Happy Birthday Tony and I am truly sorry that it didn't see your wishes come true.
Why, why are people so unkind ??
Your story is intruiging and I can relate to so much of it. In particular the losing weight and feeling good about yourself, I have read many many self help books, (although I think my next one will be PM) including those on weight loss as I too, have a problem in that area. Many of these books say that something in your subconscious is telling you not to lose weight and I have recently discovered what mine is .... What if I lose weight and you are still not interested in ML with me ? OR Why should I lose weight to make you feel like ML with me when others are still interested in being with me ?? Nevertheless, I am working on it.
Your analogy about getting over someone who sleeps in the same bed also rings very true with me .... sometimes I find myself wishing that I didn't have to sleep in the same bed, wishing that the little subconconsious touches weren't there because they make you want them even more.
I'm sorry I can't offer you any advise, but I can congratulate you on giving it every opportunity to work and offering (hopefully) some solice that other people do understand.
