Happy Monday, lovelies! I hope everyone's week is starting off well :) I am posting this here because I know I'd probably catch flack on the VSG board, and I'm just too excited to mess with that!

I have a job interview tomorrow! I am interviewing to work in a trendy restaurant in Chattanooga called "Milk and Honey." They focus mainly on coffee, snacks, and desserts. They are famous for their gelato (it really is killer - Yes, I've tried it! GASP!). I had an "on the spot" interview last week, which went really well, and got the call for the 2nd interview today.

Once again, I am so thankful for my sleeve. If it hadn't been for this massive weight loss and all of the "teaching tools" that have come along with the entire WLS process, I would have NEVER ventured back into the culinary world. I worked as a director/cook for a volunteer organization in New Orleans back in college, but I never thought that cooking was going to be anything more than a fun hobby. Now that I've gotten my weight (pretty much) under control, I feel brave enough to pursue this thing that I am so passionate about. Honestly, why I didn't go to culinary school to begin with baffles me. I am a foodie. Always have been, always will be. And now I might get to do it as a paying career!

Wish me luck, guys!

Thanks, Sandy. I just figure it might draw some unnecessary comparisons to putting an alcoholic working in a liquor store...

As long as you stick to your plan, you'll do great! And by working there, you'll probably get so sick of it you won't want to eat it anyway!

Good for you for following your passion, Chrissy! And you won't catch any flak from me about being around food. I'm in the process of baking and decorating about six dozen cookies for Easter, and I'm not tempted by them one bit.

Let us know how it goes!
