A Firecracking Summer
Hi! My name is Melissa. I am blind, but I don't let that little inconvenience stop me! I am a licensed professional counselor and an adjunct instructor of psychology at my local community college.
I'm dealing with depression and anxiety at this point in my life. My mom died on 12/12/12, my dad had a stroke on the Saturday before Easter and my beloved Jack was diagnosed with brain cancer shortly there after. I feel as if I am in a fog and the depression and anxiety certainly ...
Hi! My name is Melissa. I am blind, but I don't let that little inconvenience stop me! I am a licensed professional counselor and an adjunct instructor of psychology at my local community college.
I'm dealing with depression and anxiety at this point in my life. My mom died on 12/12/12, my dad had a stroke on the Saturday before Easter and my beloved Jack was diagnosed with brain cancer shortly there after. I feel as if I am in a fog and the depression and anxiety certainly resulted in a weight gain that I didn't need! I'm doing the Summer 5% Weight Loss Challenge and hope to be invited back to BLC 22! I need the challenges to help me get back on track with my eating and exercise.

My Goals:
My goal for the 5% Weight Loss Challenge is to be active on my team (Go Firecrackers) and to lose 9.1 pounds in 8 weeks.
My Program:
I don't want a program. I want to learn to eat what I want, when I want, but in moderation. I want to develop portion control and drink my water. I want to get back to a daily exercise program despite the stress and the running around town I must do right now!
Personal Information:
I am totally blind as a result of Type 1 Diabetes and living the wild life in my younger days! I celebrated 44 years of being diabetic this May. I live in lovely South VA and have a wonderful husband and a spoiled rotten furbaby named Captain Jack aka Jack, Doggie Destructo, Puppy Love, Tail Wagger and most recently The Sultan.
Other Information:
I read alot period, but especially enjoy psychological thrillers, murder mysteries and some occult like Steven King and Dean Koontz. I am an avid fan of belly dancing, Leslie Samsone walk videoes and now Curves Smart! I take belly dance classes, the occasional Zumba class, water aerobics and thinking of a Burlesque class this summer!
Summer is my favorite season and I am so happy about its return! That is if it really does return!
