Hello All:
I am new to this and I am hoping that someone could help me with losing weight. There is nothing that I have not tried...other than lyposuction or wiring my mouth. I have gone to weight watchers, nutrisystem, slim-fast and everything in between. I am about 150lbs. overweight.

I have terrible feelings of guilt of the things I have done in the past; I have bad feelings of my family (rejection) and also guilt feelings of not being a better parent to my own two children. It always hurts to know my own family have family reunions and never include me. I always try to laugh it off and say that I guess I should be lucky to be the black sheep in the family, but I wonder sometimes if this is not one of the reasons that I eat too much. I have done many terrible things in my life, but I know in my heart that God has forgiven me .... it is just so hard to forgive myself.

If anyone on this board could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Dear AA,

"Long Road". I suggest starting with 1 dose "IGNATIA" 30C. No more. Wait.

Dear AA,

See response or lack of response to "IGNATIA" and perhaps need to go to "PULS".Maybe "NUX-V" or "PHOS-AC". But 1st "IGNATIA".
Have you been treated with any medicine lately? (long usage of antibiotics, anti depressants,...etc)
Are you on any medication? What is your health like (excluding over-weight)? Do you smoke or drink any alcoholic beverages?

The best thing you can do is get yourself to a professional homeopath who will take a full case history and prescribe a remedy which will be individual to you. This will help you with your emotioanl feelings and when those are dealt with you never know.....

All the best to you.

Thank you so much for the advice. I will try the IGNATIA first....then wait.

No, I don't drink or smoke. I used to smoke, but quit about 15 yrs ago. Take no medications. Over the years I have had the following surgeries: tonsils removed when small child, gall bladder removed, complete hystorectomy. I take an herb called "seven flower" to control my High BP and I am sure if I could get the weight off, I would be off that too.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Suggestions are cimicifuga, china, but it is needed with a full casehistorie to fin out properly.

Am.br, Am.c,Ant.c, Ars, cals,ars, calc.c, Calop, caps, col, fucus, graph, Iodothyr, Kali br, Kali c, Lacd d, Mang.ac , Phos, Phyt, Sabal, Thyr, tussil. gr , and many more remedies to treat obesity.
the best are-calc.c,Phos,graph.

One thing to take in consideration is the fact that a hysterectomy in nearly all cases leads to an increase in weight. I must still see the first woman who has not gained weight after such a procedure. I like John's suggestion of Ignatia - sad, but laughing it off and keeping up a brave face. On the other hand, if there is a history of not having the energy to deal with life's problems,or even the everyday work of running the family, Cimicifuga can also be considered. To give an exact remedy for you, you may want to give us some more info, such as the worst time of day, food likes and dislikes, anycravings you have when you want to eat as a compensation for affection and so on.

Should I keep a "diary' of what I eat, feel, do, crave, etc?

Sometimes, I crave sweets really bad....sometimes, I can't be satisfied no matter what I eat.

It's not really that I eat that much either...I have friends who eat much more than I do, and never gain an ounce. I remember when I was a size 10, I kept telling myselff and thinking that I was too fat. I was the smallest one in my family and now I am the biggest. My father who will be 89 soon, is in excellent health and has never had a weight problem, but his mother weighed about 500-600 lbs before she died. He had neices and nephews who were terribly obese. My mother gained weight after her 5th child got many health problems and was on dozens of prescriptive drugs before she dies at the age of 68, she had lost her weifht tho and was on a diabetic diet for her diabetes. I think growing up with the fear of getting fat......then seeing what drugs did to my mother made me afraid may have ssomething to do with my problem. Now that I look back on it. I do know God will heal me, and I know He will send the right person or information that I need. He knows my heart.

Thank you ALL who have taken the time to assist me with this.

The most likely remedie is Calcium carb, but it wont work if other remedies are needed first, remedies for problems manifested after operations.
I would suggest Sulphur if you are a warm person, if cold, Graphites (x12 twice a days for 14 days is whort a try), Natrium mur if you like salt things, and calcium carb if sweets.
