Holding Myself Back
I was talking to my "future husband" (he doesnt know it yet) last night, and i realized that my weight is holding me back professionally, not that I am being discriminated against but that I am not willing to "put myself out there" because of my fear of being discriminated against. I have above average computer skills why am I working in this 30 hr a week job that they keep screwing me around on my pay raise. Its ME!! I"M DOING IT!
SO my surgery will hopefully be scheduled for December when I will be off for winter break. My new years resolutions will be to stop holding myself back and start going for the gusto!!! Life is to be lived and enjoyed!
OF course I have educational benefits here and I may stay here for 1 more year for that reason but after that I am OUT!!! 
Hey M, Well I will have 3 weeks of earned paid leave by Dec.13. THe college is closed for 2 weeks at winter and I usually use that leave so I dont miss any pay during that time. So I am hoping to have surgery the week of Dec. 13th and I wont miss any work but a week which will be "vacation" and I wont lose any finances either. I am sure I will be approved and could probably have surgery by Nov. but I can't afford to miss that much work, my way its a win win all around for me!
I am having those discrimination problems myself. I have noticed it since my twenties. In the business world, people tend to think you cant be very smart if you are that fat. It has gotten worse, the bigger I have got. I have been out of work for 3 years to take care of my baby and now I am having a terrible time finding a job. Also, I am descriminated against because I have a criminal record--from 1994!!! How long can they hold that against you????????
Well good luck in whatever you decide to do!
