forgetting the purpose of my journey

the purpose of my journey on here for me is to support everyone who supports me and to lose the rest of the weight. i will be an inspiration to myself and that is what matters. i will not be influenced by others negativity on my choices because i know i am healthy. i am still losing. i know that i have the dedication and determination to do this on my own. once i lose the 16 lbs i have left i will get off of this site, and will communicate with the friends i have made by phone, email text etc.

this site has totally changed. it has become cult like. people occupy this site who have nothing better to do than to put others down and cause drama. i have enough drama and things going on in my life than to blast others, shame others, and put others efforts down. Everyone is here for a reason-to lose the weight. if you dont have anything to say to someone then dont. and i faltered in this a while ago when i got angry and expressed my emotions. I do not regret what i did and do not feel sorry. i stand behind what i said, but i do know that this site brings me stresses that it did not 6 months ago.

6 months ago i could sign on here and read nothing but positivity. people didnt critisize on blogs, or put others down, or discourage them. i got sucked into these efforts and adapted to it myself, and changed. this is not me. i am not the person to shame others and this site changed how i conduct myself. and that is what i am ashamed of.

so, for those of you who ive formed a strong bond with, i will continue to support and be there for you. i want nothing more than for you to succeed.

for those new people ive connected to, im still here to reach out to. but i need to focus on myself and this challenge that i opened up to anyone who wanted to join turned out to stab me in the back. i wanted nothing but good things from this, i wanted to give others a reason to move in the right direction.

i should have just focused on myself and stuck to what was best for me, but instead i tried to help motivate others and got negativity. again.

so i apologize to those who had to bear witness to my behavior, for that is truly who i am sorry to. but to those who i spoke the truth about i hold no remorse and will move on with my life.

best wishes to everybody.

    Hey Loni, I love your support girlie. You keep doing what you’re doing. You are so close to your goal weight. That’s what you need to be focusing on.

    Oh girl, I didnt know you were facing so much here. I’m sorry. I’m really sad at the thought of not seeing you here anymore after you lose your weight. However, this place should be one of love and support-not stress.
    I know you can lose those last pounds girl–you’ve done so well.

    Loni I have been on here longer than you and have no accomplished half as much as you- you are doing awesome.I know what you mean with the people on here, though… when I started I felt like Buddyslim was much safer (in terms of support, etc) what happened? : /
