Little Love
Thanks. How are you? It's been a very hectic week for me. My basement flooded, I worked all week, I moved, and now I'm sick. I think my body is trying to tell me I need to rest because I've been doing way too much lately. lol.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am 45 years old and have been fit most of my life. I now am having some trouble with gaining all-over body fat and belly fat. My clothes from last summer don't fit. I also have some cellulite which, I understand, is not necessarily tied into overall body weight, but is a body image concern. I would like to build up muscle tone, lose about 10 pounds and incorporate healthy exercise and eating habits into my life.
Treatments
- 3 Hour Diet Somewhat Helpful
- I incorporated some lifestyle changes, but the website was too expensive. Also, I contacted them to quit the website, but they billed me for another cycle anyway.
- Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
- too time consuming
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Hoodia Somewhat Helpful
- seemed to help -- not sure -- I'd like to lose weight without it
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I do this ongoing, but still gained some weight. A knee injury affects the workouts I can do.
- South Beach Diet Somewhat Helpful
- tried some of these reciopes, but not too strict about it. Very strict diets don't work for me.

Open Life After Divorce
I just filed after my husband assaulted me and was arrested. He had been verbally abusive for years and it was escalating, but this is so sudden. The leap to physical abuse was terrifying and made me know I had to get out. I am now depressed and trying to figure out how my life will be. Three weeks ago, I thought we had a chance to work things out. I feel like he stole this from me. Also, I'm now realizing that his income is finally on the rise and I will never enjoy the benefits of this.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I am 3 weeks out of a 20 year abusive relationship. Most of our 16 year marriage included escalating verbal abuse ending in a physical abuse episode and him in jail. He's out after a night, took a plea, I have an order of protection and full temporary custody of our 3 sons. I have been in counseling for abused women for 3 years and my kids for over a year. We are on our way to healing. It's hard!
