Looking for supportive Pals

Hi everyone,

My name is Jessica, and I joined MFP a little over a year ago. The first time around on my weight loss journey started out well, I ended up losing 30 lbs withing a few months time by eating healthier and doing P90X; somehow I ended up falling off the wagon. Now its about a year later and I have gained most of those pounds back, but not all of them (yay!!).

I'm looking to befriend some MFP Pals to build myself a support system: I believe this is one of my biggest problems is not having people who are there to talk to who are going through this journey as well. I have plenty of supportive people around me, but they don't seem to gain a pound ever! I hate watching my coworkers and boyfriend being able to sit there and eat eat eat the fattiest and worst foods (and not gain a pound!), while I can just LOOK at them and gain 5lbs. As I said before, they are supportive but just aren't what I need right now.

My biggest problem is knowing exactly how to get where I need to be (and the fact that I accomplished a lot last year), but just not being able to follow through. For instance, I work a weird hours being a fast food chain manager, and don't get to eat on a schedule like I should...then when i get home at one in the morning I'm eating a full meal (I know I shouldn't right before bed, but cant help myself).

So if anybody out there is listening, I'm in desperate need of pals on here to help support me and my goals, and I am willing to reciprocate.
