    • About Me

      I am 51, married for 25 years, have a 23 year old daughter who is getting married in June, so I will be an empty nester, which scares me a lot. She is my only child and has been homeschooled since 7th grade, so we have been extremely close for a long time. Life without her will be very different, but I know I will adjust,. My husband travels a lot so I will have to get used to being with just me.

      Hello Bonnie, I have not heard from you in a while and wanted to know how is everything going?

      Hi. Thanks for the follow-up. Yeah, I have recovered. I think that I posted a lot of this in my journal, but basically, it is not that the eating is any more controlled, it is just that I have accepted that this is where I am at right now and am not freaking out about it anymore. Sundays are always the worst anyway. This Sunday I am not going to spend the whole day at home by myself, which should make a massive binge less likely. How are you?

    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I need and want to lose 100 lbs. I have severe arthritis in my left knee and will be a candidate for a knee replacement eventually, but certainly not at this weight. I have bursitis in my right hip and my energy is decreasing. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I have already lost about 10 pounds, but I have a long way to go and could really use support of others who understand what I am going through.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      eatingh healthier foods means looking and packages and deciding what is healthy and what is not. This works great as long as I keep unhealthy foods out of my house, which is hard with two other people living here.
      Eat Less Working / Worked
      Portion control isn't that hard for me, as I really don't overeat as much as I just eat the wrong things, but still watching how much I eat of certain foods, like cereal, really helps.
    • Close Alzheimer's Disease
      Stage: Early Onset

      my mother has alzheimers and lives in an assisted living facility. I am responsible for her and it is a daily job, even though she does not live with me. Now she really just wants me to get things for her and is no longer interested in my life or family. She forgets things so easily and gets very frustrated, as do I. I am still learning how to deal with all of this. I have a sister who has no compassion for what I go through. I need to be part of a support system.

      Treatments

      Aricept Not Working
      discontinued as it had no effect.It just gave her diarrhea, even when the dosage was taken down to 5 mg instead of 10.
