Egad! If you are, don't answer! If so, expect someone to contact your nationals or chapter.

Haha, thanks :)

You know, it's kinda funny though....


This guys reminds me of myself when I first joined greek chat.

(Not abiding by any rules, not caring about others feelings, saying whatever I want.)

After several run-ins with John...I've become a bit more controlled.

Some people would call that censored.



Still though, I think the guy is funny.....

And, this might be piss some of you off, 160 pounds for a chick that is 5'4 is fat......most girls 5'9 don't even weigh 160 pounds.

Think about it....

All he did was give his opinion.....I'm not defending him since I haven't seen all his other posts....but he is right....

And aren't we all proud of how you've grown and matured, lol :p

If John wants to censor, he has every right to. Being on this board is a priviledge to all of us, not a right. He chooses to own and operate this. His court, his rules :)

Thankfully he seems to have a good heart and a forgiving nature towards some people.

I've got to say it--

Why are you looking to strangers who can't even see you to validate or invalidate your weight?

If you are uncomfortable with yourself, do something about it. Work out, diet, meditate, etc.

If you are not uncomfortable, stop worrying about it and live your life.

If you are happy with who you are, no one else's opinion of you should matter. We all come in many different shapes and sizes, and thank God for that, it makes life interesting.

Listen, she made a post asking if people thought she was fat. I said yes, because in my world, that's a big ass girl.

Then you make a post calling me an insecure jerk...

Uh yeah, I guess anyone who is honest is a jerk huh? What did you want me to do? Spare her feelings? Lie to her like the rest of yall spouting that bullshit about health and height/weight ratios? Who is the jerk? The person lying, or the guy who is honest?

She asked, "Am I fat?", she didn't ask, "Am I healthy?". No one really gives a shit about who's heartbeat is faster and who has a lower cholestrol.

Once again- where's your picture, mr. stud?

Carry On.....
 

Howdy,

I've deleted and/or edited out all flames. If your thread has been edited or deleted it's because it was a flame or referred to a flame.

BTW: Contact chose the word 'fat', not Imchamp, so please don't be astonished that he used her word. Some might find it distasteful (including me), but hey, that's what she asked.

If you haveQuestions or Comments please PM me.

I think it's mostly how well you carry yourself (where the weight is) and mostly how much body fat you have. That's the biggest thing. When I was with my ex (who is a personal trainer) he urged me to stop thinking of weight in numbers but more or less as body fat and what percentage I have.

If you ever have the chance to get your body fat taken, I hightly suggest it. Women can weight 140 and be 5'4 but still be healthy because they have 18% body fat (which is lean).

Technically, by numbers alone, you are overweight . . . but without a picture I think's impossible to tell whether or not you're fat. (Plus, I think most of us here are tactful enough that even if you were fat, we wouldn't come out and say it. Apparently this doesn't apply to all of us, though . . . :rolleyes: )

Everybody here has made really important points but I think amycat's was most important: why are you asking for somebody else's opinion on your weight? If you're happy with your weight, then that's more important than what everybody else thinks. If you're not happy, do something about it! I know my eating and exercise habits have a huge amount to do with how I view myself and my self-esteem -- way more than my weight, even. I know from previous experience that if I'm 115 pounds but eating tons of junk food and not exercising, I hate my body -- whereas if I'm 135 but I'm running, doing yoga and eating lots of fruits and veggies I feel a lot better about myself.

Thanks for the compliment, sweetie. I'm not sure where you got the idea I was going to post a picture here. Sorry :(

I'm not sure why you people feel the need to make posts like this and put your pictures online. Are yall really that insecure that you need a bunch of strangers you don't even know to tell you "OH HEY YOU'RE CUTE!"

If you think you're fat, you are.

If you think you're ugly, you are.

Get it?

Exactly. Very good point. Being active and taking care of yourself, no matter what your weight is, feels good.

Because some of us have been a part of the GC community for long time, have developed friendships from it, people we email and chat w daily and its nice to know what the person you've come to know looks like. I've met a GCer in person and she's become a very good friend, and for that, I am grateful to GC!
So its nothing to do with self esteem and more just to do with wanting to put a face to the personalities we've come to know on this board.

My pic's posted, but I never asked anyone what they thought of me.

Also, most of us have been posting pictures- refer to the Official Greekchat Photoalbum thread.

And additionally, the reason I said that to begin with, is that if you're going to criticize people in the manner in which you did, you'd better be perfect, or in this case, have a great body. Basically being able to back up what your mouth says.

No one's posted a picture and said- hey, rate me! So i'm not sure where you're getting that from.

I'm agreeing with UFPike and champ on this one. I don't care how you sugar coat this and how much you talk about muscle weighing more than fat, etc.

--"Hey you still are beautiful and i'm sure you carry the weight well"...I'm sure statements like that don't insult anyone's intelligence.
