I know how you feel about the family thing b/c my family eats alot of junk food too & it is hard to stay away from the sweets around the house,but take it 1 day at a time.I am in college full-time and work full-time,so I can relate to that one to.I usually get healthy choice or lean cuisine dinners to eat at work & nights when I do not have enough energy to cook.They are a little bland,but I just pull out Mrs.Dash seasoning salt.Why not finish school first,then worry about getting married & kids?It's hard enough going to school,just imagine w/ kids.In due time you will find that special one to love you for you,no matter what you weigh or look like.When I met my boyfriend 7 years ago I weighed 140 @ 5'3,now I way 215. If that person really loves you it won't matter to them. I really do not know much about Provera,this is only my 2 day taking it & I am not bleeding that bad at all,maybe one of the ladies here can help you w/ that.Good luck & keep your faith in God. Alexis T. P.S. Sorry so long!
