Hug
My husband and I have a great love life, even though I'm at least 100 pounds over weight, and I think it helps that we both think the other person is beautiful a possible. We become one another's preference. Don't be afraid to try new positions because of what you think you might look like, or what he'll see. He loves every bit of you, and when you're less inhibited, he'll enjoy being with you even more.
Hug
Thanks for the hug and the encouragement. Yeah, one minute at a time is sometimes all I can do. lol. Congrats on getting a new baby in the family!!

Close Mortgages & Foreclosures
Bought our house 2 yrs ago for $649K and we just put it up on the market as a short sale for $499,950. We just lowered to $450,000 and now have 2 offers. I will start a journal for the process for others also going through a short sale.
Close Diabetes Type 2
Family history of Type 2, my paternal grandfather dies of complications. My dad and mom have T2 as well. I was dx a month ago(Aug 2008) and on Metformin (500mg 1x) and it's helping. But I need to learn how to eat and I need to loose this weight.
Treatments
- Metformin Working / Worked
- Have been on it for about a month and it seems to be working. It's hard to remember to take it with dinner, I should tie a string around my finger ;0)
- Physical Exercise Considering
- I need to get by butt up and moving. I know it works when I do it.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered from depression since adolescence & the older I got the worse I got. Now that I am older I can understand it better. I have been on & off medication since I was 20 (now 36). I can now accept that I have depression & I don't hide from it anymore. I feel you need to embrace it, & help yourself deal with this disease. Depression trails from a long line in my family, so for me I've realized it's not my fault, but I am the master of it, and I choose to control it.
Treatments
Open Financial Challenges
Bought a house 2 yr ago and it's all gone down hill since then. We were first timers, and inexperienced. We have about $30k in credit card debt and about $5K in secured debt and then our house for $650K (it's the bay area)
Treatments
- Budgeting Somewhat Helpful
- if I stick with it , it works good. I turned it over to my husband who has done a great job. I should of done it 2 years ago and we might not be where we are today.
- Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
- If you don't have them it makes it harder to use them
- Debt Consolidation Working / Worked
- We get so many offers for 0% cards. But we only transfer cap or it will save us in the end, otherwise it's not worth it. Just because it's 0%interest it doesn't mean it's a good deal.
Open Obesity
100 lbs overweight and just found out I have type 2 diabetes
Treatments
- Jenny Craig Somewhat Helpful
- The food is so good, but so expensive. If your able to afford it, it's a good way to go. But if you need to save money just buy frozen WW dinners and you get the same results.
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Somewhat Helpful
- I've been to a few meeting and I have to say for me it helped. It is comforting to know there are other people out there that can relate to you. It's a really good support group. I like the women only groups the best, it's like a room full of sisters.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I lost 50 of my 70 lbs I gained while pregnant by just exercising, but I stopped and gained it all back. JUST DO IT!!!!!
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- If your serious about it, it works well.
Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
I have a 4 yr old daughter and would love to have a network of moms with children the same age
Treatments
- 1-2-3 Magic Working / Worked
- Works every time. But at every number my tone changes so she know when to actually 4 she's BUSTED!!! :0)
- Child Time-out Working / Worked
- We start with this first 1 minute for each year of age
- Education (School) Working / Worked
- My daughter has Childhood Apraxia of Speech so school was very necessary. She have been in for a year and is doing so much better, but still has a way to go. But we can actually understand her now.
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- When I have it it works
- Play Therapy Working / Worked
- Our daughter totally need that extra social interaction. Being in a MOMs Club helps her, and me for that matter. We have both made some great friends
- Positive Reinforcement Somewhat Helpful
- It helps for after situation. Please and Thanks yous from the parent works good too.
