  1. Unemployed again - twice in 1 year - at least it was my choice this time. I have prospects and won't be out of work long this time but still sort of wish I could eat a giant bag of potato chips or a pint of ice cream. Yes I know that doesn't help long term.... Ready to give up adjulting for the week!

      No potato chips for you, young lady. It won't do to show up for your next job covered with crumbs.

      ooo! I think if I decided I need plastics and had everything together I'd be very impatient and annoyed by delays too. let us know what is going on, and we will be excited to see your

      Thank you @Christinamo7 for understanding and saying that!! Would you believe I got a call from a different company to come interview yesterday? Blah! I am blessed to have options but I HATE having to make decisions that are going to disappoint others. (Yep! I am a people pleaser to the core!) Trying to keep others' feelings out of it and commit to what is best for me, but that is tough!

  4. I saw some of my family last night whom I haven't seen since Christmas also. I am not down that much more since then, but everything has shifted around a bit and the last 20 or 30 pounds really make a difference! My baby brother (10 years younger) said he had never seen me at this weight in his entire life. He is 38... That was hard to hear BUT he said it with such love and admiration as did everyone else. It was at this same birthday event last year that I told everyone I would be having the surgery. (Surgery was June 4, 2015)

      @KindaFamiliar - Thanks! When are they going to add a "LIKE" button to status/status update! :) Sincerely - truly appreciate your continued support and encouragement (and the laughs - always the quick witted commentary which insights the LOLs and then others staring at me asking what on earth is so funny!)

  9. Long day but feeling blessed - packed up my office today (laid off in a few days). My town was then hit with a tornado tonight. Utter devstation less than 1/2 mile away. It stopped at the end of my street.... Tomorrow work will start to help others who weren't as lucky including my step-father. Puts life in perspective for sure.

      @jenchubbs - thank you. And I was thinking the same plus being out of work soon and will definitely have some volunteer opportunities to occupy my time. Very grateful that my home was spared. Worried about my step-father but grateful I will have the time and strength/health to help him.

      Thank you @zsnaani! Been a rough week but hopefully next week will be better.

  11. Just realized I am no longer Morbidly Obese and not even Severely Obese - just plain ol' obese now (based on BMI anyway). Hmmm..... strange that actually sounds good?
