    That's not so odd, friends and family will often judge you or try to sabotage you.
    It's good to be part of a community where most of us have the same goals.

    I sent a friend request. I can't talk to my female friends because when I start losing more than the ones that are also trying, jealousy ruins everything. I feel uncomfortable around anyone thin because I feel they are laughing inside at the idea of someone my size exercising. And of course the classic "hubby who thinks I will leave him if I lose weight". :)

    Oh my. This is too close to home. LOL! Just send me a friend request. I totally understand.

    you can add me too. I have been using MFP for about 7 weeks and love it. It really helps to have encouraging friends.

    I don't know if I'm the only one with this mental oddity, but due to (insert long story here) I can not stand discussing dieting or weight loss with friends/family.

    But I would really like a few people to keep tabs with so I can brag a little now and then when I do well and get some nudges when I backslide.

    Any total strangers want to act like estranged facebook friends (random 'likes' or comments), myfitnesspal style?

    Unfortunately ~ its the closest friends and family that aren't our first supporters. It's important to find a support group of like minded people heading toward the same goal. I have a Beauty, Health & Fitness group for women on FB if you are interested just send me a PM. All women are welcome. =)
