Gotta Get Another Job

You guys rock! Thanks so much for the support. I always know I can count on you guys. The interview was long and grueling. I was the last one of the day and we didn't start until 5:30 so I don't know how well I did. I'm hoping that my work history will speak for itself. I guess I'll find out the results later in the week. I'll be back to let you know. Hugs, Connie

Connie, I'm finding that in the beginning, most people pretended to be happy for me and my journey to my healthier, happier life... But the closer i get (like you) the more you will see, the true feelings of people are coming out. She is so green with envy she cant stand it. I'm sure you looked great but she will not tell you that. These kind of people do that to keep you in "your place." I'm running into that with people close to me where it's not as easy as changing jobs. A close family member came by my home just to tell me, that I have no boobs now... (what?????) How dare she? I went from a full "C" cup to a shallow "B" cup. I'm going to have a boob job done, one day (If i can gigure out how to get nsurance to pay for it.) but she didnt want to say that I looked good with losing 100 pounds. She had to find SOMETHING negative to say. It's even closer to me than that, I mean really really close to me... (like they want to say, with all the complaments you are getting, you're not all that) I dont understand that... but I wont go into it. Anyway, my point is... You do what YOU need to do to take care of YOU! YOu are definently evolving, the old you would have just took it and shoved it under the carpet (right?) your growing in every copasity... with growth come new opportunities and victories. and a new job sounds AWESOME!! for the NEW YOU!!! But look out for those people who are so envious that they try to keep you down. it will come more and more. This is your time... enjoy Sarah 3/1/04 RNYLap -107 lbs size 18/20 Goal: size 16/18

I felt good reading all these replys. i was starting to think that i was the only one who had people that your close to say nasty things. I do believe that your boss is actually bordering on harresment! i had a good work friend who is now heavier than me (meow meow hehehe) come up to be after someone had just given me a complement on how great i looked to tell me that i should look into something to fix my hair after all of the hair loss that I've suffered! This was a major depressing thing for me. My hair was thining to begin with and the old scalp was showing more than I liked. so her comment in front of the office not only hurt my feelings it embarresed me & took away my ability to "make believe" the thinning hair wasn't as bad as it really was. Right after lunch I rushed to the drug store to pick up some special shampoo. When I came back into work several co-workers came up to me to say not to let her bother me cause my hair looked just fine but her green eyed jealously looked ugly. its been 6 weeks since that day and my hair is FINALY growing back! I'm never gonna have the thick hair of my youth but at least the scalp isn't showing that much now! good luck & god bless, pam
