This is ridiculous.
I've been faffing about on this site since I joined last night & have been Ghosting in & out of Topics, reading about funny, interesting & desperate people, with my finger hoovering over 'Add as Friend' button & I keep cancelling!!!
I'm afraid I'll be a bad dieting friend! because I know I can give good or uplifting advice & support but feel I'm a hypocrite because I can't control MYSELF...
Yep! I'm a loon... :ohwell:

I sent you a friend request-- all you have to do is say yes.
Don't be afraid, I'm in the same boat.

Think about it... it's ALWAYS easier to give advice than follow it! We are all guilty at some point. Just knowing that you are fighting the battle of the bulge with us IS support. Don't let your caving ability stop you from adding friends. They can give you uplifting advice and I'm confident you will do the same. Don't be so hard on yourself! You can do this! I can too! I have 70 pounds to lose, but I'm sick of fat controlling my life. It's kind of like dumping a significant other, divorcing, or losing a friend for good reason. It's not gonna be easy, but we'll get there!!! Add me as your friend. We'll work together!0

You are not a loon - I've done exactly the same thing. I'm going to send you a friend request too. Soon as I figure it out!!
lol

way to go, Anna! Five pounds is a great start! I'm at a loss of two pounds in three days. I'm really exciting to keep it going! Add me as a friend if you like. Good luck on the weight loss journey!0

don't feel like you have to come in having self control. I believe we are all here to learn from each other. You may not know self-control right now, but perhaps you maybe able to offer other much needed advice.0

No worries... I'll friend request you
It'll feel nice to have some support. The more the better because people disappear sometimes here.

Just remember we all have made poor choices and that is why we are here! Except those with medical conditions of course.0

Totally agree with this and have almost the same amount to lose as well, anyone feel free to add me, it really does help just knowing you're not the only one fighting the fridge lol0 -
I'm socially akward lol. I have the same problem too with adding new friends, but hey we are all here for the same reasons! Adding you now!0

I'll friend you0

I am having difficulties with this as well. This is the first time I have signed up for a community like this and I am afraid to find friends. I prefer waiting for someone else to make the first move. However I feel I need a support community since my weight and health have stagnated and I am not sure how to get it kick started again.0
-
I was the same way when I first joined. Sending you a request!!0
-
Thanks for agreeing! I'm new to this site and I'd add you as a friend but I haven't figured that out yet :-)0
-
I am the same as you! I just joined tonight and I know I need support. I give up on myself quick but we can support each other. We can do this together!

I have to agree with you a little. I read a lot of the forums and there are some very nasty and judgemental people on here. I just don't want to deal with all of that. I'm on a medically prescribed diet of 1000cal/day with reduced carbs. I've seen some hostile responses about people that deviate from the calories set by MFP.0

Welcome :flowerforyou:0

I still always wait for people to send me one first, I think some part of me feels like "well what if they click no?" lol silly on here I know since everyone's always so nice but still.....0
