thank you I will let you know how it goes. as to seeking medical help i'm not sure how that will play off, I just came to america don't have a medical plan or whatever you guys call it.I have been trying to eat breakfast, but being healthy by eating the right foods and trying to gain weight at the same time can be frustrating especially with the hours i have school for.
