    • About Me

      I'm a small town country-california girl. I am the human resources supervisor at my local Toys R Us. I love kids and hope to have a family of my own someday. I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. I began my battle with depression in junior high and have been fighting it ever since. I just take everyday as it comes.

    • Interests

      I love to listen to music, watch movies, and read. I LOVE big sexy trucks and cars that roar and give you goosebumps. I like to express myself through writing and art, but tend to be too self-critical and always seem to stop and throw it away. (Something else I'm working on)

      It's been over a month since I last really visited Daily Strength, let alone my groups. I just couldn't find the motivation to do anything. I …

      Mood July 29, 2009 8:29pm

      It's just not a good day. I just can't seem to shake these feelings I have. I woke up this morning and wanted to crawl back under the covers. …

      Despite the fact that I was super tired last night, I could not seem to fall asleep. Every time my head hit the pillow, my mind would begin racing. I …

    • Close Obesity

      Food and depression have taken over my life. Leading me to my current weight (334 lbs!), I want to get back in control while I'm still young enough to enjoy my life.

      Treatments

      6 Week Body Makeover Not Working
      This program just wasn't for me.
      Gastric Bypass Surgery Considering
      I'm considering this as a last resort. I want to try to lose the weight myself first.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I work out at home. Starting slow so that I can build my fitness level up.
      Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
      I got tired of the shakes. I missed food.
      Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
      It helped me for the first month. I lost 50 lbs, but then I fell off the wagon and gained it all back. The meetings seem to be key to the success of this plan, but with my other issues, I could never get myself to attend. So, unfortunately, it just didn't work for me.
    • Close Loneliness

      fairchic hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Financial Challenges

      I'm broke, in debt, and not sure how I'm going to pay rent, let alone feed my household for the next month.

      Treatments

      Budgeting Somewhat Helpful
      I have a shopping problem. So budgeting only helps so much. Then, once I get depressed, I go out and spend money I don't have to make myself feel better.
      Credit Counseling Working / Worked
      I am working with CareOne to get my credit card debt dealt with. So far so good. Interest rates went from 29.94% to 6%, and I'm not getting charged late/over limit fees. But I still have a long way to go until they are paid off.
      Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
      I haven't used them in about 6 months!!
      Earn Money Not Working
      As I earn money, bills get larger. So unfortunately, I'm not getting anywhere.
