Open Asperger Syndrome

My son is diagnosed borderline Aspergers. He mostly has problems with appropriate emotions but he's also realized that people treat him differently. They have placed him in the Autism program at his school, however, I sometimes wonder if that's what's best. He's very bright, but they say he needs help staying on task so he requires a situation with less peers and more adult support. However, when he comes home, he does his homework all on his own.

Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

I've tried everything over the years and yo-yoed my weight. I've been on eating plans and crash diets, all of which work as long as I follow them but I always fall off. I'm so sick of looking nad feeling this way!

Treatments

Counting Calories Working / Worked

I OBSESSED over everything I put in my mouth, but I lost a LOT of weight.

Dancing Working / Worked

This is how I maintained weight in high school but my time is so limited now.

Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked

Works the best but is really hard to maintain with two kids and a husband who isn't very supportive.

Eat Less Working / Worked

Again, I OBSESSED

Hoodia Somewhat Helpful

I ended up using this as an excuse for porr eating because I wouldn't eat diring the day.

LA Weight Loss Working / Worked

I worked for LA Weight loss so I folowed the plan and lost the most weight because it was expected and I was constantly surrounded by the reminders.

Physical Exercise Working / Worked

I used this at the same time as the portion control and became adicted to it. If I missed a day at the gym, I would over eat tat day and then starve myself the next to make up for it.

Slim-Fast Working / Worked

I lost 80 pounds in 6 months, but I was living off of it exclusivly for about half that time to lose faster.
