preachy about weight ("just use willpower" kinds of statements). I guess I see this as `our turf', and want to have this respected as a place where we deal with our issues (like the need to vent about something like this). When we're out and about, I figure it's the other way around--we're linked by the commonality of the desire to LC our way to weight loss--and the TDC issues are not common ground.
I think I can relate to what these folks are saying, because to feel fat feels crummy at whatever size you are. I heard--terrible story, but true--a parent tell me that when they buried an infant, they were told by the funeral director that he had just buried a teenager the previous week--and "just imagine how much worse his parents must feel." Say what? The parallel being: you can't quantify pain, nurses and their scale of 1-10 be damned. We're all trying to heal together, and I think it's helpful to recall that.
