    I see this too. I love coming on here becuase I feel like I am back at college when I was majoring in education and everyone was there for one purpose. It is just like that here we are all on MFP with the same intentions and goals like people majoring in changing their mind to change and become healthier through diet and fitness. Sometime in your life you feel out of place but when you see other who are doing the same you get to see your not abnormal there are others like you.

    That is cool. You will love teaching it is very rewarding to build bonds with the kids and be their role model and hero to them. I teach at a low income school and I really love my kiddos. I see them and remember my childhood and the beautiful innocense of having no care in the world :)

    it certainly is ...by logging what I am eating has made me realise how much I was overeating on stuff I didn't need to eat , I just wanted it , I have lost a few pounds , its hard going but I feel so much better for it , for me knowing that others can see what I am eating really helps me keep track of things , its so easy to pop something in the mouth without thinking ! we are all doing great on here ...keep it up everyone :-)

    That is so sweet of you, you must be a great teacher! I would love watching the kids learn and grow and knowing that I had part in it! And yes this site does definitely help me eat better knowing that everyone can see what im eating haha. :)

    I admire the heck out of teachers, I'd be up on charges in my first month, I reckon!

    But it is a great site, the forums are a lot of fun, they are supportive and informative but tough love when they need to be, and hysterically funny a lot of the time.
