leaving mfp

omid990

i've decided to leave mfp. i'm on this site all the time but more as a lurker than an active participant, so i'm probably not all that well recognized. i did not reach my goal nor was i close. for whatever reason, i have not lost any weight since the initial five pounds which was probably water weight anyhow.

i wanted to thank the people on this site for your support. you have all been fantastic. i just need to take and break and focus on some internal issues. i need to reevaluate why i wanted to lose weight in the first place. i've been fighting an eating disorder for some time now and its beginning to become too much. i feel guilty for eating, like i don't deserve food.

maybe one day, when i am more sound of mind, i will be able to return and finally achieve my goal of a happy, healthy body, but not now.

again, i wanted to thank you guys. you have been fantastic

Don't give up. You sound defeated. Below is from your profile:

"My name is Aisha, i'm persian, and i just started my freshman year of college. i'm studying microbiology with a premed focus. i've been trying to lose the same 15 pounds for almost 2 years.i've been on and off on this website for a while. This time, im here to stay. "

Stop lurking and start asking. Stay. You need support so please ask for it from us. I had an eating disorder as a teen. I beat it. You can too.

Giant hugs and blessings,

I'm going to encourage you to do what is right for you today and if that is leaving ok and if it deciding to continue to seek support ok.

many people, including myself, find they need a break from MFP for many different reasons, it doesn't mean you can't come back.

It sounds like you may be struggling with some emotional stuff and a break might be just what you need in order to rethink your goals and what will make you feel better about being who you are. Losing weight does not guarantee personal happiness.

good luck with whatever you decide :flowerforyou:

I agree with Nich0le. You do what it is you need to do. We will be here waiting with open arms to welcome you back. Take care of yourself because only you can. Love yourself cause that is what we all need to do first before we can do what is best for ourselves.:flowerforyou:
