I give up
Ok...so even though the quote is from a former A$$hole on this board...."giving up is not an option" suits this well.
Not you, not now, not ever, not before has ANYTHING you wanted worth giving up on. You're better than that...and, by the way, YOU are in control, not the thoughts or the food in reference to "wanting to eat" I hear ya :)

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup2.gif)

I'm sorry Nicole - I can only assume you either had the job or were anticipating getting the job.
It doesn't appear this person has undergone any type of weight loss surgery - and she can have all the schooling in the world but until you experience life as an obese individual and go through the surgery and challenges of living life afterward I don't see how she can relate personally to her clients.
I went to Jenny Craig a million years ago and the first counselor they gave me was all of 5' and weighed about 90 lbs - she had never, ever had a weight problem and after 2 sessions with her I told the staff at JC to give me someone else - someone that could relate to ME and MY obesity issues.
I have no doubt that you will be fine even tho this is a blow right now - watching you help people on these boards tells me that you're in the right profession and that it's Dr Brader's loss as well as Lancaster Gen.
Keep your chin up - this may open more windows that you never knew were there...Kathy

Nicole, I am not totally sure what happened. I can make a pretty good guess though. The one thing I am one hundred percent sure of is that many times I have wanted and worked to something that I just couldn't get and and have felt defeated and kicked while I was down too. Then another opportunity comes along and it is so much better then what I had planned and when I look back at it I know that there is a force bigger then me and Thank Goodness knows better then me, that has a plan better then I could have for myself. I know it doesn't seem like it now but, just wait and don't give up. In a short while you'll see the universes plan unfold and you will love the results.

Hey Nicole,
Didn't know you were going for that and am very sorry it wasn't you. I'm with the other lady...let's slap her...*winkie wink*.....You have a LOYAL fan/friend/client list and you'll be jammed with clients sooner than later, I am sure.
Big hugs!!!!

Thanks Kim. I was not sure if should post this or not, but I thought damnit this is MY SUPPORT GROUP, these are the people who know me, who are there for me so I took a risk. It will all work out in the end i know it. But I just wish I had been told rather than having to find it out from the website.
I am so much better today and it is a direct result of the love and support I get from this board. I am appreciative.

I am late to the party as usual. Hang in there. I happen to agree that any time in my life when I thought that something horrible had happened it always turned out to be a "blessing in disguise". I agree with all the other comments that have been made. You ROCK!! Don't give up on your dream. You will find your place and will shine. (((hugs)))
Just saw the post. i'm sorry it did not work out but I have to agree that maybe the fates are moving you in another direction. You might have thought this was the 'dream' place to be but maybe its not. You are meant to help someone else out there and the universe is guiding you to them.
Love and Hugs
