in Motivation and Support
Hey everyone,

I am on this journey to weight loss and I am seeing progress so far but I can't help but feel that it's lonely and sometimes I feel like the people around me don't understand. I was just wondering if anyone else felt this way and if you do we can support and motivate each other! I think supporting one another in this type of journey is important since its very difficult

    You have to put yourself first, and surrounding yourself with negativity will only end up hurting you in the long run. Are you sure people around you don't understand, or are you projecting your own fear onto them? Sometimes when we feel lonely or discouraged, we have negative thoughts like "no one understands" and "no one supports me," when we don't really know if that's how others feel. However, if those around you actually are not willing to understand, nor do they support you, you may want to find others that you can confide in (and surround yourself with more positive things!). MFP.com is certainly a great place to start! Feel free to add me as a friend and we can cheer each other on! You are right, having a support system is very important! There are plenty of people on here looking for more support, reach out to them, too! I'm sure you wont be disappointed! :)

    Congratulations on your progress, and keep up the great work!
