Well.............I almost laugh at myself at how hard it is for me to ask for help, even on here...........a dieting site. Its quite sad really, I am not overly outgoing and well............asking for help in any sense is extremely hard for me. I have been raised to do it yourself and never under any circumstances ask for help. If you can't do it by yourself than there is something missing in you.

I have however been dealing with my weight issues since I was, oh about 14, yay the lovely puberty stage. I have yo yoed, i have crashed, I have done anorexia and bulimia which never goes away and I constantly fight with myself over, especially when my weight goes up.

So, I have decided to join this site to try and track what it is that I am putting in my mouth and why, the why is something I will have to figure out. I would love to have friends and support from anyone that is interested. God knows I need help staying on track.12749258.png

    One thing I have noticed since joining a month is that the people on here are very supportive and helpful. Please feel free to add me for extra support.

    Welcome. I have learned a lot about my own eating habits from this site. Feel free to add me if you would like to. I know the feeling of not wanting to reach out to someone. You did it. That is the first step.

    Hi Vannessa! I totally understand where your coming from... I've never really been an outgoing person myself & it's hard for me to make friends. I've moved to Ohio almost 2 years ago for college & I can honestly say I don't have any friends. lol It's sad, but all I know is that life is a journey & the only thing that gets you throughout is will-power.

    You can add me if you like - This site has helped me to be accountable to me. It's not about others helping as much as supporting. Everyone needs a little support, only you can help you.

    I'm a lil' sassy sometimes - Welcome

    Thank you all, it makes me feel so much better about asking for help when people tell you that it is okay to do it. I have only just joined this site, last thursday being the first day. I am so glad that I did. You have all shown me what a true community is, it helps to know that there are people out there, just like me and are more than willing to help.
