Another benefit
Just thought I would post about another side benefit to this WOE.
Due to economic circumstances, I am applying for another job. Saw the posting in the local paper and although I am employed now, it is in the forestry industry which we all know is not exactly a growth (ha!ha!) area. Anyway, in the past, I would have talked myself out of putting in an application for a variety of reasons, but one I never acknowledged was the concern of the interview. I think we all have to be honest about the discrimination that is made against 'fat' people and combining that with my age, it was just too daunting. To get to the point, it wasn't until after I had e-mailed my application, that I realized that I don't fear an interview as much as before. Now I can't do much about my age (although I'm getting my hair dyed today ) but the success I have had so far on this WOE has obviously already boosted my self-esteem. Just another benefit to sticking to this plan that I had never considered before. Brenda W 205/151/140 March 23, 2003 |

Yaaaayyyy !!! Brenda.. Congrats on applying.. that's always a big step. I'll be crossing my fingers for you. btw.. love the little rib about the forestry industry not being a 'growth' area. ) Self confidence is a wonderful benefit . I always wonder where along the path, my being heavy and not being able to stick to a diet.. got in the way of achieving my goals and dreams. I went to a school BBQ in the earlier part of September.. and had people remark to others what a wonderful outgoing talkative person I am . I found that so funny... because i've been to the BBQ the past 3 years.. and was never even talked to or noticed at all.. I attribute it to the fact that I feel better about myself and don't see the need to hide from others now. Who knows .. could all be in my head too.. LOL Best of Luck on the job.. Let us all know ) ~Karen~ On Wed, 24 Sep 2003 15:28:49 GMT, "Brenda W" wrote: Just thought I would post about another side benefit to this WOE.

People can actually look surprised if something halfway intelligent or funny comes out of your mouth! Anyway, I'm sure that from your posts, you are a lot of fun to be around. And don't let those dreams and plans slip away. If not today, then when? (Not too sure if I even want the job I applied for as it is less money, but it's for the government and boy, do I want to be working somewhere with a pension) Brenda W |

I know exactly what you mean - I had the courage to apply, got the job, and am un-afraid when working with the most brutal of subjects: middle school and high school students. So far, so good. Stressful because of the change, but good, very good. -- Nancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the to send mail). |

Just a touch less brutal. Brenda |
