To Bodyspace or not to Bodyspace….THAT is the question
Let me preface this blog with the statement….I have wanted to use Bodyspace to help other women who are in similar physical condition that I once was. Overweight, over-eating or under-eating for that matter, not active enough, feeling like a change is necessary and desperately hoping there is someone out there who knows what she’s going through and is willing to help. I get requests for help but I also get a lot of nonsense bullsh!t.
So last night I reached a crossroads concerning Bodyspace. For some time now I have been annoyed as shit about the inappropriate messages, invitations to hook up, requests for naughty pics, idiotic comments and general ass-holery that I have been a witness to while a member here. I proceeded to pull my entire gallery, most of my progress pics and all but three profile pics to choose from. And then I even contacted Richard to ask what I need to do to close my Bodyspace account. Let me just say that I was feeling pretty pissy about the whole day and this frustration just added to my pissiness.
Later in the evening I had a telephone conversation with my boyfriend. He brought up a valid point….I can still be helpful by blogging about my fitness journey….food I eat, workout routine, supplements taken and their benefits and so on… With his encouragement, I have decided to give it another chance and stay a member. His ENCOURAGEMENT is very important to me….I am sticking around to ENCOURAGE others….I don’t need a boyfriend—I ALREADY have a pretty damn amazing one, thank you very much!
Oh, yeah….the answer to the question is…..TO BODYSPACE!

I agree with you for the most part but this site if used correctly is pretty amazing… Just ignore the fools on the site that request all the stupid things. My recommendations is to stay and help others… Speaking of… when you get a chance now I got a question to ask you about your success and how you accomplished your goals.

yep.. helping people is a good thing..but ya don’t have to help the freaks here "get-off". I would love to see a request removal button for innapropriate solicitations…once a certain number is reached you’re banned.
Anywho… glad you are still here helping people.

PG…I live in NYC so I’m no stranger to freaks lol! Basically, I have my list of friends of people that re nice and respectful and others that are really on here to make a change and improve their health and fitness. Everyone else just goes on ignore. Why get annoyed? It’s their issue, not yours. I simply don’t engage any negativity. Even negative attention is attention so just put any inappropriate person, male or female, on ignore.
