Getting Advice from Others
I am not the first blogger for this site. I am a replacement and I read some of the comments. Rude, rude, RUDE! Telling someone to gain 50 pounds is messed up. What if that sets the person off into an eating frenzy, anorexia, or bulemia? You think I am exaggerating? Unfortunately, NO.
I can’t stand hearing other people’s opinions about my weight unless it is a compliment. If it is a compliment and a comment at the same time, don’t say it. My mind is always in places and ready to be my worst critique and I can’t stand to hear anything from you. You may say something about my weight and have no thoughts of it later. But then there will be me, reliving what you said to me over and over again. It totally sucks to be in the world of mental stress. With food, it is definitely a mental thing for me. Right now, I am technically at the ideal weight for my height. I know this. Is it the weight I want to be at? No. I have already worked with a nutritionist and had someone watch my diet for three years. I can safely say I know what I am doing for and with my body. I am a performer first and foremost and my body is my business. I have to have the rock hard abs and look damn good in a small outfit on that stage. It is my job. It’s not a complaint, it is a fact. I know my body looks better at a certain weight. And yes, I have been underweight before, so I know my limits. I know where the weight comes off when I lose weight and that is exactly what I want. So, if I start talking about my mental struggle and complain about the weight loss process, I only want to hear comforting, supportive words - as would anybody. So, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything!

There’s trolls for every blog. Don’t pay attention to them. That’s what they want because it’s the only thing that makes them get off. Also, on 451 Press, you do have the ability to delete comments. So, if you think someone has posted a comment that may harm one of your readers, just delete it. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.
