in Introduce Yourself
Hi all
I'm new to MFP and although I joined a year ago I never really focussed on it and soon gave up. Anyway, since then I'm in the process of divorcing my husband. I live alone with my two lovely teenagers and between them and my job I find I'm really busy. The weekends are a different matter though, as I've realised I have no friends at all. I see people around me spending their time with friends, doing lovely things together and I feel so incredibly lonely. Apart from being friendly with people at work, I don't have a soul I can call a friend who actually wants to spend time with me.
So, with MFP and help from you lovely people in the forums, hopefully I can turn things around, lose some weight, gain some confidence and go out there and find some friends. x
ps. I'll post a picture as soon as I find a decent one :)

    hello and welcome,

    i'm in a similar situation as you except i'm not divorcing my husband..yet!

    I don't have anyone I can call either to help me or comfort me when I need it and it's awful. my self esteem is in the negative and i can't even count on my family.

    anyway, feel free to add me as a friend!! maybe we can help each other.

    Hey Jojo,

    I would absolutely love to connect. I just started on this site and could use the kinship as well. :)

    You're going through tremendous changes at the moment, so try to go easy on yourself. As you build more confidence, you will gain many new friends, and in the meantime, you have a really great opportunity to discover and celebrate all of the wonderful things within.

    Friend request incoming...

    I could use some friends for some support and motivation too as I find that it's a waning a bit. I'm going to friend request a few of you guys. Good luck with your journeys!
