I (and many others) already told you to go for a fast walk every day, and to eat healthy. You don't do it, so don't tell us that nothing worked. You did not even try.

Actually, judging by his most recent post above, it looks like maybe Chado _did_ take your advice and now maybe he walks more often than before.

Yet another lie. If that was really the case, you'd be dead by now, not posting here in order to get some sympathy.

No, I think it's perfectly possible to want to die but not feel able to commit suicide.

I wish I could kick your butt. And don't think I'm being angry at you, I'm not. Kicking your butt is the only action I can think of that would be truly loving towards you now.

I disagree, but I understand the feeling.

As long as you get always more love and attention here, you won't change anything.

I doubt that - it takes more than love, sympathy and attention to have a happy life, so, even if one is lavished with love, sympathy and attention, most people will still have plenty of incentive to change.

I wish everybody would stop being nice to you.

I'll pass on that... I don't think a "tough love" approach works with everyone. I guess maybe it could wake some people up, but with others, I think it just upsets them.

I can understand _wanting_ to kick someone's butt for their own good, though. When people seem to be refusing to help themselves, it can be very frustrating. I guess the way I avoid frustration is just by thinking to myself, it's their life, so, they're perfectly entitled to take my advice or leave it, and if I can't accept their choices, that's my problem.

Best wishes,
