About Me
I am a 42 year old mom with 2 teenage daughters. I work full time+ as a speech language pathologist. The majority of my time is spent either working, taking care of the house, being with my children, or involved in several church activities (hand bell choir, teaching sunday school). Currently, my children are my life and I know I don't spend enough time socializing or connecting with friends. Maybe this site will allow me to reach out in a way that fits with my lifestyle at the moment.
Interests
I love the outdoors (hiking, camping, walking along the beach etc...). I also enjoy crafts particularly stamping, scrapbooking, and crosstiching. My girls and I love to play all kinds of board games together...even as teenagers they still like to have family game night...pretty cool!

Close Obesity
I have been overweight all my life(current 275lb. at 5'4") and have finally come to a point where I feel I must get this under control. It is now a significant health concern. I think, mentally I'm at a good place right now and feel like I have the motivation / will power to make it work. Usually I am a very private person but came across this site through a google search and thought maybe if I am more open about my struggles it might help keep me accountable and provide encouragement!
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- tried cutting out sugar and flour but it's everywhere..couldn't stick to it
- Jenny Craig Working / Worked
- Just joined (again). It worked in the past, I feel much better when eating the right foods but it can get expensive. At this point my health is worth the cost.
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Not Working
- Just not for me, too 'touchy feely'
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- It works, I just need to make it a priority
- Slim-Fast Not Working
- Makes me feel nauseous!
- Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
- Too time consuming to weigh, measure, calculate etc..

I've been a single parent since my children were 3 & 5 years old. They are now 16 & 18 and getting ready to go off to college soon. It has been a challenge but we all survived and are a very close family. I would love to be a support for others and connect with friends who can relate to the challenges of being a single parent. If you'd like to know more about my situation just ask :)
Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
I have 2 teenagers and recently began having significant issues with one...realized after reading several posts I should have joined this group a long time ago!
