      I'm 26 and have the best family in the world. I live with my fiance and my beautiful two-yr old daughter, Caylie. We live in blustery, cold Buffalo, NY and we wouldn't change a thing. My fiance, Jay, and I are getting married on September 6, 2008. I can't wait! It is truly going to be a blessed day and the start to a new, healthy and long life together!

      So I got married this month on May 3rd and now we are trying to have a baby.  I went to the Dr. just before the wedding to be sure it was safe …

    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Too Soon to Tell
      I have horrible jitters.. almost like I've taken in far too much caffeine. My head hurts slightly..
    • Close Healthy Relationships

      I was in an abusive relationship - both mentally and physically - all through high school and most of college. I never thought I deserved love and did horrible things to myself. Now I'm with a man that loves me unconditionally and supports me in all of my choices. We're engaged and I can't wait to continue learning more about the things I've always deserved but didn't always have..

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      We are very open with one another. There are days where it is a struggle, but we're getting better and listening to each other.
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Weight has always been a struggle - not only for me, but for the family members as well. I've been on a lot of diets and can't seem to find one that works.

      Treatments

      3 Hour Diet Working / Worked
      I ate 4-5 small meals per day and I gained weight. Something tells me that structured diets make me gain because my body isn't used to eating as much food as they require.
      Counting Calories Not Working
      I gained weight when my Dr. put me on a 1400 calorie diet.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      This has been the best way to lose weight. When I was pregnant, I lost weight because I ate so healthy.. now I'm back to the size I was when I got pregnant.. fyi-that's 40 pounds heavier than I was after the birth of my daughter..
      Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
      I was always hungry.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I've got to get myself back to the gym but with a 2 y.o. it's nearly impossible!
      Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
      the taste got old and redundant.. it became a punishment!
      Weight Watchers Considering
      I've been on this for a while now (about 2 months) and I have gained rather than lost??
    • Open Anxiety

      I've always had anxiety attacks but I had the worst one ever on 12/19/08. I felt like I was having a heart attack and went to the ER.. horrible experience!

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      I can usually feel one coming and I sit and breathe in and out slowly, and deeply.
    • Open Alcoholism

      I used to drink excessively and by myself. I would get drunk at least four times a week. Having my daughter and my supportive fiance has helped me tremendously. I know I'll always be an alcoholic though. My Dad is one as well..

      Treatments

      Willpower Working / Worked
      I drink socially but avoid over drinking as much as possible.. I know I can easily slip back into that void again..
    • Open Pregnancy

      My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I'm really nervous about it. We have one already, but I had a LEEP done in Sept. '07 and worried it will affect a new preg.

    • Open Lung Cancer

      My Mom was diagnosed with NSCLC around Christmas 2007. It has since moved to her adrenal gland, spine and now possibly her shoulder. She's gone through chemotherapy and radiation and we're not sure what else is left.. she's such an amazing woman with so much to give - it just isn't right..
