Shereen Donede's Journal, 22 Mar 22

So good to come across one of your posts ❤️ feel like none of "my regulars" are around 🤪🤪🤪 

Waistaway that’s how I have been feeling!! 

I changed my profile to private recently because it felt like there is nobody on here I really know any more and some extremely strong opinions in some comments talking down and people, and it makes me stressed out. But I am still here plodding along 😉 

Ah Jepes! I was looking for you on my following list now it makes sense. I completely get what you saying. What I tend to find is there are a ton of new faces beginning of the year, and like you say string opinions... Towards the end of the year it's the golden oldies 🤣🤣🤣 

Jespes sorry - iPhone autocorrect 🥴 

Jespes.... I 100% agree. I've been finding some posts a bit triggers for me and sort of keeping to myself... But like Waist away I am also scrolling to look for my circle and to check in on all the old faves. I'm still here. Still doing my thing. The food game / head game / injury situation this year has made me feel a bit more gaurded. But soooooo nice to see some messages from you today.  

Shame I hope it heals soon, it's been a long time now x 

Ugh. Ja. The physio said it could take up to 6 months if I rest it. But it's so hard to rest a shoulder, especially since it's my mouse arm ... But my trainer was really great and we've found a good variety of alternative exercises that will keep me off my shoulder. Unfortunately it means still no boxing for while. But would rather that than injury persisting  

Ah Shereen I also remember how much you enjoy your boxing! Really hoping it heals quicker than anticipated ❤️ Waistaway, maybe I’ll change back to followers only and clean out my followers list. You are right, at the end of the year we will still be here plodding away 😆😆 I think I struggle not to get bummed when people who have lost 5kgs their way enforce their opinions so strongly and if I hear ‘everything in moderation’ once more 🤣🤣 but I am majorly conflict avoidant in real life too 😉 

So good to hear I am not the only one getting irritated with some of the comments. Shereen - what is “mouse arm”? 🙈 

Chris, I’m also relieved 😆 I thought it was just me!! 

@Jespes - Lol that's exactly it. Or someone who is 2 weeks in complaining that they only lost 2kg this week and so they're feeling demotivated 🤪 

I'm being way too judgemental now myself - sorry guys  

Maybe- but it did make me giggle 😜😜 

Hahahaha ok. Mouse arm. Not a medical description.. but I'm a graphic designer by day and it's my right shoulder that is injured... So working with my arm holidng a mouse all day causes huge discomfort. And fully agree with the comments. I'd rather not comment on some posts but I do a lot of eye rolling from the comfort of my couch. The long haul journey is very different from the one I thought I was going to be on. Last year I lost barely 2kg... And honestly was one of my best weight years. Because it proves this is now my lifestyle... Does not happen over night! 

Shereen - 🤣🤣🤣 thanks!! 🐭🐭 

felt soo good to see your post @Jespes. This reply section feelslike a reunion now all that's missing is @Kaapsekind. I've also felt weary of posting lately but i hope what @WaistAway87 said comes true soon so the FS fam can feel as welcoming as it used to. 

Countess 🥰🥰 you too
