January 9 - Happy New Year!
How are you? Well, I haven't written in awhile and I have so much to tell. First of all, I started my new job on Tuesday the 4th - they had
a company holiday on the 3rd. It's only been a week since I started, but I love it there and I know I found the job that was meant to be mine. It is so incredible.
I never thought I would be this happy to go to work. I feel like a higher power (grandma maybe?) really helped me get this job. I mean, I had applied
and interviewed all over the place and nobody would hire me. I was convinced it was because of my weight. I still am. But then on a total long shot, I apply to this company that
I have wanted to work for for years, and they hire me! This has restored my faith in fate and higher powers. : ) Anyway, everyone there is so nice and helpful. The company has
about 15 buildings and I have to walk through them looking for people and I keep getting lost. Its pretty funny. People are so friendly though that they usually walk me to where
I'm trying to go. I love it. Anyway on to diet news. I started my new job weighing 255.5 pounds. Today I weigh 256 pounds. I know, I know. I was doing so well until last week.
I had really good intentions, but not so good follow through. Anyway, one of my new year's resolutions is to stick to my diet and lose 60 - 100 pounds by the end of summer. Even if
I can't lose that much, any significant loss would make me happy too. I am NOT going to do what I did last year. Last January I made the same resolution, but I kept putting it off saying
I still have time to get started, and next thing I new it was summer and I weighed the same as in January. The thought of where I could have been had I stayed on plan, was very depressing.
So I will not put myself through that again this year. Also, no more beating up on myself for messing up. I will do my best, and if I mess up I will get right back on track without all of
the negativity that I usually attach to it. Good plan huh? Well, there's more to tell, but it has to do with my so called "friend" that was supposedly "helping" us out with a place to stay,
but I don't feel like talking about that just yet. That subject will make me irritable and angry, so I will save that one for the next post. Have a great Sunday everyone.
