Boo, Jevo.

When did this place start being full of bitter, self righteous people? Get down from your soapbox. Talk like that is not productive at all and you should be ashamed. Not everyone who wants to lose weight is a 'self conscious girl' --or-- a man! Wanting to lose weight is a great thing. If more people paid attention to their weight and actually did something about it, national health would be much better and insurance costs would be lower. You should welcome anyone who comes here for information on fasting, no matter what the purpose. If you don't agree with their reasons for fasting, you can disagree RESPECTFULLY like Hopinso does. He tells people that it isn't a good idea to fast just for weight loss, tells them why, and then offers a better solution. That's a very responsible way to behave and I commend him for it. Resorting to snobbish insults and jabs only undermines the forum and if that behavior continued unchecked, pretty soon you would be here posting back and forth only to yourself.
