1. Congratulations!

:toast:

Glad that worked for you, and that you've maintained for almost 4 years. Good work!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear auntAgonist!

Wow! That's some weight loss!

Big congratulations to you!

You did a very good thing...and you extended your life, and your happiness in your life, by having that procedure...

Good for you!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

3. There was nothing wrong about bragging in your case

That is quite an accomplishment. You "took the bull by the horns," as they say, and made a life-changing decision. And it probably saved your life!

:hug:

4. Hey...

You are the least vain person I know, if you did something good, don't feel embarrassed about it! :hug:

[Symarip]

5. Eff that.

I think it's fantastic and inspirational. If other people are offended, let them be offended.

[lukasahero]

6. Pride does not = 'brag'

and I'd like a minute alone with whomever made you feel bad enough to retract this post. :grr:

Sounds like you lost some weight and are proud of your accomplishment - as well you should be! Congratulations!

I'm so sorry someone made you feel bad about that.

[Eyerish]

7. Never apologize for such a great acomplishment...

Anyone tells you otherwise is an inconsiderate dink. :hug:

[supernova]

8. Absolutely "brag" all you want aA. You've earned it.

[LeftyMom]

9. Who on earth objected?

You've made a big change, and you've kept it going long term. Almost nobody does that, and even with surgery your results are unusually admirable, so I assume your efforts are too. You absolutely should be proud of yourself.

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Are you kidding? You aren't bragging.

And, you have every reason to be really, really proud of yourself.

I'm VERY proud of you.


:hug:

Fuck whoever objected.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. The one time I come to this cesspool you delete a post that I would

have been happy to read. :) I am sure it is awesome news.

[Richardo]

12. !!

:hi: :pals:

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Richardo!

:hi: :pals:

How are you?
I'm loving this weather!

[Richardo]

21. Beautiful day. Store it in your memory bank for July.

That's what I did with the 19-degree lows in January. :D

[Shell Beau]

14. She lost and has kept off more than 150 lbs!!

It has been 5 years. What an awesome accomplishment. She should brag.

[SoxFan]

15. Somebody had a problem with this? WTF?

I say :party: :toast: (light beer, of course) :fistbump: :headbang: :woohoo: :applause:

[CreekDog]

20. Some people just aren't right

:wtf:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. That is amazing and I think she should scream it from the mountaintops.

Hi Shell! :hi:

[Shell Beau]

32. Hi there!!!!!!!

Hope you are ALL good!! :pals:

[flvegan]

22. Who said she was bragging?

Someone at DU or was that in the OP?

[bigwillq]

23. Who the heck objected???

This is something to be proud of. We all should be celebrating for her. I am so proud of you, aA!! Congrats! :bounce: :toast: :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Taverner]

25. Definitely!

Brag all you want - you earned it!

[Shell Beau]

29. Let me correct myself. It has been 3 years and 9 months!

Awesome, nonetheless.

Not sure who made a bragging comment, if anyone did, but if it were me, I'd be bragging my ass off.

[Shell Beau]

13. You be damned proud of your accomplishment. It is a wonderful

thing. And even if it was bragging, which I know it wasn't, you have every right to brag. Congrats to you!! Don't let anyone rain on your parade!!! :toast: :pals:

[madmom]

16. WOW good for you... and yes brag away you deserve it!

[CreekDog]

19. I object to anybody suggesting that you are bragging

Being able to take control of something in your life and achieve your goal is inspirational to those who struggle with anything.

:hug:

[hippywife]

24. If anyone, A-N-Y-O-N-E

flamed you as bragging, just let me know. I'll round up Skittles and they will get a double ass-kicking for giving you a hard time.

You are beautiful and should be very proud of your accomplishment, doll. Don't let anyone take that away from you.

I bow to your wow, sis!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

26. You should be proud of what you did

It's not bragging to tell us how you triumphed over a problem you were having. Personally, I think it's awesome what you did and I say good for you!

:hi:

[Forkboy]

27. Now that I know what this is about....

Don't ever let anyone take away your sense of worth, especially when you really HAVE done something to be totally proud of. Anyone telling you otherwise is damned ass. Congrats on your accomplishment, I say! :toast:

[backwoodsbob]

28. be DAMNED proud of yourself

Dont let the dinks get you down.I'd be damned proud too..BTW..give me the name of who objected..I have some people who can..um..make them see the light :)

[Blue-Jay]

30. Kick.

I always kick self-deleted threads.

Congrats, btw!

[Kali]

31. If this is as others are indicating, that you posted about losing a lot of weight

I would think rather than seeing it as bragging (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with bragging about a worthy accomplishment) perhaps to look at it as an example for others. Knowing it can be done can be the kick somebody struggling with this really needs. Pleas reconsider and tell us how/what you have done to be successful. What works needs to be "out there" for others to see.

And while I can see somebody seeing a brag in such an accomplishment, surely anybody would be entitled. Maybe you are struggling yourself. Maybe it hurts to see someone do what you have not been able to manage. Or maybe you are one of those arrogant assholes that see it as personal failure to be fat in the first place. Guess what? Being an asshole is the real personal failure and you are one.

Anyway, Congratulations Kesha/auntAgonist, I am very happy for you. Don't let the assholes get you down.
