I suspect this may be the reason why some of the board vets like Sandi2 have not contributed to my posts over the past month. In their eyes, why should they continue to give me advice when I'm not taking it?
Chris, you used my name in the title of two threads......and that's fine. Whenever my name is used in the heading of someone's thread, I am humbled. I also know it draws attention.........especially when it states something like the great Sandi2 experiment. . People want to see if the experiment worked....and if they can rely on what Sandi says. I can't remember if it was in the first thread or in part 2 with the same title, where you said you just didn't have it in you to apply a tougher love approach with your WW. If that is how a poster feels, I respect their decision, b/c it's their life to live, not mine.
I'll admit for almost two seconds, it did feel like a little slam, when I first saw the title of your next thread..... "Up Yours,, Sandi".......(jk) It really said, "Same Stitch, New Approach, Motivated, Feeling Good". .
If I may, I want to go on record as saying that my purpose for being on this forum is not for personal recognition, popularity, or whatever. Neither am I in any sort of competition with the advice of DB coaches. This is not my board, it belongs to MWD.
With all of that said, I wanted you to know that I still care, and have continued to read your thread, Chris. I have just remained quite, b/c I didn't want you to feel as if I was pressing you about something you didn't want to hear. As you've plainly stated, you are not taking my advice......so I'm not sure how to help you.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
