Buddy = lethal weapon...
A reverse dictionary search on Onelook for the word "buddy" returned the expected words such as chum, pal, bro, mate, but Number 70 on the list was lethal weapon. How odd.
I stumbled on this site accidentally. I had no intention of finding a buddy. I was here for myself, and this was just a tool to keep myself accountable. Who needs a list of buddies anyway? Buddies? Really?
My journal entries were for myself; merely a place to think out loud. One day I saw a comment. How odd is that!?! Oh, a buddy request? Geez. I thought, well, okay, I'll accept... I guess I can always change my mind later and, um, un-buddy them.
Ever since, I've followed my buddies and shared their frustrations and their triumphs. Their journals have given me a sense of balance, an insight into their lives, and a priceless sense of camaraderie and community.
Heidijoy and HCB, you started it all. My heartfelt thanks for finding me and to all the others who have followed. I just found myself sending my first buddy request. Who would have thought! I guess I finally get it... pay it forward!
For those of us who have taken a detour and found ourselves in an unhealthy place and are fighting to get back on track, it is indeed a war. What's better in battle than a lethal weapon or two? On second thought, buddy IS synonymous with lethal weapon. It's certainly better than a plastic spoon.

I truly value your friendship (and HCB's)!! It is such a pleasure to connect and get re-inspired for my daily mission. And frankly, I don't do anything well that isn't fun for me. That's why I got a C- in chemistry. That's why I always got an A in debate. So if I can make losing weight more fun by connecting with our little community, that will make me more successful! Looking forward to staying in touch. (-:

Thanks for the "shout-out" - I KNOW there is no way I would be succeeding without all the Buddies who encourage me, make me laugh aloud, share tips, and just plain make this a fun adventure! Especially you, Jenkie5. Your humor is contagious!

Even your profile pic is cute! It makes me smile and so do all my FS buddies. We are all in this together and it is much more enjoyable that way.
