Lady Trucker Seeks Friends

I hate trying to talk about myself on these things....

I'm 30, female, and I'm a long haul flatbed truck driver. From all the stereotypes out there you can probably guess that our lifestyles are not the most healthy, and as I get older I find myself starting to feel it more and more each day. I eat a lot of crap. Yes, no way to sugar coat that. What's worse, is when I'm flatbedding (the trailers with no sides that you see drivers chaining and strapping freight to), my brain gives me an automatic "pass" to feed the calorie monster inside of me that is voracious after loading the truck. I need to stop that - I actually GAIN weight when working out more like this! (and it's not muscle mass to be sure).

Looking for some friends to help me stay on the straight and narrow. I mostly use the mobile apps, so until MFP gets around to giving me forum access, most of my communication is stuck in messages and notes. I would love to find other truckers who understand the difficulties of being healthy on the road, but RV-ers and anyone who thinks we might click are welcome too!
