in Introduce Yourself
My name is Jackie and I have been gone from MFP for a while. I have no excuses for my absence and I figured out a long time ago that I can not take this journey alone. I have no motivation and very little self control. My friend is on MFP and has been forever and she is doing great! She has a great support group and I am hoping to gain the same. I am an emotional eater and I have tried every diet on the market. I don't want to be skinny, I just want to be healthy and happy, but I can't do it alone!!

    I'll send you an invitation to be my pal. :-) I can totally relate to what you live. I did the same thing and am back for a bit over a month, already lost 11 pounds (first month is the easiest...). Now things will get trickier by the week and we'll all have to help each other. If you feel responsibility towards your pals, chances are you'll feel like you have to stick to their goals. Lets do it for ourselves, but lets not let each other down! :-)

    Just back on and I also have very little will power. I'm good until I see food, and if I'm hungry, look out. But, I will always keep trying.

    You sound exactly like me!! I am an emotional eater too, and I have been off and on this site so many times you would think it's a bad relationship. But now I love it! So many people who care and are in the same struggle. Lately the past 2 weeks I have beeen folowing my diet and exercise, but at night it's like fighting an addiction to not overeat carbs, and stop at dinner. I know I will go 2 weeks on, and 2 weeks off my diet, or a month on, then go 3 months off. What happens is I just gain the weight back. It's so depressing. Especially when I look in the mirror and know I can look really good.

    What really changed me recently was this guy wo told me I'm fat and most guys won't be into me because of that. Although it hurt to the core, and maybe wasn't true, it got me to get back on it. When someone says anything like that, instead of fall into a depression I get off my butt and say, "OH, really? I'll show you!" you can do it. you have me as a friend. I'll be your support.
