in Introduce Yourself
I don't normaly post.. but here is the deal.. I need friends that can motivate me!! I am NOT a perfect person. I see so many perfect people here with there perfect diets and bodies.. that's not me... I want that to be me but until I reach that.. be warned.. I do get frustrated and just need friends to help me through this. I have worked for 5 weeks and am starting to burn out. I had a friend delete me today because I was gone 5 days longest in 5 weeks.. came on and I posted about my *struggles* not complaining just being outright about what I did wrong... I felt horrible already and even more after they deleted me.. I just need support and understanding. I'm not a perfect person at all. But I am a great person and friend and love everyone.

    I can't believe someone deleted you for being away 5 days! So much for support!

    I've been doing this for 19 months, but only on MFP for 250 days of it. So I can understand getting fed up sometimes!

    I'm by no means perfect, nor do I have a perfect body, so feel free to add me.

    Feel free to add me. I've been on here for a year and I love it. I too am not a perfect person (who is?) and I like being pals with people who are encouraging and kind but don't preach at me. This is a marathon not a sprint.

    You need to realize that getting deleted happens. It's happened to me and probably everyone else at least once. They weren't right for you or didn't understand you and it's ok. Just move on down the road.

    As for struggles - how would you know the feeling of success if you didn't fail a time or two along the way? Failure is an event - not a person. We all have eaten things we shouldn't have, not worked out like we wanted to, etc., etc. The key is to start each day new with the commitment to do your best!

    Good Luck!!

    Geesh. I've had people make those types of threats, 'If you don't log on for X amount of days, I'm deleting you!' Or, 'If you're eating too little/too much/too much junk I'm deleting you!' I actually shut down my old MFP account and started anew without all the added pressure.

    I am looking for normal, middle-of-the-road peeps like myself that have a life outside of fitness and exercise (read: other things to do besides comb over diaries and worry about who has or hasn't logged in lol)

    Anyway, you can add me (or anyone can for that matter) if you would like.

    You can add me :)

    I'm not perfect either, I have setbacks every week but I keep powering through (I'm stubborn haha) :) I think I'm living proof that you can lose weight even when you binge every now and then. I'm supportive and positive and I like helping my pals :) I only delete friends when a/ they don't interact with me or b/ don't log for more than a month.

    Good luck, you can do it, girl! xx

    *stands up*
    *sings "Nobody's Perfect" by Miley Cirus*
    *looks around awkwardly because a 27 year old should probably not be singing this, but since she has a kid brother and two young kids, she feels slightly justified*

    In other words: I can be requested/added. :-)
