Looking for a dedicated buddy

Hello Everyone - I'm a 23 year old Canadian woman, graduating from university (this week actually!) and I'm looking for a buddy who I can check in with everyday and discuss our progress. I had someone I leaned on during the summer and actually got to know quite well but life happens and we both kinda stopped talking and now she's not on MFP anymore.

Some things about me:

- I'm on everyday
- I try to see the positivity in anything... negativity won't get you anywhere.
- With that said, sometimes you need angry days to give you perspective on the happy days!
- I don't log because I'm lazy and that needs to change
- I'm pretty laid back about things. I won't beat myself up over one cheat meal every so often and I don't think the world will end if I go over calories occasionally.
- I don't exercise everyday and I have been lazy with it recently, since:
- I am also struggling with some anxiety issues and personal problems right now

So, I need someone who I can discuss my progress with and who will motivate me, but not shame me if I don't go to the gym somedays. I need someone who will be understanding that I work 40 hour weeks and struggle mentally sometimes.

If you need someone too or think it will benefit you, send me an message or comment! People can also message whoever else comments in the thread and then maybe some matches can be paired up, so write something about yourself! :)

    I might be up for it?
    I'm 22 and I've only recently restarted this journey but I'm more motivated than ever, yet in a more relaxed and content way this time, which I think is helping me more than stressing over things.
    I've just started my last semester in university and I have every intent on graduating it decently, so sometimes uni will come before gym.
    I am looking for a person to keep myself accountable to, to some extent, and who would be somewhat determined and dedicated to go through with this. I don't mind picking you up and cheering you on from time to time though as it happens to everyone and that is when having people around you really count! That being said, if you happen to go off the track, I probably won't be cooing 'aw poor you's and 'it doesn't matter's, what I will say, though, is 'tomorrow is another day, so pick yourself up and do better tomorrow'.
    I don't really have too many people in real life who'd be willing to talk about workouts or nutrition or weightloss/fitness related goals, so having someone like that would be nice.
