Friends?

I have no idea what I need in an MFP friend. I typically track for a few days. Feel a bit stressed about my imperfection - be it in food choices, or weight lost, or exercise intensity - and quit.

This time around, I've tracked for nearly a month and a half and am struggling with my brain far more than my body. I've always had these ideas of transformation and getting "perfect" that have put a stranglehold on any actual change. A bit of therapy under my belt and I'm starting to wean myself off these bad ideas I've made North Stars and just am being guided by the premises of track everything, do 10 minutes of exercise everyday, and give yourself a whole year before you decide to wave the white flag.

For me, I guess, I am looking for people to talk to that want to laugh about the weirdness, the awkwardness, the pressures and impulses of trying to manage your weight. Folks that can check in on me and say, hey, remember how in February, you were talking about how you just wanted to do this for a year and see what happened. People I can do that for as well. Mutual support for the big picture stuff.

I have a couple blog posts up and expect to continue on with it...so, I guess, hi and say hi if any of this resonates for you.
