Starting a new chapter in my professional life

I'll be changing jobs week after next and just had a thought... My new co-workers have never know me fat. How weird\wonderful will it be to have a truly fresh start?

Exciting! Good luck in your new career!

I've been thinking the same thing! I'll likely be moving to Ohio within the next year and when I do, no one there will know I was ever fat!

So true! Some new people at my office don't know my past either. It's so exciting!

@@bikrchk that is so awesome. I hope you have the best first day at a new job ever. I never stopped to think about who has never known me as I was before. Now I'm going to have to give this some thought:)

Im almost in the same boat as you . Im just waiting on the final stage of the interview process with my possibly new employer .. Its very exciting to be starting a new chapter in my life where i can walk, where people wont have known me when i was huge, don't get me wrong, i still have some way to go before i hit goal, but i honestly feel like the world is at my feet and all i need to do is take that plunge and start to really enjoy life for what it is!! I thank God for giving me a second chance at LIFE every single day!

Congrats on the new job, it is exciting to have new beginings especially where no one knows us and we cant be judge by our size. Keep up the great work.

The new head of my department only knows how I look now...not what I used to look like. So when he complimented me recently, it meant alot as it wasn't in reference to looking good as compared to before....but just for looking good...or should I say professional. FYI, the comment was not inappropriate in any way..lol.

How exciting for you!

Congratulations on your career change!

I too am starting a whole new life where the people I meet will not know that I was once morbidly obese. I keep wondering what that will be like. I am moving states in less than a week and will begin applying and interviewing for jobs.

Oh darn, that means I will have to go shopping for clothes and shoes to where so that I look great!
