a plea here, people.
Jan. 10th, 2005 12:53 pmThose of you who are mutual friends, if you'd STOP FREAKING TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU WANT TO LOSE, that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not saying posts about body image issues or fitness are unwelcome on my f-list, cause they're not; it's very different to address those things than to make the pat statement that you NEED to lose X pounds. And I assume if I'm a friend of yours, that you have others who read you who may be similarly tweaked by your poundage goals; for all of us, please be nice and at least cut or filter such posts.
This message has been posted in lieu of defriending 75% of the people I know, since this is a month of great sensitivity on this issue for many people.
Thankyouverymuch. :)
[ETA: Now that I'm slightly less angry, I'd like to point out that the 75% figure is in fact a gross exaggeration and that this post isn't actually directed at most of you personally. I'm speaking for the pain and frustration of my people.]
