It is hard to write this...I am a 34 yr. female and need a diet buddy badly. I moved to a new place, know no one. One would think I can help myself as I am a professional counselor and college teacher! Don't laugh..not all physicians can heal themselves. I overeat when I get tired, stressed, and to make matters worse, my attractive husbands loves me completely as I am (this was intentional, but now have no pressure and need it!). I have no children, just work a lot, and have not made any friends yet, new to area. Hoping to find someone similar to myself that I can just connect with and receive encouragement and encourage as needed. This is my last major flaw that I want to conquer! I like brutal honesty and give it back. I find I do better when someone does not coddle me, but tells me like it is. Diets don't work, I want to try to "no diet approach" I found on this website, but do not want to lose sight of goal after 3 weeks. Also need to be cautious not to lose too fast, run out of steam. But, like others, I get impatient and want results! I am a faithful email writer, so looking for someone equally willing to go the distance. Want to lose about 75-80 lbs. and am willing to stick with it as long as it takes! I live in New England and would love to connect with someone in this area. If you need to lose about that much , and want diet buddy with lots of knowledge, honesty and empathy, please contact me via email! Thanks so much..and good luck to us all.

Dear Anne5,
I am also looking for a diet buddy. I am a 32 year old female and I need to lose 170 pounds. As you can see I have a long way to go and am in need of a honest, supportive buddy. If you are still looking for a diet buddy, please reply. I am an avid emailer, so fill free to chat all you like.
Encouragment awaits us both.
