Interested in forming a community of like-minded friends who are interested in participating in a weekly support system
I live away from my family (another country to be exact) and am very independent. Funny... as soon as I wrote that last statement a little voice inside my head said that that is just an excuse which keeps me from making commitments to others. Interesting how therapeutic this feels already.
Anyway... I want to make a real commit to improve my life. I do not have the confidence to ask my personal friends to work on this with me because I feel like I am the only one who has such a chaotic, lonely, and unorganized life. Besides, I feel embarrassed asking and the one friend that I know who would say yes, would do so simply out of sympathy and I do not want sympathy, I need support.
I read the book Life Makeovers, written by Cheryl Richardson, subtitled: 52 Practical and Inspiring Ways to Improve Your Life One Week at a Time. The problem is that I have no one to hold me accountable, so no matter my great intentions to stick to the week by week program, I always fall short.

If you always fall short of your week-by-week program, then it will not matter what advise people give you, you are going to ignore it. You need to form a relationship with someone on a one to one basis, who will help you to accomplish whatever goals you have set yourself. It seems that you have no will power. You need someone behind you to kick @ss when it is needed.
Good Luck, and wear padding in your pants, it could be a lot less painful.

Support for someone to talk to when you need it is far better then having someone hold you accountable. You don't need anyone other than yourself to hold you accountable, you have someone else do that then if they fail you can give yourself an excuse to fail too.
Anyway, why not try making a group, or joining an already existing group on here and find some people to talk with who have similar goals and junk.
