I want some real friends

I know this is a dull topic, and I am unsure where to post (seeing a few other people look for friends here and in other forums) but in all serious it is true.
I want some real friends who actually will message me and keep in contact. Hell, I wouldn't even mind having someone to text throughout the day when I am getting a serious craving! I really need support, and I know if someone is supporting me and I am supporting them it will help me get through it all. I have gone to the lowest of my low. In 2006 I lost 40lbs and I have now gained over half of that back. It happened so quickly that I don't even feel like I am in my own body anymore. I am hoping to lose 10lbs at a slow and healthy rate.
My biggest challenge is binge eating. I am an emotional and bored binge eater. I haven't always been like this. When I originally was heavier it was due to lack of exercise and not eating right. I never was a binger. This is something new and almost uncontrollable for me. I have been fighting it for over half a year now and it is making me become someone I am not.
Any takers? ^_^

You can get over the emotional/stress eating cycle, it just takes a different mindset...what got you to that place to binge? I know that when I restrict myself for more than 4 days, I feel like I eat everything in the kitchen, especially after losing a lb, I usually splurge that day. But, then, I am back to trying to get back to my lowest weight!!! What I have found to help get support is to just comment on others' postings to support them in their need. I know that I reap what I sow, so I know that making the effort to encourage someone else will bring leaps & bounds when I need it most! Hang in there... You don't have to go back to "starting over." Just stay focused & determined to log your food & workouts everyday. Remember, the scale cannot fight against low calories & sweat. Measure everything you eat, shoot! Even overestimate if you need to!

I do the same thing I tend to binge eat when I am upset as well, but I am so determined to lose weight I have to think mind over matter and plus I have found a strategy when I get hungry after I have already ate dinner or I get bored or upset I drink a glass of almond milk and it fills me up and curves my cravings. You can do it!! you did it once before you can do it again!! and fill free to add me as well!!0

Go ahead and add me. I'm trying to not emotionally eat right now. Just tried to order pizza delivery and fortunately the place was closed. Just trying to fight depression right now while still achieving my own goals. It's tough, but I know that I have to fight through it.

I know whats its like to go though it alone and without support. So im happy to lend a ear and such if it can help. Feel free to add.0

Sure, if you want you can add me.
I'll try to go on most days if you want me to. I don't mind getting new friends on here.0 -
Feel free to add me. I am online every day 0
-
Online throughout the day. Add me and I'll help the best I can.0

I sent a FR. I know how you feel. Hitting the lowest of lows is not a good feeling. Just remember you do have people that care for you, friends, family, online friends! Keep your chin up and kick some *kitten*!!! Take care!0

Remember that 'real friends' goes both ways, you gotta be honest and open-minded about suggestions or accountability. This means open diary too If you're cool with this then I'd be happy to support each other. I'm on MFP a few times a day. 0

Feel free to add me! I am on everyday and will try my best to help keep you motivated!0

I was a big binge eater totally driven by emotion. Since August 1st I have set tools (and support) in place that have eliminated situations where I am not in full control. 37lbs gone so far and another 40 or so to go. I am a totally motivated individual, motivating friend and I am on MFP all day tracking everything that passes my lips. We all need support, I would be happy to help!0

You can add me, I understand where your coming from, the more help and support you can get the better0

I'm in the exact same boat as you are. I see people are looking for friends on here and I wouldn't even mind having someone to text and talk to through out the day for motivation. I just had a baby two weeks ago while I was in the process of trying to lose weight and gained it all back plus a lot more. (eating for two anyone? lol) I will add you 0

Hey girl, you can add me too (anyone can, if you want to
). I'm also looking for someone to talk to, and it sure would be nice to give and get support. I'm afraid texting me accross the ocean could be too expensive, but I'm usually on MFP a few times a day, so it's probable that I'll reply fast (unless I'm asleep) to any message I get. 0 -
I can totally relate. Feel free to add me!0
-
I understand where you're coming from. Feel free to add me. I'm getting started on my new eating and exercise routine too. It's great to have people for support and it's a great feeling to offer support as well. 0
-
yes i am happy to do that we can give each other diet tips too?0
-
Sure you can add me if you'd like ^^ I'm on here everyday and struggle with similar problems.0
-
Feel free to add me. I can always use more motivational/accountability friends. Im on here pretty much everyday. Just remember its progress, not perfection :-)0
-
I'm in the same boat with depression. Takes so much willpower to not eat a box of Mac & cheese or a whole pizza! Good luck to you 0
-
Hey, feel free to add me if you like. I log in every day and I'll support you as much as possible 0
-
Feel free to add me! I have a while heck if a lot more to lose than you do but I'm still on here everyday!0
-
Add me! I'm on all the time and I'd text you whenever you feel down or need motivation! I need some friends on here as well 0
-
Im ALWAYS on here. Feel free to add me, it makes weight loss so much easier w support. I have been on here for a few months consistently now, but have just recently started reaching out for motivation and support from other fitness pals!0
-
Awww man...all these people to choose from means the fake perverted friend wont get picked....good luck...0
-
Feel free to add me too!
I prefer to have people I actually talk to and get to know on there over just randoms who you know nothing about!
Plus I work on a computer all day and my phone is constantly with me! 0 -
I'm looking for more support as well, people who actually log, share diaries and truly have an interest in their success and others as well I have a lot of great support now but te more the merrier, we all share the same goal of wanting to lose or maintain our weight! 0
