Starting roughly two hours after jessieblueaz's reply, dozens of commenters pushed back, arguing that basic tasks can be major accomplishments for people with chronic illness, depression, or disability, and calling the original reply insensitive.
“If you've never been at a point where getting out of bed or brushing your teeth was a struggle then you're in no place to judge what someone counts as success.”

What a terrible thing to say to someone. People have chronic illnesses, depression, and are dealing with things that you know NOTHING about and maybe getting out of bed and cooking is their biggest accomplishment that day. Let them celebrate it. Your response is extremely insensitive & inflammatory.

what an ignorant and awful thing to put in someone’s mentions that you know nothing about.

Clapping now. My British room mate is a good cook. We don't have to rely on all that new technology to run up your credit card bills. Hungry? We have CHAP for that! (Gus is here all week.)

Have had a bunch of surgeries over the last few years and was physically unable to cook for a long time, so I had to rely on being able to order my lunches. Got into the habit and it has been hard to break out of.

I’m not worthy 🌟 for you I had to go out to get a baconeggandcheese on a bagel even tho I have all that in the fridge. Just looked at the pan and said “nope”

Clap clap. That’s my goal this week. Use up all the stuff waiting in my freezer and cupboards. Homemade chicken and rice soup for supper.

Amazing! 💯 I dont know if I would have the willpower once the app was open to change course. 👏

That is exactly how I usually am. And I will never judge anyone for getting the bagel.

Ah but it’s also good to encourage others who are starting on a journey.

Beating Big Restaurant at their own game! I approve!

I learned that as a boy , I think back at the thousands I've saved since I learned to cook , I don't order from a pizza joint anymore, they couldn't touch this loaded pizza for less than 25 bucks my cost 10 bucks and I can make 3 of them
