Tomorrow afternoon I will be interviewing for a chance at a GIGANTIC promotion. Although I am totally qualified for the position, I wouldn't have dreamed of throwing my name in the hat 3 months ago. The weight-loss and ability to control my eating has given me that much confidence.

Part of me is terrified but another part is so grateful that I've found the confidence to pursue these opportunities I've let pass for too long. Getting the call that I made it to the interview stage is one NSV, actually facing the THIRTEEN member interview panel will be another. Actually getting the job? Beyond my wildest expectations!

To those contemplating this surgery, I would say that the greatest benefit to this surgery beyond the weight loss is the confidence and self assurance you find on the other side. :)

Thanks Ladies for the awesome words of encouragement. I think they worked because I did, indeed, kick major ass in that interview!!! bananahuge.gif I was so calm, relaxed and (here's my favorite part!) I sat throughout the interview WITH MY LEGS CROSSED all confident and self-assured. FREAKIN' AWESOME! I have no idea if I will get the position but I am completely at peace knowing I did my part and now God just needs to decide if it's the right position for me. Of course, if I get it, I'll be sure to update! :)

Thanks again!

Amanda

Such awesome news. Good luck with the one on one interview. Knock 'em dead.

And you are right about the confidence. My boss keeps joking with me that while I am losing weight I am gaining a sassy 'tude. ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
