Sad, all I do is work.  I work thru the week at a Bank and waitress 16hrs on the weekend.  I really need to stop this.  I have no life and it makes me a missrable person sometimes.  People quit and I feel guilty about wanting to quit also but my weekend job boss is also a customer at the Bank and I feel bad about leaving her stranded.  It was really hard this summer when my iron dropped to a 3 and I had to have tranfussions...I felt like crap but I worked anyways...  I need to get some gutts and just stop this. 

I also work two jobs and have those same feelings. My second job is becoming less and less fun. I feel so bad to leave my boss hanging and I don't want to lose the tiny amount of extra income I get from it. I have decided that I'm going to work there until I hit my 1 year mark and then give notice. I want to give them plenty of time to find someone. In fact I think I can help them find a replacement pretty quickly, but I still feel bad about it. My boss is super nice and very professional. I feel like if I give him a solid year of employment I can use him as a good reference when I find another job in a couple years. I still want to quit now.

We went to the beach last weekend and it was Amazing and fun! I can't believe we waited this long to head out there. Seems like every time we planned it, there was rain.

What plans do you have this week? I have small weight loss goals. I have only 1 pound to go for my Sept 1st goal. So very excited. Gotta drop the weight I gained earlier this year. Next goal after that is to get out of the 200's!!

Have to work at the Resteraunt this weekend!  Last Horrah....I do have Monday off from the bank thank goodness first time off since my birthday july 9th.  I did take tuesday and wednesday also so of course it is going to rain again!  So sick of rain at the beach...Least my days off at the bank are paid.  I hate to leave my weekend job but I am exhausted and I worked all spring and summer even with almost no Iron in me.  I think I will feel much better if I have some days off though I do need the money.  It's getting up the guts to tell her...I feel like Im letting her down.  I really think this attitude is a left over from my fat days of wanting to make people happy so they will like me.  Well I like the extra money also....

Lets see things I want to do this fall........Go to a Renisance fest or a good PowWow...Been awhile since the latter...wow actually 5 years since GON...A good pyrate festival is nice..we just had one to Beaufort this month....Nothing like wearing a tight lace up corset...My boobs actually saw daylight...LOL been along for them!

Sorry you have having issues quitting. Is there any way you could work only 2 weekends per month? I'm so thankful I only have 4 months left at my second job. I can do anything for 4 mouths, right?

I did reach that weight loss goal a few days early! I wanted to get down to 212 by 9/1. I was at last Tuesday. I'm on of the few nonsurgery members on here. I used to post in the nonsurgery support area, but understandably it got really slow in there. Since I live in NC I'm thankful to have all of your support as I continue to lose weight. Anyways, I was 210.8 this morning and in total shock! I'm getting so close to the 100's.

Have a good labor day weekend everyone! I think we are going shopping.

Your doing Great...Hey it was realatively easy to lose with this surgery the first year though it felt like forever but now getting a few pounds off is not.  When it is all said and done, "What goes in , must come out"  No matter what it is all about what we eat and how much we move!  Thats why they call the surgery a tool not a cure.  I applaud you for journey.  It will be the same life changes for all of us.  It is just hard to break bad habits or to slide back to them.  Some days are so much harder than others espically the hormal times!
