About Me
Well I guess I should start with the "basics" :) I'm 22, a young woman, and living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I am engaged to be married in 2011 to a wonderful man, and I am very excited, and trying not to get too carried away with the wedding planning. Currently unemployed, but trying to find a job that I can spend some years doing, while I complete my distance learning degree in Literature and Creative Writing. I hope to become an author one day, and I have some stories in mind, it's just hard to get them right on paper! :)

Interests
I love meeting new people, talking, having a laugh. Being with my friends, learning new things, especially languages and cultures. I am a bit of a Sci-Fi nerd, and I watch Star Trek and Babylon 5, and I love Doctor Who! :D Reading is also a big favourite of mine, so if you know any good books, please recommend them to me! :)

Little Love
ahhhh, i was feeling EXTREMELY disappointed in myself when i set all that out, too. for one, being stuck at the same weight for what feels like eternity simply because of my habits, sucks so bad! it's like, "gosh jessi, you have control over this. take the reins!", you know? i like that, striving for improvement rather than perfection. we get so caught up in what we are, what we're not and what we want to be. it drives us crazy and ultimately leads to our failure. if i can just let what i'm not go. it's a hard task, for sure. i don't need to hide anything here! someone will understand and accept me. someone has been there, and has advice. all that. last week i thought about DELETING MY ACCOUNT! that's nuts! why would i do that?! lol. improvement. it's what i'm striving for from now on. thanks :).

I hope you are doing ok! HUGZ!!!

Support Groups
Close Obesity
I have been overweight all my life. When I moved away from home to go to University, my diet changed for the worse, and I've gained even more weight, planting me firmly in the "obese" section of any chart. I hate it, but I am finding it hard to shift the pounds...
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Too Soon to Tell
- I'm trying going to the gym more, but finding the motivation to step out the door is difficult. As soon as I am at the gym, it's fine, but getting there, argh!
- Xenical Too Soon to Tell
- Lets just say it like it is: If you eat too much fat (like in say... a McDonalds meal), you will basically poo fatty oil. Gross? Oh yes. BUT it certainly has made me more aware of what kinda crap I'm pumping into my body. If you stay under the recommended amount of fat per day, no fatty poo!
Close High Blood Pressure
I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure in October 2007, and it came as a bit of a shock. I personally think it was a combination of my weight gain and the contraceptive pill that triggered it. Now I'm off the pill and working on losing weight to help my heart!
Treatments
- Lisinopril Somewhat Helpful
- It brought my blood pressure down fine, but I got so many dizzy spells I asked to be taken off them.
- Norvasc Too Soon to Tell
- Currently on 10 mg a day, will know in 3 weeks if it has had an effect! :)
