Looking for a texting buddy

I am looking for a texting/emai buddy. Someone to text and say, "its Josh's birthday at work and there are treats, but I am not going to eat them!" type buddy to give support, encouragement and to "get it."

Little about me..30 years old, married, no kids just yet. Husband and I have been together nearly 11 years. I dont want to be the fat mom, so I am trying to slim down (just to pork up in pregnancy! :huh: ) Always been 20-30 lbs over weight since forever. Lost 15 lbs three years ago-felt great, even bought a bikini that I was NOT embarrassed to wear (too bad it was January at the time! lol) Then life fell apart. First I lost my job (company went out of business). Two months later my father in law wound up in ICU. Fast forward 18 months (countless specialists, weeks in and out of the ICU in 5 different hospitals and 2 different states, brain surgery and wires attached to his brain coming out of his skull trying to figure out what was happening to him), he finally died. We never knew what happened to him or what was causing such a wide variety of symptoms. He had been our entire life for those 18 months, in the hospital or at his house 3 hours away, countless missed weeks of work. His illness was all encompassing for us. He died on his 67th birthday. Four months later, when things were finally getting back to normal, my own father wound up in the ICU. A simple cut on his foot had infected and become MRSA. He fought the good fight, but lost his fight against MRSA and died one month shy of his 64th birthday. Over the course of these two years of hell, I gained 80lbs! As of Jan 1 of this year I was exactly 100lbs from my target weight of 170 (this is my target according to some machine at my doctors office). I have lost nearly 30 lbs so far this year.
