About Me
I am a mom, a wife and trying to figure out what else at this point in my life! I have stayed home with my kids and been out of the work force for a decade. Want to get back to me, but who am I? Not this overweight unhappy person who has been letting life pass her by..... No! I want to start the next chapter of my life and become, fit healthy, happy and confident again! I want to give and receive support from others who want the same!

Close Food Addiction
I am a food addict-I obsess about food- it has really disrupted my life and kept me from becoming the person I want to be. Want to abstain from particiaptaing in binging on the trigger foods I am addicted to. Mainly, sweets, cookies, candy which I have tried eating in moderation- does not work for me.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked
- OA worked for me with a strong program that I belonged to for a year, when we moved I did not feel connected to the groups in the area- so I quit.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Been on every kind of diet. What drives me to overeat is emotional stuff and all or nothing thinking! Like if I eat one thing off my diet plan, all is lost and I may as well eat the whole bag of cookies etc- you get the picture!! Gotta learn how to use food to fuel my body and to address my emtional gunk other ways. That is what I hope to learn as I want to lose the weight for good and enjoy life again!
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Working / Worked
- A variation- Protein power plan. Yes it worked but I missed candy and bread and ended up packing the weight back on.
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- Done it off and on- tends to get me too bogged down and I quit.
- Curves Working / Worked
- Fine, but not intense enough for me
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Yes if I can stick to it!
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- I feel deprived.
- LA Weight Loss Working / Worked
- went to find out what is was about- too expensive and the sales person insulted my intelligence. Might wpork for first time dieters. Mostly full of stuff I already knew.
- NutriSystem Working / Worked
- Long time ago, think the food may be better now, but too expensive for me.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Works when I do it. gotta use it along with healthy eating.
- Slim-Fast Working / Worked
- Yuck!
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- No, felt like I was being herded in like one of many cattle when waiting to be weighed in. I know it works for lots of people though- just not for me.
