About Me
I'm mother to an incredible little boy, age 8, and wife to an amazing guy who's 13 years older than I am. I have 6 grown stepchildren that I'm getting to know after only being married to their father a little over a year. I've been through a lot in my life from infertility treatments to conceive my son, early stages of cervical cancer that thank God could be treated, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries (anovulatory cycles) and other female problems, losing my father and first husband both to fatal heart attacks and the depression that follows such sad events. I approach life with a sense of humor as I try to make lemonade out of lemons. My mother calls me a modern day Erma Bombeck as I can be quite a comedienne. What hasn't killed me has made me stronger. My spiritual gift is encouragement and when I'm not taking care of things at home or working (self employed maid service), you can find me chatting on the phone with friends and family.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Treatments
- Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
- I can't do it on my own so I use prepackaged meals.
- Jenny Craig Working / Worked
- I did great on this in my late twenties when I married my first husband. I opted for a different plan this time so I don't have to deal with frozen foods and weekly counseling meetings. I got to goal.
- NutriSystem Working / Worked
- I'm losing weight on this program. Started late Fall 2008 and have lost and maintained 9 lbs. to date. Did not gain my weight back over the holidays! My goal is to lose 40 lbs. in 2009 using NutriSystem and exercise. I am working with a dermatologist as I'm having food allergies/sensitivities to certain types of sugars that break my skin out in horrible rashes..example high fructose corn syrup. That culprit leads to obesity and diabetes and is in many foods.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I've worked with personal trainers and done cardio with weight lifting and it works as long as I'm consistent.
- Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
- Did this in the 80's. DIdn't help me then so don't use it now.
- Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
- I found it tedious to count points. I do better with prepackaged meals and a simple meal plan with lots of choices.
