Default Suggestion for Topic

I have a suggestion for a new topic in the Low-Carb Support/Focus Group. How about a topic for Body Image Issues? While surfing, I've come across quite a few discussion about this and there seems to be quite a few that are at weight or underweight who are still also trying to lose their "fat" because of how they perceive themselves. Also, I've notice people who have lost a great amount of weight but still see a fat person when they look in the mirror. To be honest, at first I thought, what are these people whinning about, they should have my weight to deal with, but then as I thought about it, I realized that when I lose my weight I might still see that fat person and when I voice my concerns, other's may view it as a non-important issue or whinning too! This is a real serious issue for some and they should have their own topic also. I hope I haven't offended anyone, that wasn't my intention at all. I just needed to remind myself not to criticize someone else until I've walked in their shoes.

This is an excellent idea, and has been suggested a few times before. We have retitled our old "addiction and depression" forum, to:
