Hello! Looking for random friends for grounding influence

FATSPIDERBITCH

Hi! I'm FatSpiderB*tch. I started out as a member on the site early in June, lost some weight, and then stopped logging and spun a little off the rails. I'm on here for the long haul now but I'm... SO IMPATIENT.
I know that's extremely stupid. I've overcome a lot of hurdles in the past month, I'm settling comfortably into a paleo diet and adding more exercise, etc. But a little over a year ago I was 110 pounds and I've been around 110-120 my entire adult life. The weight gain was mostly due to medication side effects and although I've been this big for around 6 months now I feel like I just can't stand to be this big any longer. Which leads to me undereating my calories and watching that 'In 5 weeks you should be X!' number like "Iiiiiiinteresting..."
I know that I need to be patient and I'm not going to quit just because I don't get fast results but it would be neat to have some random internet friends to share motivation/results/realistic expectations with.
So add me random internet friends, I do not bite, troll, or discuss politics or religion.
