in Motivation and Support
I have never been good at making friends growing up. I think I have had a total of about 3 friends in my entire life that I felt comfortable with. They were in middle school.
Now, I feel like it would be really helpful to have someone that I can talk to and actually connect with in a friendship way. Someone who has a lot of weight to lose, someone who understands the ups and downs of weight loss, someone who can text me when I need someone to talk to or who can text me when they need someone to talk to, someone who needs a friend who will always be there, someone who can send pictures of meals daily and someone who can just keep me accountable and be accountable as well.

I would love to feel like I just plain connect with someone on a friendship level so that I don't feel so abnormal. No one realizes what I a doing when it comes to my weight loss... people try to be supportive but, it doesn't work because they don't know what they are saying. I guess I am just looking for a friend that won't give up and won't do wrong with me. I am not judgemental, I text as much as possible, I log daily, I have an open diary, I am motivating, I am positive and I am a good person.

Anyone can message me anytime. Thanks for reading.

    You can text with me! I am socially awkward in real life and on the phone/skype, but I can text! I have a daughter and am trying to lose 60+ lbs so we have a lot in common. I'm already on your friend list on here, so you can send me a PM if you want. :)

    I know how you feel a bit. I have one great friend that is also trying to loose weight but right now her life is so busy with her kids that she is just maintaining. I get lots of compliments and well dones!! But when I try to talk weight loss with my husband his eyes just glaze over.

    Hey, Any of you are welcome to add me as a friend, I have very few people on here but I would love to find someone that write at least a few times a week if not everyday! I just started my weight loss journey January 2013, I have faithfully recorded everyday even the over the calories days. Look forward to chatting with some of you.
