Re: Looking for email-support buddy for one month

[Guest guest]

I think I would benefit from a support buddy too!  I'm in!  I am a 60 year old, recently retired, mother of 3, grandmother of 4,  Since getting a CPAP machine a month ago, I have an extra 3 hours in my day, and tons more energy!  I am hoping that extra time and energy can help me with my weight loss!

 

Anyone interested in doing an experiment with me and being support buddies for each other for a month? I was thinking of something like this:

-We would email each other directly and set a goal for the week. This could be as simple as drink 8 glasses of water a day, or take a 10 minute walk everyday for a week.

-At the end of each day we would email each and say " how it went " or if we accomplished it. We could also comment on the other person's experiences if we want (support, suggestions, etc)

-It would be low pressure, so if one of us had a hectic day and missed emailing, it wouldn't be a big deal. Ideally, we wouldn't miss more than one or two days emailing in a week.

-We could re-evaluate after a week, and see if we'd like to keep doing the buddy system for a whole month.

If you would like to try this out with me, here's a little bit about me. Perhaps you are facing the same challenges? Tell me about you.

-I've started gaining weight as I aged

-I do well with tiny baby steps

-I find diets demoralizing and don't believe they work

-I work at home and have a hard time getting motivated to exercise

-I want to celebrate small accomplishments, rather than be disappointed by over extending myself and failing.
