Hi Tanya... I'm late, but Happy Thanksgiving to you too... I hope you had a good one. I too am very thankful for so much in my life. It's a great time to reflect and appreciate what good things we do have. Love, Pam

Hi Joe! I seldom ever eat bread. Guess I'm afraid of getting fat again. I am a little over a year out and I can still only eat 1/2 of an open face sandwich. If I eat a hamburger I take off the top bun and eat half. Chicken breast - I can eat half of a chicken breast in about 15-20 minutes. Depends if I'm eating vegetables too. Steak...I can only eat a few bites. Beef still hurts my stomach. I worry about all the snacking I do. I like you eat half and then 30 minutes later am grazing again. Do you think it's going to make us fat again? Amy

Thank you Tanya, I appreciate your response and everything did work out. I will be going back to work on Monday. Adrienne

Hi All, I tell you, I can not win for loosing!! At anyrate, everyone knows that I left last month and went to a Rehab for my Alcohol abuse. Before I left my job, I tried talking to HR about me leaving and because I had not been on the job 90 days yet, how was it gonna work. Well HR tells me to talk with my Manager, which I did. He said he spoke with HR and they said because I did not qualify for Short Term Disability or FMLA there was nothing for me to fill out. They said I just needed to bring documentation when I returned. Well, as my luck would have it, this is not the case. So for the last week and a half, I have been battling with them about weither or not they are gonna let me come back. The HR Manager that my Manager was supposed to talk to said he never talked to her, as it turned out my Manager spoke with someone else in HR who is no longer with the company Go go figure!! The HR Manager said to me that I should have been informed that if I left and when I came back and brought documentation that because I was not eligable for anything that they would have to review the documents and then determine weither they would allow me back. I said to her that was never made clear to me or I probably would not have left. A major factor in me feeling comfortable with my decesion to go to Rehab was the comfort in me knowing I had a job to return to. At anyrate, that may have been GODS way of getting me to go and get the help I needed. So if I do not get to keep my job, I am ok with that. I am learning to ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE. Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent. Thanks Adrienne
