New: Need Female Support
MrsJ11
Posts: 2
I have joined this site today in hopes of turning my body into something I can be proud of. Over the past ten years I have let myself go. I have continued to let my weight get out of control to the point where I don't even recognize myself anymore. I started 2013 with the pledge to lose this weight. Which has been my resolution every year for the past ten. Well, it's almost March and I have actually gained more weight. I do not want 2014 to ring in with the same resolution. I want to ring 2014 with pride that I finally accomplished what seems impossible.
I know that I can not do this alone and even though I have a wonderful support system in my awesome husband I know I need female support. As much as he tries to understand the differences in men/women weight loss he just doesn't get it. He can lose weight by just saying the word "diet". I have lots of friends but most are skinny and don't get it either and the ones that aren't are not willing to do this with me or they are bad influences. I need people that are going to support me and call me out when needed. So, if you can be there for me and you are wanting someone that can be there for you then send me a friend request.

Good for you, MFP should really help and as long as you keep thinking about your end goal/weight and how it will be worth it! MFP is great for motivation for when you're feeling a bit down. I understand completely, I have tons of slim friends and so at times feel like Im going at this alone. I'll send you a friend request0

Congrats for joining! I love this site. I never really realized how bad I was treating my body. Well, I kind of knew, since I would gain weight year after year. But, just logging in my foods has really helped me.
