open up my search to encompass the entire United States. I was sick of sitting at home, waiting up constantly for a boyfriend who could NEVER seem to be home and gaining weight constantly!...
Again, I appreciate your advice and if there is anything I can do to help you in the future, don't hesitate to ask!...

25 years? How did you manage, that's inspiring to say the least! If you have any advice on coping strategies (I'm alone ALOT) or diet or exercise recommendations, I'm all ears!...
Lyn, Thanks again. To answer some of your questions, yes she does have family and friends around her who are constantly trying to help her get through these rough times but she is very stubborn (like...
Thanks for the tips, I'm always willing to try new techniques to sleep!!! ...
