Looking for support buddy

Hi I am looking for a support buddy or two. I am 47, stay at home mom, my husband has Lou Gehrig's disease so I find myself making bad food & exercise choices. I am looking for someone who is willing to keep in contact on a almost daily basis. I would love to find other individual's living with similar issues (spouse with terminal illness) but would appreciate anyone who is wiling to be a support buddy on this new chapter in my life.

    Hi Maria! I would be happy to be your friend. I will be 42 on the 28th of this month. I am sorry to hear that your husband is terminally ill, that must be extremely difficult to deal with. While my husband is a very healthy man, He does work out of state 2 weeks of the month, which is very difficult for me.This has been the way it has been since we have been married, really, but I still do not like it. I suffer from severe depression at times.

    We have 5 beautiful children, the oldest of which is in college. We live in western Wyoming on a small 10 acre farm. We raise most of our own food, including milking our own jersey cows.

    I am in the process of losing a bit more than 100 pounds, I am nearly 4 weeks in, and have lost about 10 pounds so far. I feel very confident with this!

    Anyways, that is a little info about me. Please add me as a friend if you wish.I could use the motivation as well! :smile:
