Who gets the credit for this one?

I don't even think I know who she was. Damn it all. The office they moved me to is so busy. I barely have time to post now.

Oh gosh, Holly. I like her.

Her sentiment isn't uncommon among the general population. It's not an awful thing to talk about. It would have been nice to have an actual discussion about it.

What is there to say though? IF txts, and the decisions that go with, are medical decisions. Choosing to lose weight, gain weight, give up caffeine, etc. or not in the name of IF txts shouldn't be judged.

Isn't that kind of the end of the conversation?

I think I have to nominate jojoandleo! Which doesn't seem fair, she didn't even seem close to next in line for credit. 

 

Well now I think she took my gif to mean I didn't like HER, when what I meant was I didn't like THAT ONE POST. 

I don't think she is a bad person, I think she didn't understand easting disorders AT ALL.  Sorry, Holly.  I don't hate you!  I will tell you all about struggles with anxiety and food if you want to come back and learn.  And I will try to not be a snatch about it.

At this rate if I can just hang on I'll be a reg in the next month or so!

This is the best thing I have read all day.

I mean, sure. I agree with you, of course. But I still think that many, many people think like Holly do, and it's worth trying to explain why they shouldn't be judged. 

I do see where you're coming from here, because it IS really common for people to think that way, but... I tend to think those beliefs should be judged. 

Maybe judged isn't the right word, but they need to be challenged in some way.

It only works if they are willing to engage, which Holly was not.

This has gotta be some kind of ML record. Who is the keeper of the spreadsheet?

It's my fault.

I drove her away with PAM.

Well, it does keep things from sticking around. She just slid right off.

jinx!

I like holly and I'm sad she's gone. Her comments weren't very sensitive, but I don't think it's all that uncommon to be a bit more critical of someone when you've faced similar challenges. Seems counter-intuitive but IF is a difficult subject because there's no singular solution or cure-all, so it's easy to fall into the place of thinking someone should be doing something they're not. I hope she comes back at some point.
