About Me
I am a Christian wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I love to swim, watch some favorite TV shows, read,. I am a retired barber but also worked as a LD operator and factory worker and phone operator at banks, did waitress work...fun when I was young. I struggle with the blues from time to time. I try hard to stay up beat instead of beat up. I love my church but think it may be getting too big for me. I love children and elderly people. A lot to learn from both.

Close Myasthenia Gravis
I was diagnosed 2007 but may have had it a very long time. I suffer really bad fatigue. I am under the care of a great doctor and he is helping me so much.
Treatments

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am 69, fat and sick and tired of being sick and tired. I can't seem to stay on any diet. Tried so many. I do best with support which is why I am here.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I am doing this now. But also fail to get all the junk out of my life.
- Eat Less Considering
- I MUST eat healthy, a matter of life or death. Yet I fail so often. Watching portions helps me a lot. Yet the weight does not move even though the past week I am afraid to get on the scale.
- Jenny Craig Working / Worked
- Tried it years ago. Lost a little. Didn't like it.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- I ALWAYS lost on WW but never got to goal and would drop out. Money was a problem. The inspiration and support was wonderful.
