    • About Me

      Wow, reading my profile from a year ago, so much has changed. I am a full time college student-not anymore, I moved back to my home town July 2 2008- stay at home mom, yes but because Ive recently been laid off of work due to excessive absences since my son passed away Jan 5, 2009 (havent been able to cope) I have three children one who is autistic with adhd and the other is mildly retarded- he passed away and I miss him so very much. My daughter on the other hand was not born with any disabilities but is still a handful. I am married -8 yrs now all good but not all bad either-at this point the marriage has been going down quite rapidly..I feel like my husband does not understand me half of the time and rarely ever respects my feelings-even more so now! My mother and father both have passed away and my only family lives at least 780 miles away-Im here with them, Family is great, but forgot how some of them can be. I over eat, and was 500 lbs but have started the long road of weight loss and have lost about 100lbs. The weight is still coming off and Im a lot happier. Its hard to say no to comfort food because I have been an emotional eater for almost all of my life. Its really hard now, but Im trying everything not to over eat..I also have issues with depression that I am currently working on, I go to group therapy once a week. I no longer go to group since Ive moved but plan to start attending grief counseling.. So far so good. I dont know how to say no, and I am a anxiety nut. Im hoping that I will find some support out there or just some friend to vent and relate to.

    • Interests

      I love to sing and write, but havent had any motivation to do either in a while. I enjoy reading, going out to the beach, park, and shopping..Shopping is my therapy these days even if I dont have money to buy anything. I also like sex, its a therapy too, but my husband is rarely in the mood. ;(

    • Close Obesity

      I used to weigh 500lbs and have lost 100 since December 07. I am an emotional eater. I have used food as my comfort for years and still struggle with it. I want to loose an additonal 200 lbs. I finally am to a point where I am just sick of being fat and feeling bad for myself. Although somedays when I am stressed and depressed I still look to food. I need help and I think once I figure out how to conquer why I eat the weight will come off.

      Treatments

      6 Week Body Makeover Too Soon to Tell
      I wanted to try this out because the strength training looked like something that I could do, so Ive added just this portion to my routine.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I have joined curves and I try to walk at least once a week in addition to curves 30 minute work out
      Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
      It has helped curb my appetite where I am not feeling hungry all day long.
      Weight Watchers Considering
      Because I want to learn how to eat healthy and not just diet but change the way that I live.
    • Close Family Issues

      My husband and I have been together for 8 yrs married for 6 and breaking up for 5 of those years. I feel like I am the only one that is trying to atleast make it work for the sake of our children and because Im afraid of being alone.

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Right now I am currently going to group therapy on my own. I think If I could just work on getting threw my issues then everything would work itself out. So far since I have been going it is becoming more and more apparent to me that I should no longer be in this marriage, but I dont know how to let go.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      This is working because I am able to atleast get everything off of my chest and just say how I feel.
    • Open Healthy Relationships

      My husband and I have been married for 6 yrs. We have been together for almost 10 years and I feel like our realtionship has been somewhat dead for the last 5 years. I want to keep my marriage together, but my husband refuses to communicate with me.

      Treatments

      Patience Not Working
      I have been patient for the last 5 years waiting for him to work on him or whatever so that our relationship would get better. It is not working,how long am I supposed to wait?
      Talking Not Working
      Everytime I ask my husband to just open up and talk to me he doesnt! I dont know what else to do, I have suggested that he go and speak with someone, but he refuses. Talking and venting has not helped our situation.
