Living life in colour: A new way of living in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

At the height of my addictive eating, at my grossest weight, I could not stand the colour pink. I felt repulsed wearing pink because it highlighted and illuminated my heavy set body.

Today I woke early in the morning, dressed in the dark and came downstairs to call my sponsor. After receiving an engaged signal, I went to the bathroom and saw that my slippers and bed socks were pink. My dressing gown is one hairy, fluffy, pink hooded coat. My glove body scrubs are pink and my bath towel is pink.

Facebook deleting post.

Attached is a message I received from FB, which states it has reviewed my appeal and my post does not adhere to the standards.
It then goes on to say it can not show me the offending post as that is against the standards.
A couple things struck me
1) I do not have a clue what they are talking about.
2) I have not appealed any removed posts,
3) As I have no idea what the post was that they say they deleted, and what they call SPAM, so I am likely to repeat it at some time.
I was deregistered for something like this a few years back and all my friends, contacts, posts and photographs were deleted, never to be resurrected.
Has anyone had this just recently?
TIA
