Great Thinking
John, this is a wonderful idea. You are quite creative for this site and thank you for this.
I believe that the section you mention does give the individual responsibility just for joining in and being accountable, the supportiveness would add another gift from this TERRIFIC SITE.
Love your idea.

Thanks again for all you do. Your drive and passion for the Bariatric Community still leaves me pretty speechless. For someone who hasn't walked in our shoes you have an unbelievable understanding of the struggles that we have...emotionally and physically. I'm sure your Dad is very proud of you.

Thanks John,
I am not at maintain my weight but still at losing weight. One of my biggest fears in when I go in the maintaining phase. The last 4 months as been hard for me, just alot of live stuff happening all in a short period of time. I well that Accountability is key in any health relationship.
Again, thanks John.

I am in awe of you John for being so young and smart. You're desire to help people, such as us here on this board, is amazing to me. You are a special person dear, especially to be your age and care so much. Thank you for this forum and all you do. I think you have really stubbled across a great idea here and I am actually anxious to be a part of this. I feel all of us that is serious about this journey and other things in our lives and need help with them can benefit greatly from this idea. I am definitely in for this one. Thanks again...

From what I've heard, this seems like it would be a helpful feature for those that wish to participate. It looks like we should try this feature as a 'pilot' program, with the following features/attributes: - This is a serious forum, and will need to have a posted policy about acceptable and unacceptable posts and responses to posts. Many of you mentioned that if you are in a vulnerable position, negative (or 'snipey') comments in a 'confessional' atmosphere must be excluded.
- This must be an honest, and open atmosphere for those participating
- This should be limited to registered users of TT,
- The section will not be indexed by search engines
- Users not logged into the TT Forum will not be permitted access to view posts
- We can experiment at first with a few sub-categories, such as:
- Pre-op meal logs / diets
- Post-op meal logs / diets
- Evolving addictions
- etc?
Does this sufficiently address the concerns presented?

John,
These parameters sound perfect. I am happy that 'looky loos' will not have access to ourselves at our most vulnerable. Not being reference able by a search engine is wonderful, and inspires confidence in telling our most scary, 'squishy' weaknesses. You are a stellar soul, and I thank you.

I like the idea myself. I use the daily plate which allows you to track nutritional information and has a journal. It is free.

Great idea john! You are doing amazing things with this board. Truly, you are.
Me, however,.... I will will steer clear of that section as I am a tough love kind of person and probably would wear out my welcome very quickly.

What about the non-food related section? I have no problems with the food issues......its all the other crap that comes up that are loosely related to this tool.....

I was thinking the same thing, the further out you are food isnt the issue, its alcohol, pain killers, diuretics, shopping, sex, and rock n roll!!!
Somedays I truly feel like saying just pass the Vicodin and Vodka and leave me alone, I will find my own happy place. I need a place to speak about vices and dealing without my pals Vic and Vok in my life.

Dealing with Life....
I agree.
When was the last time you saw a post from me talking about food , stalls ,
exercise.....etc.
The last two years have been more about "Life" issues.I love it here but feel at times I have don't have much to add.I need support and that is why I stay...even if it is just to read.Keeps me connected.
Reminds me of when I spoke with Trina...we spoke for about 1 1/2 hours and not once did we talk about food.We talked about life.
