Ok, I recently had my 365th day on MFP.
I try to respond on most of my friends posts on here - I have 30 friends,
However, after being on here for A YEAR, I would have expected a bit more acknowledgement than I got from so called friends.
I got 6 responses.
Therefore, I am going to decimate my friends list because I need as much help as I feel I give - every day.
I wish you all well and have no regrets from friending you in the first place but, I need more......

You do give, John, every single day. You are a treasured friend I am sorry about the others who did not post, but having them gone from your list, means more attention for me!0

Congrats! thats a lot of dedication there!!
sometimes you either gotta give it time...or just find new friends that are naturally motivating.0 -
Yup if people aren't going to be supportive in return they are just using your energy you could put to better use elsewhere.0

Awe, I'm sorry your friends weren't more supportive. Congratulations though, that's an amazing accomplishment!0

Well, that should teach them.0

See, I'm not reaching out for friends because I'm doing this for me, no-one else. I don't need others to make sure I'm accountable, I'm accountable to myself. So I have a couple of friends, one because she asked and I thought why not, and one because I know her from another forum we're both members of.
But I don't go stalking them every day and comment on everything they do, I feel like that's being really nosy.
I have also seen posts that I totally disagree with, like someone who's consistently eating way under their net calories and doing heaps of exercise, while eating really boring packaged foods day in, day out, and I feel as though they're never going to be able to keep that up, they'll be binging at some point. On these same posts, are people going "way to go!". And I totally don't agree. So I keep quiet.
I wish you well, but remember you don't need anyone else, they're just a bonus. It's all about you and no-one else. It's your journey.0 -
If we were friends I would have given you a shout out.0
-
Sorry you were hurt. Way to go on 365! Thats a big one! :flowerforyou:0

I appreciate my friends on here and love it when I get a comment or post...actually, I look forward to it!! I'm also doing this for ME but it sure helps to have supportive friends, a pat on the back the odd time and a hand to help pick me up when I fall.
That's what friends are for...
Feel free to add me
AND a BIG congratulations on 365 days!!! WOW, what an accomplishment!! :drinker: Cheers0 -
6 is better than 0.0

Don't judge specifically on today's post. Sometimes people just miss things.0

happy 365th first of all. secondly, i actually just deleted 10 of my 55 friends today because of this. if you arent supportive, especially if you are being supportive of others, im deleting you. also if you arent on here at all. also i deleted friends of friends because they arent. some people are just friend *kitten* and the more the have i guess the better they feel. congrats again.0
-
365! That is awesome!!! I am impressed~ Great work on consistantly taking control of your health!
(sorry the folks on your list didn't cheer you on your big day)0 -
Congrats on logging for a whole year! I have noticed people who want support, but don't seem to want to give it in return. This pal thing is supposed to be a two way street, so find people who will give you the support you need and want. Again, congrats!0
