About Me
I'm currently an Esthetician and Make-Up Artist. It's exciting and interesting! I'm also recently divorced and thankful to have made this change in my life. I feel more free to confront issues that I was afraid of before. As an agnostic, open-minded invidiual I try to learn from people in my daily life as well as people I casually encounter, etc. I think we'd be a happier world if we could all be just a little bit more appreciative of diversities. Little changes can make a big difference!
Interests
What don't I like to do? That's easier to answer than what I do like to do. Because I'll do most anything at least once just for the experience. The exceptions: things that hurt other people, harm animals, or are against my morals or ethics. I spend a lot of time with my Mom and Dad who are so fun! They are in their 70s and are so positive and nurturing. My Dad has advance bone and prostate cancer but is still very upbeat and accepting of his limitations. I am an only child now (my sister passed away in 2003) so family is even more important than ever! I also spend a lot of time with friends and going to classes/seminars about skin care and cosmetics, etc. Anything to learn more about my field of work is interesting. What else? I like bowling, cooking, gardening, reading, museums, music, and fluff like the E! Channel (especially the Girls Next Door), VH1, the Sopranos, CSI (especially Miami), People magazine, etc. Hey - it can't all be serious!

Support Groups
Close Obesity
The only time I was thin was in high school. I starved & excerised obsessively. Guilt & secrecy made habits of bingeing, purging, & bulimia. My sister had severe ulcerative colitis & food allergies. We were very close so I didn't want to make her sad by eating foods she couldn't have when she was around. I hated being restricted due to her health issues. I'm now trying to lose 100lbs+ & need support.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- Tried carb addicts and Atkins. Couldn't stick with it but lost while I was on these diets. Don't currently eat red meat or pork. No artifical sweenters, either.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery Considering
- I'm looking into this and would appreciate feedback from those who have had it. I have friends who have done lap band and had great results but some side effects.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I need to get back on the plan! I do stand and walk quite a bit at work. I had great results 3 yrs ago when I worked out 3 times a week. Need to get back on it!
- Weight Watchers Not Working
- too much freedom didn't work for me. I cheated and didn't have enough focus. It was like telling an alcoholic she could have a little bit of alcohol but not get drunk.
Close Food Addiction
I have lifelong issues with food addiction. It has crippled my life in many ways and I want to change. I grew up with a sister who had severe ulcerative colitis & food allergies to wheat, milk, & eggs, etc. We were very close so I didn't want to make her sad by eating foods she couldn't have when she was around. I was also resentful of being restricted due to her health issues. Guilt & secrecy made habits of bingeing, purging, & bulimia. I'm trying to lose 100lbs+ & need support.
Open Bereavement
My sister lost her battle to cancer in 2003. My fiance committed suicide in 1995. My Dad is losing his cancer battle now. When is it time to recover?
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I just let it come across me when it does and I find it very cleansing.
- Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- I just don't want to deal with these issues at a specific day and time on a schedule. It's too depressing knowing I have to talk about it and being regulated by appts.
- Prayer Not Working
- I'm just not a religious person and the deaths made me even less religious.
