EatSmart Precision CalPal Digital Bathroom Scale Review
I have personally struggled with my weight most my life. This has caused me not to only suffer from depression but also anxiety. I have discovered not long ago, that weight issues and anxiety go hand in hand. My anxiety was so severe when we would go anywhere, my stomach would turn in knots and I would have to go to the bathroom. This made family time pretty much impossible. I remember attempting to go eat out, and within the first 10 minutes I would be in the restroom. I would be in there several more times before we finished up and left. I remember I would sit there and try to rush my family, I would be having bad hot flashes, and knew as soon as we left my stomach would tell me to get to the bathroom. I would have to race home in hopes I didn't have an accident in my pants. When I worked outside of the home, I would start having panic attacks, they would get so bad I would have to hold on to something to keep from passing out. I knew if I wanted to stop having bad attacks I … [Read more...]
Family Doctor, Dentist, Eye Doctor Oh My!
My husband dislikes going to the doctor. So when we got back to the South and we went to yet again get our Tennessee Driver License, and the lady told my husband he had to go get his eye's checked before could get a state license, he was pretty mad. Matter of fact he informed the lady he would not be back. Well, he was right he hasn't been back. However, it's only because we lack funds to get the eye test done. When we do have the money to get it we will be hitting up Zenni Optical. The have a great selection of men's eye wear for great prices. Chance are my husband will only need the glasses when he is driving. I honestly don't think he needs them often times he can see things better than I can and I have glasses. If you have ever been to DMV they make the images blurry on purpose. I was having to squint when I was reading mine, and like I said I wear glasses. If I would have known the little trip to Michigan was only going to be a waste of time and money we would have stayed … [Read more...]
Anxiety Controls My Life
As I sit here, I am having one of my wonderful attacks. I hate feeling the way I feel most the time. I try to keep my mind on other things, that's why I enter giveaways. Entering giveaways lets me focus on entering instead of everything else in my life. If you have ever had a panic attack you probably know what I am talking about. Through-out the day I have about 3 to 4 attacks. The symptoms include hot and cold flashes, nausea, and a deep emptiness in the pit of my stomach. When I get to feeling this way I just want to be left a lone. I want to drown in my own little world. I recently started having a lot of headaches, I normally don't have headaches. If you suffer from anxiety you know where I am coming from when I say anxiety controls my life. I cannot go out with my husband and have a good time because I freak, I cannot take my daughter to fun places because I freak. Simple trips to Memphis don't happen because I freak.
