Serious clean up of the friends list. Can anyone relate??

jedikrissy

So, I just did a serious clean up of my friends list because I am tired of be the support to everyone and not getting it back. Or just for the reason that some people just aren't committed or are not trying!!!! Anyone else have this issue?????
Look I don't mean to rant, I understand that every person can not comment on every single little thing that I do every day. I can't always comment every day but I always do my best to let people know when I am away and I always give support. I am also sick of supporting people that have been my friends for 4 plus months and all they do is wine that nothing is working! Hello!!!! I see your diary and posts, If you do nothing but eat crap all the time and don't exercise of course nothing will happen!
( OK that was my rant :noway: )
But seriously MFP is the only support I have in my weight loss journey and I have some awesome friends on here. I am just looking for more people that are like minded in giving support and being there for each other. No one should have to go this journey alone and I welcome any friend requests from anyone that feels the same or has had the same issue as me.

Cheers

feel free to friend me. i have cleaned up my friends list many times, just dont feel guilty about it. i have cleaned it up to two reasons. one, if they arent supporting me. if its been a month and you havent commented one time or you havent logged on in over a month, and usually thats because the account has been deactivated usually. as long as im encouraged i am more than happy to do that to others as well.

i understand about cleaning up friends
i have had to do that a couple times
i am not doing so well lately but it is my own fault and i don't whine on here about it
i still try to be supportive of the people who are doing much better than me

I have to admit, I think we all want at least minimal reciprocation on our support. Not every day but once in a while. i have a lot of friends, maybe 10 of the 50 plus are regular 2 way support. Most are pretty passive but at least the ones remaining after my last cleanup actually log in, lol. I think for your own sanity you occassionally have to free yourself of the chaff.

It's ok Lisa I know you work evenings like me, It's harder to be around when you work/keep odd hours. What happened to kitty? I mean the other kitty lol

It's funny you say that cause I do kinda feel bad about deleting so many people

Hi.
I am new to gathering pals. I thought I would check out what all your post are about. To sum it up -it's better to have quality than quantity. Well better get back to my home page and cheer on my 20 pals¡I guess I am doing the right thing.I thought I might be becoming a pest by always commenting:glasses: cool
