About Me
I'm Christian -- 5'2, 232 Lbs, and feeling a little hopeless with the yo-yo dieting syndrome. I'm creative, love gardening and enjoys writing. I journal a lot, and I'm extremely talkative (when I'm in the mood). I'm resilient and generous to a fault. I am single and childless.

Hug
Just stopped by to say I miss ya!!! Things are "better". Its been almost a year to the day I joined DS!!!
Hug
I have binging problem. It's all or nothing. The only thing is if I eat that piece of chocolate or bread I can not control myself to stop. my tongue wins most of the time. I am good with eating for about 3 or 4 days but the 5th day and 6th day are usually horrible. I will eat anything and everything, Sometimes it is so bad that my stomach feels like it is going to burst. I hate being over weight but it's so hard to say no sometimes. I exercise about 6 days per week, I am VERY Active. I wish I could eat proparly all the time so I could see the scale and my fat face go down. I was successful last year. I lost 40 lbs but I gained back 20 lbs. My weight loss is a roller coaster. I had strong will power before now my will power sucks. I am fed up. If u need someone to talk to I am here.

Support Groups
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I've tried numerous diets in the past, but never stuck with them. I lost 36 lbs, back in 1998, but regained 80. Currently, I need to lose about 100 lbs (or more)
Treatments
- Prayer Somewhat Helpful
- Prayer connects us to the God above. When all else fails, I write and PRAY!
- Support from Friends & Family Considering
- It's always nice to be surrounded by folks who are sympathetic and can relate to your struggle. This issue with weight is a challenge though. In my immediate environment - many people have weight issues -- but they're not actively trying to correct the problem. Does that make sense?
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- With most tears that are shed -- there is a a cleansing, and a release in our spirits. I have cried a river of tears in my life. But each time I cry, I feel "free-er" (freedom).
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Writing, writing -- and MORE WRITING. This is a gift to myself, and God's gift to me. I tell people all the time, "Write to learn about yourself."
Close Obesity
I'm about 100 lbs. overweight. I stand at 5'2'' - weighing 232 lbs. I'm tired, frustrated, and at 44, I no longer want to deal with the "weight issue." But here I am with a conquering attitude, that things have to change.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Considering
- Right now, I'm trying to eat more "natural foods." Psychologically, this sounds better than "dieting." I'm also tracking the times when I eat. Night time is the worse, because I work at night, and SNACK all night long. Also, I only work 3 days a week, which means I have more time to munch. My goal is to develop a "structured" eating plan.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Exercise is good for the body - I just don't do it enough. In addition, my metabolism is slower because I don't drop weight like I used to, when I walked for days (at least it felt like I walked for days ...LOL). Also, my joints hurt more, as I've gotten older. My knees are tender, and I have some cartiledge damage.
Open Insomnia
I'm a bonafide "night owl." I work the night shift, but during my downtime - I don't sleep "normally." I'm usually up every 2-4hrs, and at this point, I've considered prescription drugs.
Treatments
- Valerian Too Soon to Tell
- I did try Valerian Root a couple of years ago, from the suggestion of a friend - but I couldn't stand the smell. I only took a small dosage (at the time), because it wasn't something that I'd researched.
Open Food Addiction
I've never considered myself a "foodaholic" - but I've gained 100 lbs in the last 10 years. So, I have a problem.
Open Financial Challenges
I'm just about through with repaying 26 creditors and $30,000.00 dollars worth of debt. I'm down to my last $6,500.00. It's been a tough battle.
Treatments
- Earn Money Somewhat Helpful
- This is a challenge for those of you who may be raising families single handedly, or are limited by other challenges (physical, mental or otherwise). Every little bit od extra money helps. I've done yardsales, sold Avon and Watkins products, and worked a seasonal schedula at a Department Store for 2 years.
