    • Close Obesity

      I have struggled with my weight for the past 10yrs. I am a yo yo dieter. Everytime I lose weight I gain more. I need to lose weight for my health.

      Treatments

      Jenny Craig Somewhat Helpful
      I still am a member. I am getting a little sick of having to eat only the jenny foods. I need to learn how to control myself outside of the jenny program. I have failed in that aspect.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I have exercise dvds. I know that they work but need to use them on a regular basis.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      Lately I have been feeling sad for reasons long forgotten. I can sleep for hours & never get enough rest. I have a huge void in my life & have been eating to the point of sickness in hopes of feeling something: The something that has been missing in my life

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      I have a couple of audio meditation cd's that have helped me relax & unwind from my very stressful life.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I love to read uplifting stories/magazines. I have found Oprah very inspirational. She definitely has a good attitude. The way I feel inside is extremely powerful. I am still on my journey. Not there just yet.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I love to gather my thoughts. Writting a journal/blogging has helped me focus on myself. I tend to put others before myself, making their problems more important than my own. I need to feel important in my own life & stop being in the background.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have been on so many different diets & have ended right back back where I started. I need to make a life change. Diet sounds too restrictive. I tend to find pleasure cheating on diets. I now realize that the only person that I am cheating is myself.

    • Open Food Addiction

      I think about food constantly. Food has been a comfort in my life & I tend to never feel full enough to stop eating.

      For the past few months I have been waking up every hour on the hour. I feel tired all of the time & can't seem to get a full night's rest.

      Treatments

      still counting....two thousand three sheep, two thousand four sheep, two thousand five sheep..I am starting to hate those sheep
      Lavender Somewhat Helpful
      Have a lavender candle right next to me, doesn't make much of a difference. Love the scent!
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Depends on the type of music.. Enya is helpful for the hour of sleep I get
      Reading Working / Worked
      I love to read! I usually wake up & read when I can not fall asleep.
    • Open Bereavement
