    Hey, good news, I found it. I wondered where all this self esteem came from.

    I tell you what. This self esteem is pretty valuable, so I am not going to give it all back at once...Actually I am going to help you earn interest on it and you will have more than you started with. Here is the deal.....

    Every day you eat right and exercise, I will give you a little back. As you reach your mini goals of weight, fitness, and well being, I will give you a bigger chunk back. You will see the interest it earns with me will give you more and more for each goal.....

    However, the final price will be, when you have all that self esteem, you are probably going to have to help others with theirs....

    I hope that isn't too expensive for you. Because I am sure you can do it. :)

    Friends here can help you stay accountable and can give you such support too. It's easier for me to skip working out or not pay as much attention to what I eat when no one is following.

    Add me if you want.

    Hey Debs, I'm new here too - just joined up yesterday!

    I am finding the whole idea of having signed up already having an affect on my habits - no random snacking for me today!

    I hope that your self esteem starts to return now that you are doing something for yourself, and that as you see results that will also help.

    Hi....my name is Debs, I live in Ontario. I've just join after a colleague told me about this site.

    I'm not feeling good about myself and I hate looking in a mirror, I don't even want to show my picture.
    I'm hoping this site will be the help I've been searching for, I like the idea of tracking food and exercise. I'm also enjoying reading the many messages posted so far, I'm getting a good feeling about this. Fitness Pal, I'm counting on you.....

    Hi Debs, I hate the mirror too and my pic is from nearly 7 years ago, when I got married and thought I was fat, I've only been with MFP for a week and a half and love it, the support is AMAZING. Feel free to add me if you like. You already took the first step, one foot in front of the other =)

    I think it's great you're getting so many nice replies. I hope you find good friends here, and you can add me if you want: I'm vegetarian, and think your name means you're vegan. I am happy to have whatever kind of nice people would like to be friends.

    Hey Debs! I'm in Ontario too! You've definitely come to the right place! I've never dieted in my life, never took note of what I'd been eating. Almost 3 months on here, and living healthy has become SO easy!!!

    My self-esteem is coming back in spades. A more confident me is more attractive to my hubby too. And is helping me to be a better mom!

    Feel free to add me!
