Imperfections Make You Unique.

The Google ADS

Hey guys,

Just a quick thank you for everything that you do to make this site so special and I want to let you know we are well aware of the strange ads Google puts on this site. We are not in control and unfortunately will have to just ignore them until we get the next phase of our planning set in motion - part of which includes NO GOOGLE ADS!

I appreciate your patience and support.

It's most likely just the Google tool seeing all this about not caring about your shape or size, taking out the shape and size words, and then spitting out ads about how to 'fix' your shape or size. Fail Google, fail.; ▶ Reply to This

Recently I had a discussion about your motives (which I am sure you are aware of what I am referring to because it has been removed from the site) and like I said there I’ll say here your personal life is your business not ours. I am just so intrigued that you would take the time out of your schedule to try and help people who you don’t even know. Some who don’t even listen to your band? Without discrimination you welcome all, and I think this country, no this world could stand to learn something from you.
As for the Google ads, they are rather annoying. But I like to think that those who are struggling with their weight and acceptance of their body type could see these as a sort of strength test. “Do I click the ad?” “Do I really need to?” I can’t really explain it better than that; I am not very good with words.
Again we think you for your help, and for caring enough to deal with this little problem, imagine what you’d do with the big ones if given the chance.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Ash on November 7, 2008 at 7:51am: I understand how they would make you feel worse, because you come here to feel better about yerself and meet people who are going through the same things as you (i assume), and the last thing you want to see is an ad telling you about flat stomachs and what not. So don't get me wrong i am not saying that you should all "get over it" or something in the like. I try to think optimisticly and personaly if i had issues with my body i would think of it as a will power test. But that's just me, no two people are the same and i understand that to.
Good luck with what ever yer going through.; ▶ Reply to This

I did, indeed, hear about the hater on the site and from what was relayed to me, I didn't understand the point this critter was trying to make: I workout, yes. I watch what I eat, yes. I count carbs, yes. I date models, sometimes, yes. I have small dogs, yes. And all that is in conflict with this site, how?

I believe in a strong body, strong mind, strong spirit. Accepting yourself for who you are is what this site is all about - but it in no way is meant to stop anyone from working on being healthier, or from becoming a stronger person (inside and out). There's no room for silliness like that here and anything like it will be removed. I have the best intentions for this site and want nothing but positive energy here.

Again, thanks to everyone for making this site so special. This is only the beginning.; ▶ Reply to This

Thats your personal preference and no one should ever judge you based on that, besides, You are just taking care of yourself!I personally have a hard time making myself work out...i'm not fat but i am a little too pudgy for my preference...no one else's but me. No one's opinions matter to me but my own. i don't think that i NEED to lose a few pounds i mean i might be a little over weight (im 16 ,4'9", and 115lbs) but its not a big enough problem for me to do something it. I hope this makes sense to you lol i kinda just went off there sorry:) and i hate that girls feel like they need to change themselves to please people...i don't know...thats how i feel...:)
P.s...i love you...:) lol; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Miss Amanda on November 13, 2008 at 7:09am: It's just a meer problem..sorry but there are more important things to worry about then these ads... yes we know how to get bras and get flat stomach... blah blah blah.. not as important as the rationale that brought us here as a unity.

to the haters, we'll you know what i got this to say...we are stronger then that!!!! "you may cut us with your words but like air we will still rise"...Maya Angelou. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Your ignornance and negativity WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!!; ▶ Reply to This
