I Need A Mean Friend

edited September 26 in Introduce Yourself
I have been using MFP for a few months now and have lost almost 27 pounds. That's good and I'm very happy with that.

HOWEVER, I have been told (by my doctor) I have 13 pounds to take off as quickly as possible! (in a healthy way) I have some pretty awesome friends on here who I adore and are great supporters, but I'm looking for a couple people who might be good "pushers". That aren't afraid to tell me that I haven't worked out in 3 days and need to get my butt moving. Or that would be harsh enough to read my food journal and be like, "why the crap are you eating chocolate?" I need a mean friend. I'm pretty dedicated to my weight loss but I definitely benefit from critism! If you think you could be that person I'd love to be friends with you.

Thanx.

    I need mean friends in real life. I'm sick of my friends telling me that I look great and don't need to lose weight. I'm in the obese range on the BMI, I have plenty of self confidence at this weight, but I need to be healthy. It's a weird thing to complain about, but it's difficult to restrain myself at a party when everyone is telling me I "deserve" a piece of cake. I'm not saying they need to shove celery sticks in my face, maybe just acknowledge that what I'm doing is difficult and not increase the temptation.

    I'm not a "yes" man by any means. I'm an advocate of self-motivation and independent thought, so if you need someone to give it to you straight, I can do that, but in the fact that I'm going to leave the choice up to you after presenting a multitude of options at your disposal. I may not be "mean" per se, but I do consider myself the best *kitten* I know. I don't sugarcoat jack. :happy: Feel free to add if you want.

    *It should also be noted that I don't actively look into other peoples' diaries because it doesn't benefit me to do so, but if ever you need me to, I will upon request.

    I'm 40lbs down and it doesn't get any easier with the friends. I feel like I could say everything you just said. We don't "deserve" to have food that's bad for us! When did that ever become a treat, that's how we got fat to begin with. I'm just now about 5 lbs away from the healthy BMI range and I've got people telling me I look too thin. It's just because they are used to seeing me heavy and round for the last 15 years. I'd love to be a motivator for you, and anyone else on this thread. I love being motivated by others as well. Good luck with your goals! Feel free to send a request.

    Funny Walt!

    Get off your butt and go to the gym you sloth!!!! m_objection.gif

    Seriously, you look to sweet to yell at. I can't do it.

    But: I do read most of my friends' journals, so feel free to add me. I've been known to speak up when I know the door is open for constructive criticism. I'm always open, and my journal is public. There are a few who have criticized my journal and I respect them enough to listen.

    What he said! Except I'm the female version. I give it to you straight with no chaser. I'm not into sympathy or self pity. I'm the person that tells you to suck it up and MOVE. So if you can friend me if you like.

    I would LOVE a mean friend. I always am having people tell me I'm doing so great so go ahead and eat that dessert or don't worry, you exercised a lot yesterday. I just need someone to say, why the crap did you eat that horrible food!?
