looking for buddies!!

Options
Hi my name is Claire and I am looking for some buddies to support me in this journey, I find it really hard as i am a emotional eater, I have 7 children and work part time as a support worker so i am always busy and drained!! also i very recently lost my grandad who i adored and i am still grieving which can effect my eating. I really want to do this this time as i have been a yo yo dieter for years, I have found MFP really easy to use and have already lost 7lb in 4 wks, It would be great to have some inspiration and encouragement from other users.

    :happy: Hi Claire! Welcome to MFP. You're going to love it here. First, I'm sorry to hear about your grandad:cry: . I know what it is to eat emotionally as that's how I packed it on after I lost my dad over 14 years ago. The friends you make here will help you through those rough days and will keep you motivated. Feel free to add me as a buddy and good luck on your journey :flowerforyou:

    Hi! Sorry to hear about your loss. I just started MFP this week and already feel more supported than any other time I've tried to diet. The food logging is easy, the exercise logging is reassuring and the site is fun. But most of all, it's the support that I love. I feel more committed and confident than ever. Hope you enjoy your journey too.
