BACK after a year MIA... WOMEN ONLY

dme1977

Hey ALL...
Let me just start off by saying that event though I haven't been faithfully logging EVERY DAY and I haven't stuck to my exercise routine in over a year I have only gained back 5 -7 pounds.
That being said, my body has turned back to being a FLABBY mess though.:sad:
Last year my longterm boyfriend and I split after 8 years ( and 1 beautiful child) together:brokenheart:
I lost the drive and motivation to STAY in touch with MFP friends so I deleted EVERYONE and have been sporadically logging since. :frown:
I look back at my pictures from a year ago until now and I cant believe that I just let all my hard work go down the drain:sick:
I am looking once again to find WOMEN who I can be friends with and stay accountable to and with.
Thanks.
:flowerforyou:

I know what you mean. I stopped logging in except occasionally for close to a year and finally came back at the end of January because a friend on FB suggested a group of us start a diet together. I have been on here everyday since and though I don't always do the best I am trying and I know I will get to where I need to be. Like you I only gained back about 8 pounds back but I lost all endurance for exercise.

men can't be friends without giving you attention? I have great men friends on here who are just for support.

Ok, I was thinking that you didn't want men as friends for other reasons (I have met some rape victims who didn't prefer male friends) but... this comment.

So you're saying that any woman on here who has male friends is an attention seeker? What if I told you that I added some of my male friends from MFP on KIK? Does that make me an even bigger attention seeker?

I would have thought THIS /\ answer was enough...

Since I NEED to re quote myself :

I AM NOT AN ATTENTION SEEKER OF MEN.
NOT SAYING YOU ARE.

BUT FOR *ME*
I {PREFER} WOMEN FRIENDS ON HERE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT ANY *UNWANTED* MALE ATTENTION.

I do think of myself as quite a catch thank you :laugh:

I don't "friend" males either. I'll talk to them on open forum only. It's my own thing. Everyone else is free to do their own thing.

I thought I ALSO said this but not sure what all the fuss is about...

I am NOT about DRAMA so I will not continue to respond to it.

You think you'd get unwanted male attention?



Some of the most brilliant people I've met here have been men. Why write off an entire gender just because you think a couple or one of them may hit on you or give you a compliment that you then likely take the wrong way only because they are a man and then you get your panties all bunched up? I'm a rape survivor and my rapist was a man, but I don't write off men just because they're men. I've received a couple of somewhat pervy messages from a couple of guys but I was mature enough to respond appropriately.

Give the men a chance, and don't label the rest of us who do have male friends as 'attention seeking'. We're not.

Cheers.

While I FULLY respect EVERYONES opinions and rights to choose and share,

HERE IS MY RIGHT:

I have the RIGHT to CHOOSE to NOT have male friends on here.

MEN
. do NOT have the same body as mine, so are NOT on the weight loss journey " I " am on.
.They have different caloric needs than I do with different macros, so therefore only have book or head knowledge of a WOMANS weight loss journey.
.They have NEVER given birth, so my TARGET areas are something they do NOT have personal KNOWLEDGE about.
AND
. Although I have my own PERSONAL reasons for NOT wanting male friends I have CHOSEN to NOT disclose those, so if this means I am "writing off" a whole group of people ...so be it .

it also means, IF THEY ARE CONTACING ME PERSONALLY THAT IT IS *UNWANTED* ATTENTION.
ATTENTION THAT I AM *NOT* SEEKING.

WHICH CAN BE MOSTLY ***AVOIDED** BY NOT HAVING THEM AS FRIENDS.

THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING **MY RIGHTS** AS MUCH AS I HAVE RESPECTED YOURS TO CHOOSE AND DO AS **YOU** WISH TO.

please continue to rant and rave over something that is as simple as me asking for women only as friends.

Sheesh, people will pick that one thing out of a post and just run it into the freaking ground. Who cares if she only wants to be friends with women. Why question it like she somehow was making a statement about others that choose differently? DME1977, you are entitled to only be friends with women if that is what you feel is right for you. You owe NOBODY an explanation for that. I can't believe the audacity of some people.
