in Introduce Yourself
Hi
I've been keeping a food log for a long time with times of loss and more often, times of gain.
I have never requested strangers as friends for support but I spend a lot of time reading other people's blogs and posts.
I was afraid of others' opinion or harsh words.
So, I posted some fairly current pics and I'm typing this.
Please add me if you are or were like me.
And, have a great day!
Keep up the good work!

    You are going to love it here! We're all in this together and it's wonderful to be able to share our struggles/successes with each other and to get great hints / words of encoragement / recipes etc here! And if you come accross the occasional person saying negative things, you will find they are far outnumbered by those who are encouraging' We like to encourage others cuz we like to be encouraged ourselves! Feel free to add me if you'd like :flowerforyou:

    I had close to 150 to lose too. I'm down 54 pounds after 120 days.

    You can do it, just stick to your plan!

    I have been on MFP off and on for a while and I have to say that this is one of the most encouraging responses I have witnessed to thus far. :happy:

    I'm in the same boat as you, I have a lot to use. I am going to post a photo as well. I'm embarrassed, but also know I need a network of friends to accomplish my goals. Please friend me if you're interested. Good luck!

    I feel I have been my most honest with myself and others because of this website. Feel free to let you guard down in here, I think that is when the most change occurs. I'll send you a friend request. I too have a love affair with food.

    We're all here for the same reason :) some have a lot to lose, some have a little. We even have a few trying to gain. But everyone here is trying to do what they would like for personal reasons/or health ones. Sometimes both like me :) so welcome to mfp!!!!!

    I love it here, didnt think I would ever be as honest about things as on here, but everyone is super encouraging, and if I had not have joined in the past few weeks I dont think I would have done so well :-)

    I read lots of inspiring stories, hear lots of encouraging words, and best of all nobody is judgemental, as we all want the same thing, you will love it here to :-)

    Good luck on your journey, I'll add you now :-)

    You can do it!! If you need help dealing with food issues, find a counselor.

    I, too, am a food addict/sugar addict and compulsive overeater..
    I've struggled with food my entire life, it's a difficult journey to be on..
    This passed year, I have joined Overeater's Anonymous and have a sponsor and am working a plan of recovery..
    It's a slow, step by step plan for me because I don't swallow things very easily , but I have made so many achievements in this passed year..

    I can sooo relate with so many people here, and love meeting like-minded friends for support and motivation..
    I also have a blog, and a facebook page about my journey with weight loss & recovery..
    As someone who knows & understands, I'd be happy for the new friendship too..

    I still got TONS more to lose myself, well over 100 lbs so I can understand how difficult this can be, I just now hit down 20 lbs which is a big goal for me. 150 plus days on the website.
