To me its mindless chatter threads that are discouraging.
and as far as testing the waters go, my God we are only human, Im sure there has been times that you have tested the waters.
This is a support site, I have never read anything about it being an attack site.
Also I don't think its a matter of WHAT YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO EAT, I think its a matter of starting out to early, because face it no one is going to go through the rest of there lives not giving in to something. You just don't have to give into it so bad that you let it control you. So lets not pretend to be perfect or above the realm of reality here OK!!!!!!!
For me its a day by day plan, and I will admit that sometimes I don't do as
good as others. Now this doesn't mean that I eat a lot of sweets or carbs, but Im not going to say I have tried or tasted some of them.

Well a bit off topic but still, I'm with Little JG on this to be honest. I am far from being perfect but I have avoided sweets and chocolate and empty carbs completely since my surgery. And I intend to avoid them forever God willing.
I kind of worry about threads that say "its OK to test this or I can eat what I like and I am two weeks post op". As fatties we had (I still have) food related issues. For many of us it was an addition, a crutch, replacement for mommas love, or a myriad of other excuses we used to overeat to support our lives one way or another.
I have a great fear that once the dust has settled and my weight loss stops buzzing me up, that I will slip back to my bad old ways. Anything that normalises the kind of inappropriate food choices that I could so easily make is bad in my eyes.
I look at the absolutely outstanding results that JG has achieved on her journey and her firm commitment to eating the right foods in the right way and I find it hard to disagree with her maxim.
Maybe her passion for making the right choices and discouraging the wrong food decisions tempers her approach to threads that advocate what she sees as bad advice.
Maybe just maybe the little firebrand could tone down her flaming of dissenters to defcon 4 instead of full napalm delivery
Or maybe she's right and "I can eat a packet of biscuits and still not dump" threads offer little support to the community here. You don't hear of people at AA meetings saying I only drink a little bit do you?
