Ever have those moments during the day when you think...

1) My MFP friends would be SO proud of me!
2) Thanks to MFP, I just made a healthy choice!
3) OMG, that's totally an NSV!
4) This is definitely worth posting on MFP!

Haha, I get random moments sometimes where something happens and I immediately think of MFP and my friends and the forum on here, and how my "real world" friends wouldn't understand. :) I love this site!

    I am exactly the same!

    But I think thats because Im trying really hard not to be that girl that just talks about calories and exercise with my friends.

    My MFP friends though a whole other story! Thats what everyone is here for.

    When I'm exercising, I think of my MFP friends on the sidelines cheering me on. It's what gets me to push that extra mile of running or those last couple laps while swimming :smile:

    It's funny you posted this, I have felt this before, and I have to admit I have found myself on here more than I am on facebook. LoL. And I was on there frequently through out the day.

    I don't post on Facebook anymore because my "real world" friends don't care what I have to say!

    :(

    They rarely post unless it's a link of some kind or photos. I don't know many people who use FB to voice their thoughts anymore. I can tell my MFP friends when I'm annoyed with my professor or had a great lunch.

    yes! Lol......... i usually think "i have to do good so i can be under and mfp friends will know i am keeping up with them" theyre that good! I also wonder what their updates are and that makes me log in when i get a chance. It is completely fun to interact even if its just with a few people (as long as its good interaction) bc that way we have an extra motivation to do good! Love it :)

    Yea If i were to always talk about calories and health and fitness to people in real life they would think I was mentally ill.
    but here, I can do that all I want and everyone else chimes in :). Also, I needed like minded people who would support me. I feel that people IRL are happy with me being overweight and just don't understand me, and here on MFP I am a part of a community who feels my pain and will cheer me on no matter what my goal, instead of saying " um, you don't need to lose weight" or " you are getting too skinny, are you done losing weight now?" etc.

    Totally agree with you. I have a lot of supportive friends I interact with daily, but everyone on here is uber supportive and I feel bad when I can't share or cheer on everyone as much as I'd like too. This place rocks and today this is the real world as much as anything else.
