TattyCindy’s Profile

Open Stress Management

I have recently been inundated by stress and have found myself breaking down more than once. I need to find some way of dealing with this.

Treatments

Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful

I haven't done too much in this term, but the little I have done seems to help.

Yoga Working / Worked

Yoga has been very helpful to relax my mind and body. I am currently only attending classes weekly, but plan on adding daily sessions at home.

Tattoos Somewhat Helpful

I feel empowered with my tattoos.

Open Child Support & Custody

I just gained physical custody of my 2 boys and do not receive any child support, because my ex is not working (and I have to pay him alimony... Where's the justice?!)

Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

I have 2 sons 6 & 8 (soon to be 9, so I'm joining the Tween Community, too). My 6-yr-old is a handful and sometimes I just need a little help. Don't we all?

Open Parenting 'Tweens (9-12)

I have 2 boys, 8 (9 in a month) and 6 (I have joined that community, too) and my 8-yr-old acts and talks like a teenager sometimes. I really need some helpful ideas rearing him...

Open Healthy Relationships

I have recently gotten divorced (after 3 yrs of separation) and am engaged to be married in June to a wonderful man who gets on my nerves at times (as we all do).

Treatments

Talking Somewhat Helpful

This can be and can't be helpful. My fiance and I can fight like nobody's business, but mostly it's all venting and it usually works out in the end.

Writing Too Soon to Tell

I just started this and I have found that I give an awfully bias view! (Duh!)

Open Fitness Goals
Type: Be the best you can be

I haven't much to go on here - just that I've been a quitter for some time. Once I got into working out and doing it regularly, I fell in love and forgot all about the gym.

Treatments

Hiking Somewhat Helpful

I love to hike, but I don't do it as often as I'd like. I have to be more regular at this!

Personal Trainer Working / Worked

I won part in a workout contest on the radio and I loved having a personal trainer (for 8 weeks). I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Running Working / Worked

I loved running, once I got the hang of it. But then I fell off the wagon and I want to sprint right back on - but I realize that doesn't work.

Strength Training Working / Worked

I liked to see the definition in my arms during this. It was beautiful.

Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful

I loved I could eat anything, but I usually missed my points (way over or under). It wasn't too easy to maintain.

Open Healthy Eating

I have a big problem eating healthfully. I get into deprivation and then splurging - more on a monthly basis, up and down. I want to be able to enjoy my food without feeling deprived of it.

Treatments

Physical Exercise Working / Worked

It's mentally more difficult to eat a lot of fat when I've worked so hard!

Open Breakups & Divorce

Recently divorced after a nearly 3 yr separation and 7 yrs together. Thank God!

Treatments

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

Talking Working / Worked

Time Working / Worked

This always helps!
