I wonder if another thread might be better if there's going to be extended discussions of Bible study?

Hi Julie :)

Actually, that might not be a bad idea. I have seen this happen before on another site where some feelings got hurt over this same type of situation and valuable members of the community left.

Personally, the discussions do not bother me. I just don't plan to participate in them. And, as I said earlier, we don't have any rules in here (at least not that I am aware of) ... BUT I also respect that not everybody is interested in a Biblical approach to weight loss, so I can understand where you are coming from. BUT I cannot speak for anyone else, so that's where I'll leave it, for others to decide what they wish to discuss in here.

In the meantime, for anybody interested there is already a dedicated thread where the Bible studies are being discussed. Here is the link: Diet Bible Study

Son getting married today. Woohoooooooooo!!!!!

Have fun, Carol!

Congratulations and enjoy the wedding Carol!:congrat:

congratulations carol and have fun and enjoy... thanks for sharing. LaDean

Just a quick note. My DH has kidnapped me and is taking me to PEI. I'll tell you the whole story later when we get home in a week, Lord willing. It's a funny one.

Hi everyone,
I'm still IEing. Scale has been pretty steady, which I'll consider pretty good for me. As soon as cooler weather moves in I think I'll be a bit more active by getting back out to take walks again. Summer humidity just kills it for me there! Otherwise not much else going on here.

See you when you get back Carol.

I'm sorry if I've made anyone feel unwelcome here. This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Hi Blue. I know what you mean about the humidity. Ugh.

Blue Serenity,

I know you were probably not talking to me when you said...

If it was me you were talking to because of this...

I completely agree with you, in fact I was the one who mentioned I felt like I had hi-jacked this thread.

You have been nothing but sweet and kind to me...:hug:

Sometimes it's so hard to say what we want to on a thread, because you can't use any body language or facial expressions. You can't watch sombody face to see if what you are saying is being understood, or is hurting their feelings. Anyway... I just wanted to be sure you knew you hadn't hurt my feelings.

Love, Kelli

Hi Everyone,

Carolr Congrats on the wedding and hope you and DH had a good time on you special time away.

Blue You didn't offend me either. I think the things said was to me not Kellie. However, it isn't a problem for me. In fact, I did find a place where those things can be shared.

I don't want Blue to feel bad about anything. So I decided to write and tell you that I'm in a transition time in my life and I've decided to leave the Intuitive Eating program to do something else. I'm going to be getting really busy in September and won't have time to be on all the threads I've been on. So I have to pick and choose carefully which ones I'll keep.

I've decided to continue to study Kellie's lessons along with the other plan that I'm doing on another website. I need that one as it is my support group following the same plan. And I want to keep my faith thread here on 3fc. Just don't have time for more than that. Since I'm leaving IE program, it is logical for me to give this thread up. I will miss y'all.

I leave hoping you all will continue to do well with your IE Journey.

I don't think anyone felt unwelcome either! :)

Patty, I wish you the best. I struggle too with trying to do too much and doing none if it well!

Yes, I agree, Kelli.

As far as who I was talking to, I was just trying to address the situation from a neutral place. Things stay pretty relaxed in the IE thread, and I had everybody's interest at heart. :hug:

Trish, I wish you the best, you will be missed here! I'm sad to see you go, but I do understand. Check in with us from time to time! :hug:

Everybody, thanks for understanding. :grouphug: Sometimes I feel like I've put my foot in my mouth. :o

Well, back to business. Have a great one! :sunny:

Just a note. Ate too much last night but now I really feel it when I do that which reminds me not to do it again. Sorry to see you go, Patty.
