About Me
Since joining the site I have successfully lost the weight I set out to. It was really hard at first--changing my eating habits and portions and starting and keeping up the exercise routine. Thing is I have lost the weight, but I still don't feel "thin." I still focus on my physical flaws rather than attributes, I think I got so used to looking not great that now that I look good I don't know how to feel like I look good. I think I am also scared I will just wake up and be back to my bad habits and have gained the weight back--even though I have been very good about making this a comprehensive and healthy lifestyle change, so that probably won't happen. What gives? Why is my mind doing this to me?

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Over the last 2 years I became 30lbs. overweight(eating out too much, etc). I tried this last yr to get back into the habit of watching what I eat & exercising regulary but I haven't been able to shut out my negative thoughts. My negative thoughts are really what are keeping me from doing what I know I need to do to lose the weight. It is really frustrating, so I am here for support. I am afraid if I don't loose the weight now I be on the slipperly slope to being really overweight in the future.

Close Epilepsy & Seizures
Diagnosed with epilepsy in October 2000 when I had my first seizure when I was 24 years old. Now, I'm in the process of getting off of Depakote and getting on Keppra. I want to decrease chances of congenital birth defects during pregancy, that is why I am switching. I plan to become pregnant in 3 years or so. In a couple of weeks, I won't be able to drive for approx. 6 months. Bummer. I want to make sure Keppra works for me before driving a car.
