    Just let people know you want support; they'll respond and send you a friend request, or tell you to make a request to you. I'm sending you a request. Just accept if you're interested. You will see my daily posts; I'll see yours, and we'll encourage each other.

    Hey Maggie,

    Start making friends by finding people in the forums whose posts appeal to you and sending a friend request (with a proper message) to them. Then participate in the forums and people who like your posts will start to friend you too.

    Build up a solid friend list of people you like and agree with, but also of people who you know will call you out on bull**** and keep you motivated and inspired. IMO a friend list full of people who just blow smoke up your backside when you don't deserve it isn't worth having. Real friends will put you back on track as much as they will pat you on the back.

    Thank you all for your insight. @ Captain, I don't do well with "blow smoke" kinda people lol But thanks for the advice.

    I never thought I would find a site like this supportive, but to be honest, I've used it for two days and I already feel soooo much better about what I am trying to accomplish, if anything, I get hungry and get on here to take my mind off of it :)
