About Me
I am a 41 year old ( Oh I hated having that b-day, but really feel like I'm 30 or 25???)stay at home mom of 4 kids, only three are living at home. I am trying to make a lifestyle change, meaning in my diet and exercise, I am working on ending my marriage and moving towards a happiness that has be kept away from me. I am looking for inspiration, support to get past both of these hurdles. I enjoy working out, running, walking, weights. I just need a little extra push to get to my goal. A way to keep life not so serious::: You laugh at me because I'm strange......I laugh at you because you're stupid. Don't think of yourself as an ugly person....just a beautiful monkey! Money can't buy happiness.....but it sure makes misery easier to deal with.
Interests
Walking, running, working out, watching my kids play their sports, (yes living the dream through them, it's the competitive high schooler still in me) talking with my mom, reading erma bombeck, self help books, remembering my childhood, working in the yard, having family gatherings.

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I started walking in Nov '07 and focusing on making a lifestyle change. Changed my eating habits, exercise, cardio and in March of '08 I had lost 57 pounds. I had maintained and was determined to lose 20 more pounds and get more fit. I signed up for my very first half marathon for August 2008. I was an athlete in high school and college and having 4 kids and lack of desire to exercise added up. I was having serious health issues and didn't want to die young and let the kids grow up without their mom. I am now in a size 6, this time a year ago on a trip to DisneyWorld, I was a size 18/20. I need to have support as I don't have it at home and feeling that I'm struggling now at the end. I hope to find what I need here. I fell off the wagon last week when my husband went out of town and have gained almost 10 pounds back!!! I need to lose 30 pounds now, instead of 20 to reach my goal of 150! I want to prove to myself that I can do this and not give up!
Close Epilepsy & Seizures
My oldest was diagnosed at 7 with epilepsy, scariest moment of my life to see her go into a grand mal, stopped breathing, turned blue, came out of it. She is now 21 and has had her petite mal's flare up and she's not getting the answers she wants. I now have my third child child being diagnosed with a seizure disorder, not decided if epilepsy yet, had a grand mal on the school bus and had only two split seconds of abnormal wave activity.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I have been married 22 years to a controlling, emotionally abusive man. I noticed his anger issues and stuff when we were dating, but was so happy that I found someone to love me, my first real boyfriend. I got pregnant while in college and the first few years seemed okay, we were poor, but happy. It all changed later on after his affair, it just got more and more out of hand, who i can visit, what time we had to be home, what i wore, who i talked to, time with my family.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been depressed pretty much most of my adult life, but have hit my lowest point two years ago when I was trying to find a way to end it, walking in front of traffic, taking pills, just wanted the easiest way and painless way. I think I've been able to stop that thought process as it is selfish. Why would I want to cause pain to those that mean the most to me because of my selfiness to rid my pain. it makes sense. I have been on meds for about 8 months and I'm feeling much better.

Open Bipolar Disorder
I have been 'bipolar' since who knows when. it became clearer about 2 years ago when sh*t hit the fan and my life feel apart. I have been in therapy and now looking for a new therapist, didn't like the past one. I'm not sure how to deal with this...
Treatments
Open Alzheimer's Disease
My grandma has dementia and they are placing her in a care center today, without her knowing it. You can read my journals about this week, my getting to see her, how she looked, what has been happening to her. I want more information, I want to know if she's aware of how bad she is getting, I want to know if she is scared, I want to know if they should be telling her they are taking her instead of just having them show up and put her in a car. She is my grandma, the dearest thing to my heart!
