I need a support/motivation Buddy!

Hi all,

This is my first time posting but I love MFP so I thought I would try find someone(s) in this forum who is willing to help support and encourage me. I have previously lost 30 pounds-ish in 6 months (about 2 years ago), because I had a partner who continually supported me and told me I was beautiful every day, which definitely helped! Also, they designed my diet and helped make all of my meals. However, recently (in the past year), I have lost friends and my relationship fell apart. Consequently, the stress and and sadness affected my eating, and I gained 40 pounds. I am now faced with the daunting task of loosing the weight without my ex partners help, and it isn't working out so well. I know it is my dieting, rather than my exercise (I aim for 5-6x 30 minute sessions a week, but only do as much as my body can handle) that is making me stay at a stand-still. I have an eating disorder, which I try keep in check as well, but it has been a struggle.
So really, I am needing someone who I can support and motivate as well! Because, life is better when you give and take and help each other get to a happy place!

Please friend me! I will aim to message you every day to encourage and support you and try to be available if you are struggling (time difference may cause difficulties)

Thanks!!
