Please Tell Me…I Have To Know
For some of you who have been around a while, I need to know. Is this high drama a regular part here? If so, Im done. I cant take the berating of each other. This was at first a nice place to escape that. I have been here at BS for about 4 months. At least half of that time has had DRAMA! If this is what it is I want no part any more. Please, someone tell me it wont be like this. I have so much grief in my life, I don’t need it here too. This is breaking my heart to see this kind of behavior in a SUPPORT group.
Without going into names or situations, I just need to know if its just like this here, if its been this way and wont change…

I am right with you….hence my three week absence. I came back here today and wow same old same old. Good luck to you and keep on with your weight loss journey.
just keep on keeping on, we’ll get through this “season” and BS will be better than ever!! someone said, “don’t water the weeds” we’ll just support each other and ignore the rest (or pluck ‘em…)
hmmm my comment disappeared??
just keep on keeping on. this “season” will soon pass and then buddyslim will be better than ever!!
someone said, “don’t feed/water the weeds”
so, we’ll keep on supporting each other and ignore the rest (or pluck ‘em)
I understand what you are talking about. It used to be a place of total support but not so any longer. I have also thought about leaving. I mean, you can ignore it but it’s hard to. The same issues keep being drudged back up for some reason. I’m not in any of it but it is sad to see. I’m trying to ignore it and go about my business. MOST of the people here are not looking for trouble so just choose wisely!
Thank you all. Its just sad when you come to get away from the world around you judging you for your weight and here it continues with everything else except the weight. I love so many here…just dont know that its worth the nonsense.
I never saw drama like this before, when I was here from January 07 - May 08. I’ve only seen it since coming back. I remember one little drama scene here last summer but it was gone real quick…lasted maybe a day or two. Don’t even remember what it was about. Don’t be disheartened! Let’s just keep on supporting each other and let it pass.
I have only been here since may. This thing has taken a life of its own. You know what..I know the people involved..but its not my problem. I am no longer reading any more blogs about it unless I open it and there it is…enough has been said. There are so many other things to focus on…so guys I hope you wont give up on buddy slim…I personally wouldnt have come this far without you guys. I need the support and love I get…not walking away from it…and I hope you and some of the others wont either…we sure need you. Debbie
Nope. As Catrina said. There were some things here or there. Just personality clashes. But for the most part, it was handled and resolved. This is definitely a first I have seen. And it is not cool. As I stated yesterday to a buddy o mine! I have to focus on getting HOTT and SEXXY…I dont have time to take notes on who hates who this week…Rise above it all and keep your eyes on the prize…
Yeah, it really doesn’t happen often. Please, take a moment and look at exactly how many other blogs are strictly about weight loss or about every day life versus the drama. There are so many people on this site who want help and want to give help. They soooo out number the drama. So many positive people commenting on blogs and trying to uplift others. This site has always been a positive to me. Just ignore the bad at all cost.
Try to ignore the drama - it wasn’t always here. And there are very few of us about drama
I have to consider myself pretty lucky because I have received nothing but support from everyone on this site.
If any of my replies have offended anyone, please forgive me as none were meant to be hateful.
I have to admit, I don’t always have time to read every post, and for those I do read, I don’t always have time to post or cannot find the right words, but it hurts me to think that anyone would post anything but words of encouragement.
Remember what we were taught as children, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
I have been very lucky and have received nothing but support on my blogs. I would ignore the drama whenever possible.
To those Negative Nelly’s out there, try to remember what we were taught as children, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” [I promise this is the only time I will add to the drama!
]
I do have to say that it is turning me away too! When I come here i go to the forum and to my team(Fitness fanatics) and only go threw that cuzz i’m tired of reading all the down blogs she said , they said , idid, they did.We are not in high school and if you can’t be nice then don’t be anything. I too, use to get alot of encouragment from reading blogs , now I only read my teams cuz I’m afraid of what it will be next. Sorry if I affended anyone. I love buddyslim and I refuse to let drama push me away, but i will stay in my corner cuz it hurts my spirit.I pray the peace will be back here and for God to remove the drama Queens.
Debbi!!!
So good to see you here! Drama…what drama?
LMAO (at myself) I’m either the most naive, the most unobservant, or the most clueless person, cuz I see NO drama on here…. I know all of you that wrote are either laughing or shaking their heads, but, seriously… I’m out of the loop!
Anyway, hang in there, I’m sure whatever it is will pass! And if any of the drama or negativity is geared toward me, please don’t share, sometimes ignorance is bliss, apparently.
There is a story I love…it is about a Special Man…and he was in a boat with a bunch of His friends. Well, a big storm came up and the guys were all afraid, and panicking…and freaking out. The boat filled with water…and the winds were strong. But the man was asleep on a pillow in the boat. Sleeping. At peace…resting. The guys woke Him up and said…Don’t you care that we are going to drown?
The Special Man commanded the waves and the rain to stop. He said, “Peace, be still.”
The wind stopped, and everything was calm. The Special Man asked the guys, “Why were you afraid? Don’t you have any faith?” Now they were more afraid than ever and said to each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Isn’t that a great story…but there is more…where were they going in the boat…and why was the storm so fiercely attacking them?
No this does not happen often. I have been here for at least a couple of years. It has done more good than bad in my life. Please don’t give up.
I love BS and I think it’s really helped me a lot! Just stay out of the drama and just keep focused on your primary goals of losing weight. I believe that you will attract other serious minded weight loss oriented friends. Join the challenges and stick to the issues - losing weight and you will do fine and have a good time doing it.
We are here to support and love one another. Keep your head held high! Buddy Slim has been a blessing in my life in a major way!
