First Time & With a Question.

welcome! i have seen all the episodes on tv about brookhaven - it doesn't seem to have the best program and doesn't seem all that monitored. they seem to always be showing people cheating and ordering in chinese food and not engaging in therapy to examine emotional needs that food is fulfilling. i don't know your situation obviously or why brookhaven was necessarily appealing to you but there are numerous residential clinics that you can go to that will address both the physical and the emotional ends of things. i myself went to the duke diet and fitness center. rates include all food, exercise,  psyc classes, medical monitoring. stuff like training, private therapy and housing is not included but it is an amazing program that addresses fitness, healthy psychology and medical. it has some of the best outcome rates in the country.  www.cfl.duke.edu there is also structure house located in durham, nc also. they are more focused on the psychology and include group therapy i believe.  http://www.structurehouse.com/ let me know if you want to know anymore about the DFC - would love to tell you more.

Thanks for the replies and kind greetings ladies. Holly I believe I sent you a message I hope it got to you. As to your question Andy of why Brookhaven stood out for me well I wanted some place that was going to take me in and get me out of the environment I am in. I feel I could do better physical and metal away. The main reason I want to get better and be able to walk around and not pass out or fall due to me being in such pain is I want to be a better mother. I want to be able to take my son across the street to the park and play with him. I want to be able to get up in the mornings and walk him down to the sidewalk to the bus. I will dearly miss him if I get the chance to go away but I want to give him a better mother and I think I even it owe it to him to try and myself. Yes I have seen the cheaters at Brookhaven as well but there are others that don’t cheat and you can be sure those will be the people I will be hanging with if I get a chance to go. Reality TV shows never show the whole thing or edit it to make things worse or focus on one thing and leave out all this good being done. They are going to air what they think is go to get more viewers. In many reunions the ‘cast’ is even saying this. Anyways yeah that’s my answer I feel its going to be the right thing for me and help me become a better healthier person so I can become a better mother for my son.
