Close Child Support & Custody

I'm a new single mother, victim of domestic violence, and a firm believer in attachment parenthood. Very stressed to deal with the flexibility my state and county legal offices offer to the father with no regard to his abusive nature.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

I gained a lot of weight while pregnant and was already overweight to start with.

Treatments

Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked

Didn't lose weight overall with just this, but felt better overall by eating healthier.

Eat Less Working / Worked

This helped, but is harder for me. I'm not very good at monitoring this. I have to be almost obsessive about recording how much I'm eating and not sure if that's healthy either.

Physical Exercise Working / Worked

I was jogging 4 or 5 days a week. That helped over time, and I wanted to incorporate more. It's hard with an infant, but not impossible. I shouldn't have let other people or medication get in the way of it. I've regained the weight I started losing after my daughter was born in May.

Ephedra Working / Worked

I miss ephedra. I wish the medical community would simply regulate it and prescribe it as needed instead of discontinuing any usage of this. This was the most effective tool Ive ever used. It helped me eat less by feeling full gave me more energy to exercise and metabolize food and helped improve my focus in other daily activities. I never abused this supplement like those that it caused problems for. Overdoing anything will cause problems
