I do, but then I "hide" them on my wall because I'm not interested in daily updates of people's diet and exercise routines. I don't plan on posting anything about my daily activity...I'll comment in the boards, but I'm not going to broadcast my "completed day" to everyone. Are there other benefits to having friends (official, added "friends") on here?
Most of the people on my friends list post stuff about their life (like a sort of FB I guess?) rather than diet or fitness stuff. Sometimes, there will be questions about diet or health related topics, mostly because they are looking for insight.
I don't see too many posts like what you are describing, thankfully.
The benefit is to have like-minded people around who can give you insight when you have a question, or check in on you when you're not doing so well (if you let it be known you aren't doing well, that is).2 -
Everyone's home is/are nicer than mine. Will I ever get to live in a nice home? Or be permanently stuck renting *kitten* places from *kitten* landlords?
Even at the cleanest level my home ever is, I still feel gross and sad about it. I'm not sure this feeling will ever leave.5 -

How can we catch up on sleep in a short time...🤔🤔🙂
Big question!?....
My body reboots me. Every couple of weeks, I'll have a day where I am just so freaking tired I cannot stay awake. I have to stay home because I fall asleep sitting up, I've dozed off eating and even drinking (with liquid in my mouth!) When I'm sleeping, I'm so tired I'm dreaming about being tired and falling asleep.
I feel like today is a reboot day. It's been really challenging to function today4 -
Starting to regret posting in MFP. When I told people I had body image issues, they ridiculed me and said I was stupid for resenting/hating the remarks I got and that I didn't have real problems because some people would dig how I looked, hence I had no reason to hate it.
I don't want people to tell me I look awesome how I am (I don't even have any real pix posted here). I don't want to hear how brave and strong and great I am because if I was that way, I wouldn't be this overweight. I don't want people to give me platitudes about "each journey starts with a single step", even though I acknowledge they mean well and want to encourage me.
I haven't completely given up on myself, but is there a corner in MFP for jaded/cynical people who don't like or respond to "you can do it!" messages from strangers or about how it's wrong to lose weight before you date because The Right Person Will See Your Inner Beauty and Will Not Care What You Look Like Because Only Shallow People Who Are Not Worth Your Time Do That?2 -

I used to have those when I was much younger. Now my body just gradually slows, like each day is a half life of the day before, but it continues to function, somehow.
So see, you're still young!

My apologies if you felt I was ridiculing or mocking you in any way, shape or form, or even if you felt I was insinuating you were somehow stupid. I do not feel that way in least and would never do that to someone. Not even an internet stranger.
I won't say any more on this topic. I just wanted to offer an apology if I miscommunicated, or was tone deaf.7 -
I wasn't talking about you. I appreciated your last message.
I wish I hadn't come here.9 -

You're not leaving are you??
I'm playing with the idea 3 -
You must not do that. It upsets the equilibrium of all that's good. And might make some of us sad.

Can’t stand people who sit their in self pity comparing what they have VS what others have. You want something work for it, HUSSLE. You chose your path, stop trying to make others feel bad for you, always whining like a damn eeyore.
I’m talking about some lady comparing herself to others. And blaming everyone else but herself. I want this I want that, she’s skinny I’m not, They have a nice house, wah wah wah omg. Well work for it.8 -

Ok, you want the truth, ill tell you what your brain is telling you.stop whining about what you arent and doing something about it. You are right, you shouldnt post here because all these nice people want to encourage you.....but you dont want that....you want that weakass feeling of doing nothing and then feeling sorry for yourself. You have two voices in your head....the *kitten* *kitten* voice that whines and says why me? And its just not worth it.....and you have the background voice that knows damn well how your living sucks and you should do something about it. Pick a voice to follow and move on.
I have no idea what you look like so im not gonna comment on how you look....but you sure as hell should not go out there dating with that victim *kitten* frame of mind. Fix your head, then get after it.....or not. Either way, pick a side and make peace with it so you stop complaining and blaming others for being postive.
Hows that?16 -
I am very impressed by your forceful tone. When I posted that I didn't want a bunch of feel-good platitudes, what I was hoping was for some hard-*kitten* to tell me to stop whining. "Tough love." I also liked you saying I shouldn't post here, though I'm guessing that was some sort of reverse psychology.1

Nope.....i dont do reverse psychology. If you dont think you belong here.....im not one to beg you to stay. We all got that whiney voice that you are listening to right now....if you dont post here anymore, ill know which voice you decided to listen to. Anyone who says they want to change and does nothing about it, is lying. You choose to do what you want.....its either stay the same or not. But its hard to change so thats why its a lie to say you want it. You want the easy path. Plain and simple. Nobody is stopping you from changing, except *kitten* voice.11 -

Maybe you ought to channel that anger you have towards the people that only meant well and wanted to help, and use it towards strengthening your own weaknesses and overcoming the things you can't control.8 -

She CAN control it. Our minds don't control us. ❤️
Yeh, what I meant didn't come out right.

I honestly think you're asking a lot from a bunch of internet strangers that know absolutely nothing about you. We are not therapists, we're mostly cheerleaders.
Good luck on your journey. I hope you find what it is you need within yourself. Behind that anger is most likely a very broken person....I've been that person.
I agree. Thanks for being honest. I've been told before that I expect too much from people. I'm just surprised that the cheerleading works for a lot of people. It may work for me a little bit, but if I were to say "I lost 10 lbs" and get 30 thumbs-up for it, it wouldn't make any difference in how I felt about it.0 -
Ya know what? Eff them, Ms. @HerNameIsMischief. Eff each and everyone of them that makes you feel regretful for anything.
They would do well reading some of these books and as far as I’m concerned each and every one of them can FOAD.

Maybe not FOAD but definitely FO for sure! 😆 😜
I am not the one who disagreed2 -

I'm pretty sure @hernameismischief is a he. Or maybe I'm wrong. And he basically said he was pissed off by sunshine and flowers and preferred the smack talk.
But I was wrong before. Could be now.6 -
^ I stand corrected and will own my eff up too.
But, anyone who makes someone regretful for trying to be better I will stand by my statement.
I’m sorry if I misunderstood.
Which I did. Eff me.
Sorry. I’ll go back to my hole.7 -

Tman... Never hide. You are a kind person who reaches out to protect people in need. You saw a need and you reached out in defence. That's awesome in my book.5 -

I’m not sure how people here have responded to you but that aside and in general.. I don’t like the cheerleading either, I mean the ones that comes off so super pretentious and over the top. It’s like small talk to me- people just talking for the sake of talking so pointless.

Trends are so funny, one day we’re trying to have the “perfect” shaped eyebrows, the next trend is the complete opposite. One extreme to the other.
