Did I break forum rules?

[TXN11]

I started a thread titled "oops I weighed myself" in the "on track / off track" section, then I check back a few hours later, and it's gone. I was wondering if it was just moved to another section, or if it was deleted. If the latter, what rules did I break to prompt such a deletion of a post?

Thanks.

I deleted your post. I meant to private message you at the time, but got distracted. Thanks for asking where it went.

You shared that you were happy with how much weight you had lost after a week of following Whole30 guidelines. Another person replied to your post sharing how happy she was with how much weight she found she had lost when she weighed after a week too. I don't know if you had a chance to see that, but here is the problem. This type of sharing encourages people to weigh themselves. However, we want people to ignore the scale for a month. Knowing what you weigh is not part of developing a healthy relationship with food or your body. And for everyone who is happy with the number they see, others are unhappy.

I am sure you did not mean to encourage anyone to break the Whole30 guideline about not weighing, but that was the effect from my perspective. So, I just deleted the topic.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, and it won't happen again.
