Agreed. Sorry you had to put up with that. FS seems to be for the most part of having the intention of being supportive. 

Thank you! Very kind of you to say so.👏👏👍🎉 

I'm sorry! I think I know what you are talking about and agree that was completely out of line and extremely judgmental. Please know that most people here are not passing judgment on others and their struggles, can relate to your struggle or know they have their own or different ones to overcome, and do not endorse/support those types of rude remarks. Know that the people making the judgy or accusatory or trying to impose their way as the only way usually have issues, if not with food, then with dealing with people or some kind of personality disorder. Sometimes I wonder, if someone doesn't or has never struggled with weight management, doesn't get it, why they consider themselves experts on the topic. Empathy and compassion are important components of helping people, not only knowledge. I suspect it's a desire to feel important, to be seen as an expert and to control. Who knows? Best to ignore completely and not invite their comments. 

You'd think people would learn. If one person one time gets upset about something you said, perhaps they misinterpreted it or are too sensitive. Possibly. If it's a recurrent event with different people becoming upset or feeling hurt, then you probably should reconsider how you talk to people, especially those you don't know. 

I saw it, too. Everybody thinks critical things sometimes, but we CAN refrain from posting them. At the very least, we can send a private message to the person (Which is what I suggest that you do with her, in a frank but not cruel way). Personally, I appreciate it when someone calls me out on my B.S., if I haven't already acknowledged it myself first -- which is usually the case, as I am very hard on myself. But not everyone is like me, so my mom's advice was the tried & true, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."  

I didn't see it, but I'm sorry that happened! You can report those kinds of posts too. I've seen a few really awful remarks but thankfully not many in the past year. Most of the time many other people will come to your defense. Definitely don't feel it's characteristic of the FS community because 99.9% of the people in this community are truly wonderful and supportive. I just delete stuff like that. Hope you have a better experience going forward!!!
