[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 675358, member: 41816"] I actually agree with many of your comments. Pity they were couched in such negative terminology. But by making your post a response to mine suggests that that you have missed my point. And, as I posted earlier, I object to the judgemental tone implied by the use of the word 'blame', and self descriptions such as 'lazy slob'. If you choose to cultivate a blame mindset then that is your prerogative. But I do not think it is appropriate to express such judgemental opinions on a forum like this. Especially on such an emotive subject as excess weight. Judge yourself as much as you like, but please refrain from passing judgement on people you have never met, who come to this forum for support, information and encouragement. Accepting responsibility for something (where relevant) is helpful, constructive and much more likely to result in improvement - and is widely encouraged on this forum. But blame is always destructive. [/QUOTE]
