    About Me

    I have always hated this question. It's hard to describe myself. I know who I am but putting it into words is difficult.

    Interests

    Plenty of interests and hobbies. I am especially into aromatherapy and I love to garden.

    • Close Infidelity

      Found out on 4/15 that my husband has been cheating w/ women he met on sites like AFF & OBC and one woman he picked up in a bar. What can I say. He's an asshole.

      Treatments

      Divorce Considering
      I just can't see any way to get past this. How can I ever trust him again?
      Time Somewhat Helpful
      I don't make snap decisions so I hope taking some time will give me clarity.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      We're off to a rocky start with our therapist but hopefully, we'll get it together.
    • Close Psoriasis
      Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Skin

      I've had guttate psoriasis since my freshman year in high school. At first, I didn't know what these unexplained outbreaks were and lived with them for quite a number of years before seeking a dermatologist. None of them ever diagnosed it as psoriasis. Some said it was acne, some said it was tinea versicolor. Through my own research, I found out it was guttate psoriasis.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Since eliminating sugar and process flours from my diet, I've noticed a reduction in the frequency and seriousness of my outbreaks
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I lost 40 pounds 5 years ago by Somersizing. I've maintained it with a tweaked version of the Schwarzbein Principle diet and most recently the Infidelity diet ;-).

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Working / Worked
      While I don't follow the Atkins diet to a tee, I am big believer that the overconsumption of refined carbs and sugar are the reason Americans are constantly fighting the battle of the bulge. Dr. Atkins is a gutsy pioneer for speaking the truth when no one wanted to hear it.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Cut out all processed flour and sugar. Moderate/controlled carbs.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Try to eat food as close to its natural state as possible. No refined sugar or processed grains.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I workout pretty regularly. It helps keep the weight off and keeps me in decent shape.
    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Maintain a workout schedule

      Was an avid exerciser until my husband turned my world upside down. It's hard to muster the mental energy to exercise most days. I really want to get into the habit again.

      Treatments

      Aerobics Working / Worked
      Cardio is a necessary evil. I don't particularly enjoy it but I do it to complete my exercise regimen and keep my heart healthy.
      Pilates Working / Worked
      I do this on occasion. It's hard to stick with bcuz it can be a bit boring. Good results when you can stick with it though.
      Strength Training Working / Worked
      Strength Training is my favorite type of exercise.
    • Open Healthy Eating

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
    • Open Healthy Relationships

      Apparently what I thought was a great relationship is not. I also have a hard time connecting with people and forming lasting friendships.

      Treatments

      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      I've thought about it long and hard and have decided that I am not willing to drastically change the parts of me that make me special just for the sake of having friends so I wait patiently for the right people and cherish the few friends I do have.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I've kept a journal for several years. When you don't have anyone to talk to, writing helps.
