I am about 4 months out and have lost52 lbs. more than half way to goal. I just worked up the courage to apply for two really great jobs. One as a nursing school instructor and one as a charge nurse in labor and delivery.

I'm not sure I will qualify because it has been 10 years since I last worked. I felt to bad about myself to even think about re-entering the work force

But today I got two calls. One was an invitation to send in my résumé. The second call is for an interview for Friday!!

Never would I have had the guts to even apply before the surgery. I am hopeful for the first time in a long time.

Hit 'like' to give me a boost and some encouragement

Are you feeling better about yourself? What kind of chances have you been taking with the new you? Please share!

That is so fabulous for you- amazing! I am about to graduate with an AAS in Respiratory Care and embarking on a second career at 40! I am about to start applying for jobs, and I am not so nervous about my appearance during interviews as I once was. Congrats to you- wish you the best of luck!

GIRL POWER! Yea!

Tink!!!!!! I can't like this because I love it! I am so happy for you with your weight loss and your new confidence that is allowing you to take such a big step. I cannot wait to hear an update on this. I have noticed that I have more confidence as well, I am making changes in my appearance and am also more outgoing!

I am also thinking about changing jobs or going back to school!
