    • About Me

      I am a person, that until you get to know me, I am kind of quiet. Once you get to know me, and I you, you may be surprised by what I say. I try to have a positive outlook on life, even though that doesn't always seem to happen. I work at a major university in Lexington, Kentucky as a bill collector, and enjoy my work very much. (We bill collectors aren't all mean, like they make us out to be on tv.)

    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I am a type 1 diabetic, and have been since the age of 14. It is frustrating because if I have a low blood sugar, I have to drink or eat something with sugar. I also have a lot of stress in my relationship right now, but am not willing to throw in the towel just yet.

      Treatments

      Alli Too Soon to Tell
      Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
      It really makes you realize what you are putting into your body, if you are honest.
      Curves Somewhat Helpful
      I worked there, so I was able to work out as much as I wanted. It did work, but you had to continue with the program. Back when I worked there in 1999, they didn't have all of the "diet stuff" to go with it.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      I love vegetables and a majority of my meals consist of veggies. I don't cook them in butter, but steam them instead.
      Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
      I have already cut out most foods that have excess calories.
      Physical Exercise Not Working
      I work out 3 times a week for 45 minutes each. I have been doing this now for 4 months, so I should have seen some kind of results by now.
    • Close Diabetes Type 1

      I was diagnosed Type 1 when I was 14 years old. I am now 29, and in pretty good health. I have just gotten the Omnipod Insulin Pump, and I love it. However, I am trying to lose weight associated with a research study I was in for inhalable insulin.

      Treatments

      Insulin Pump Working / Worked
      I have had the OmniPod pump for 1 month, and I love it.
    • Open Shyness

      I used to be petrified to speak to anyone that I didn't know, including anyone on the telephone. I now have a job that requires me to contact people on the telephone. I still have a very difficult time speaking to people face-to-face. I actually tend to shy away from people. If they make the first move and open a line of discussion, I can participate, but that ends as soon as the topic dies down. I try to think of new topics, but freeze.
