Wish me luck! I have a new job working in a consignment shop! Wish me luck in not buying anything! I am guaranteed Mon - Fri 11-3 & then extra hours when needed. & I get 20% off & first pick of the clothes that come in! The place is huge! It's like the size of 4 or 5 Dollar General stores (if you know what they are). It's only 15 minutes away from home. I have never worked that close to home. I think it will be fun!:clap2:

Hi Jessie ~ I'm so jealous!! You are in the perfect place to get things b4 they hit the shelves. I've sold a bit on E-Bay and you may want to watch out for some of the name brand items. You can pull BIG bucks on some of those things. I look for Gymboree, Baby Lulu, & Stride Rite. I just sold a used pair of Stride Rite gym shoes for $12.99!! Not bad for being used, but they had tons of wear left in them. Just something to thing about. :confused:

Good luck on your new adventure and have fun!!

I totally love it! Everybody that works in there is in one stage or another of chunkiness. It's awesome! I've had lots of questions about the band. I share with anyone who wants to hear about it. Most people are curious, but some are really interested. It is really hard to do my work instead of shopping. I was born a shopper! I sell a lot of stuff on ebay too. I don't have anything on there right now cause I've been too busy. But you should see the mountains of stuff surrounding me that needs to be put on there. I brought a U-haul full of stuff from Georgia. I helped my Nana clean out her garage & basement while i was there. The family brought a bunch of stuff to her house for a yard sale & then left it. For 2 years! I couldn't stand it any more. Anyway, I'm rambling! Thanks for the well wishes!!

Okay. I quit my new job. LOL!! I loved it. But I met the owner. She was a nasty piece of work!! I don't need to work that bad! I will still shop there though. LOL! I bought somthing every day that I worked. I think Lonnie was relieved that I quit. There's a first.

Oh Jessie, that is too bad about the owner. :phanvan Aren't you thankful to have a choice though? I have been in jobs were I have had to take a lot of crap b/c I supported myself for a long time. Johnny Paycheck sings a song that comes to mind.....:confused:....something about shove it. :heh:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
