You, yes and even you.

I want more friends to share journeys with. I am a hardcore voyeur who loves to look at peoples diaries to get food and exercise inspiration!

A little about me, well, I am a chef and an amateur writer, who's hoping that one day I will be able to coherently put together a novel on food, food culture and my personal experiences. I'm also a traveler who thinks that food is, quite literally, the cornerstone of modern society. Food is a complex, amazing, inspiring aspect of daily life and not just fuel to me. I'm actually here to lose extra weight so I can do more, let's say, rustic travels without being hindered by being a bit on the chubby side.

I'd love to have friends who are interested in reading my blog and who like to share their own experiences too. And even recipes, I covet peoples personal, and family, recipes like dragons covet gold and maidens.

So please, let me be your friend!

    No takers? This makes me sad :frown: :brokenheart: :sad:

    Maybe smileys will help? :flowerforyou:

    Or maybe I am not selling myself well enough? Oh, no wait, I know! I'm coming across too strongly! Maybe it's the stench of desperation...

    I just got up. I'm eating 21DSD right now so I'm trying to share the recipes that I've been making. Feel free to add me.

    I and even I have sent a friend request. I can be a good bad example since I've gone off-track a few times. I have a more realistic food attitude and focus this time around.

    You can add me. I worked in Hospitality Management for 11 years and consider myself a damn fine cook. I am not very well traveled, but I can cook like it!

    I don't have trouble making friends in the physical world but haven't been able to here. I could really use some encouragement.

    Don't be sad, maybe people are just shy this morning!

    I'm not on MFP as much these days and I don't log my food or exercise anymore. (I got too obsessive about logging every single calorie and it sort of took over my life... so I am tracking eats and exercise old school with paper and pencil now.)

    That being said, I would still like to be your friend.

    I love to cook, but by no means am I a chef. I like to take favorite recipes and convert them to healthier versions. I am also a writer. I am working on several plays and a musical right now and eventually my shows will be produced on Broadway! Most of all, I love to eat and I truly enjoy working out!

    Happy Tuesday!

    FR sent. My food diary is boring, but I've been on here a while and lost a lot of weight along the way. Anyone else can feel free to add me. I support and like to be supported. I've just started adding friends, so as long as we interact I won't delete you.

    I sent you a friend request. I like to cook (not a chef by any means though!) and very often make up my own recipes or modify existing ones to make them a little healthier and I would love to share recipes!

    To be frank, I am totally overwhelmed. Never in my life did I realise that smileys would have such.. power. I need to use this knowledge for good, I think.

    And thank you everyone!

    And I don't believe that you need formal training to be a fantastic cook. I'm pretty certain that I sometimes make terrible meals despite (in spite?) of mine.
