    • About Me

      I'm a horror movie fanatic. I love Resident Evil! I can't live without the Killers in my cd player. I am an Acklemaniac! LOL. I joined Weight Watchers and work out a few times a week. I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds by the end of summer. It's been hard but I'm gonna do it even if it takes longer than that. I deal with depression and anxiety and may have been misdiagnosed. I could have bipolar disorder because of a strong family history and personal history. The two tend to overlap so I'm being treated for both.

    • Interests

      Tennis, bike riding, swimming, writing, and horror movies are some of my interests. I'm a college student and freelance writer. I love writing. It's a freeing experience to get out the best and the worst of my day. I've recently started blogging, which is so much fun because I can do and say whatever I want on there. It's where I put my fun stuff about my favorite music, tv, movies, and stuff about freelance writing.

      You know what? Screw 'em!
      Yep... you heard me. It's their loss. Not yours! There will ALWAYS be something that we can tell ourselves as to why we are not attracting the man or woman of our dreams. I used to say the same thing. If it wasn't my weight, it was the fact that I had 2 kids with disabilities and who'd want to get involved with THAT!?
      I was on two different online dating sites that cater to the larger woman (or man).
      Google plus size dating and see what comes up.
      I finally got to the point where I truly believed this time would be better utilized working on ME and not for searching out a partner. That is NOT my advise for you - it's just where I'm at right now. I truly believe that we all have our perfect match - its just a matter of the when the Moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter is aligning with Mars... (bad joke, but I still love that song!)
      EVerything happens just as it's supposed to Sweetie. Don't beat yourself up!
      He IS out there - just give it time.

      I did it for a while but didn't care for the side effects and was afraid of losing vitamins in my body that I need. It was also expensive. I'm considering asking my doctor to prescribe it to me instead.

      Side effects are uncomfortable and it was expensive but probably would have done more if I stuck with it.

      I was a Curves member but did not go regularly enough to sustain any change. I know that if I had, I'd be in a different boat now.
