Rambling...

During the holidays my loss REALLY slowed down which has been very frustrating. Monday I went back to using Fitday and realized I had consumed OVER 1400 cal and 80g fat. HOLY COW!!!! Well that scared me and so far I have been doing so much better, only around 800 cals... Of course a couple more pounds have dropped off finally. My sister has always been skinny. In high school I was a 14, she was a 7! She gained weight after her 2 kids and got up to a 14! How devistating... Anyways, I ask her how much she weighed this morning, she said 206, I am at 202!!!!!! This is the FIRST time in my life I have weighed less than her.... I am so happy!!!!! I am also in a comfortable 16, down from a tight 22. I am so thankful I have been given a chance at a healthy wonderful life!! On another note, I have been quietly job hunting lately. I was going to change this past summer but stayed for the insurance (& surgery). Now I know it is time to move on! I am a "full-time" employee working 28 hours a week.... My hours continue to get cut and soon I will loose my insurance anyhow! Sooooo I sent out a few resumes and got 3 calls back this week. All want me to come in tomorrow for interviews. Fridays are now days off so it is perfect. I have them spaced throughout the day and my daycare provider said she will take my daughter too so I can go!!! I just wanted to share my excitement and how my life is improving everyday. I truly am blessed!!!!!! Carmen

Carmen That's so great that you have 3 interviews in one day. It won't give you much time to get nervous. Just remember how far you've come and that you can achieve anything. Stacey

You GO girl! You look great by the way! I bet you get a smashing offer soon! Sher'

Congrats! I am sure you will do good at all the interviews and then you will have your choice. Heidi

Congrats for your job interviews and hope you will get one of them Kathy K

Carmen, Good luck on the interviews today! Anne

Best of luck on the three job interviews today Carmen! I am sure after the weight you have lost your self-esteem is better than ever and you will ACE the interviews. Keep us posted on how things went - smile You will be in my thought and prayers today Carmen Beth

Thanks everyone!!!! The first interview went REALLY well. It is for a receptionist / front office position at a dental office. I have a second interview Tuesday morning to meet w/ some of the Doctors..... I can't wait to see what happens this afternoon! My self-esteem and self-worth has gone up tremendously as the pounds have dropped. I am more confident in my abilities now than I was when I was 160 lbs (years ago). After everything I have had to deal with being obese, I truly am a strong and skilled woman and am able to easily represent myself as such!!!! Carmen

Good for you!! Congrats and good luck on your job interview! Phyllis
