Hope you enjoy the new change Ralph - I wish you all the best. But don't
let food intake get in the way of your happiness...........stay on course -
you've come so far - you can do this so long as you maintain it as a
priority in your life.

I remember switching jobs while I was still maintaining with WW (before my
pregnancies). I remember being invited to the restaurant more often than I
used to be, since we worked close to very nice restaurants in a very nice
area of the city. It was sometimes hard to refuse the hot fresh bread in
French restaurants, or the free dumplings at the Chinese ones, or again the
little chocolate at the end of a Belgium meal...

Not only was that hard, but even more so because my boss, who was Miss
Skinny herself, couldn't understand why I didn't indulge. She really thought
I was a boring person - no alcohol, no dessert, no bread! Eventually, I had
enough of refusing offers of foods all the time, so I started telling
everyone I was a Weight Watcher. Given my waistline at that time, everyone
was really surprised (you should have seen me, I looked hot!), and curious.
I explained to them my struggles with my weight, and, aside from my boss who
really was a b*t*h in the end, everyone understood, stopped bugging me about
what I ate and didn't eat, and, quite frankly, they showed some admiration
they hadn't expressed before.

All of this to say it doesn't matter if you're a long way or a short way to
your goal, as it won't once you're maintaining ('cause I know you'll get
there). I believe saying what you're doing, explaining the reasons (your
health, your well-being, your self esteem) behind it will have people
appreciate, respect and maybe even admire you. Only real mean people will
try to have you indulge in foods and quantities you don't want.

Good luck on the new job! I'm sure you'll be fine.
