Hey all! Let's face it anybody who's battled weight their whole life is a natural dietitian, probably a PhD! I'm just looking for friends that are serious about this but want to travel the journey not drive the bus.

    Amen to that! Has to be about a shift of how we think about food - that's the hard part!

    It all depends on whether you want support buddies to tell you what you want to hear or to tell you the truth.

    Why would you assume these are 2 different things? Exactly what I'm talking about.

    They are not ALWAYS different things.... like if someone asks whether a certain pair of jeans accentuates their physique. SOMETIMES that person is just fishing for a compliment and SOMETIMES they are looking for honesty.

    SOMETIMES it is best to tell a person they have spinach in their teeth... even if it costs a little embarrassment for a few seconds.

    SOMETIMES people need a Dr. Phil-like friend to say, "How's that working out for you?"

    SOMETIMES people need a kick in the butt. SOMETIMES they need a hug.

    SOMETIMES a duck is just a duck (sounds Dr. Phily-y to me)
    No bus drivers required - just trying to have a laugh on the journey.

    Also friends and supporters that do not micromanage your food diary!! Some of us are focused on calories alone some are focus on more, I don’t want negative comments about my Taco Bell that fit into my calorie budget

    I had Taco Bell, not once, but twice this week! And it fit in my calories!!!
