Down girl,down !!!! lol !!!!


That is so worrying.My sister constantly has a canned drink in her hand .

I would love to send a link to her but she would think I was getting at her.

To hell with it I am going to send her a link. She is far to heavy and is waiting for a knee replacement that they will not do until she loses weight.

Thanks for posting this.

I don't know if it's just me but I find those pictures of shoppers a little offensive. Its more than likely there are people on this forum that are that size and poking fun is not what this forum is about surely?

I'd by even thought about it until you posted but you are probably right.

I'm probably not that far of the size of the first two, so maybe I'm just a bit oversensitive. Just I don't expect to see those kind of things on here.

 

[SlimmingKitchen]

I wasnt poking fun at anyone, just saying its hardly surprising that America has some of the largest people if they have drinks like this readily available & shared the photos as examples.

Im not here to cause any upset so I have removed them for you

I seriously doubt anyone meant it to be offensive - people really aren't like that on here - promise xxx

No typo.Look at the calorie content in someof the others. From 900and odd cals up to the 2.000 almost twice what most of us on here eat a day.

I am sure that the point being made is the excesses in America and had no bearing on the size of any one on this site.

If you knew Mrs, Wilsoncroft as well as we do you would know she wasn't poking fun at anyone and would go out of her way not to hurt or offend anyone. She has been a great support for me and many others on here.

I am no light weight myself and took no offence at all.

I understand 100% as I am ultra sensitive about my weight,but I promise you knowing the poster it was not meant to be offensive. I am sure she will be quite upset that you have been offended.

We really are a nice bunch of folks on here and give each other 100% support and lots of humour.

Exactly !!!! We all know you would not upset anyone on here. I know I did not take offence,but then I know what a sweet person you are.

I seriously doubt anyone meant it to be offensive - people really aren't like that on here - promise xxx

hear,hear but then zombified doesn't know us yet. ( and hi, haven't "seen" you for ages,you o.k.)
