ousooner 1 Posted August 30, 2006 I got bad news yesterday that I needed to find other employment after 6 1/2 years at my current job. That is the bad part. In the past, this would have been a prime time to binge eat because of depression. But the good news is that I din't. In fact, I had to make myself eat because I didn'r have an appetite. Strange but fantastic. The other good news is that I should have a better opportunity for new employment. We all know us fat people get descriminated against, but being down 80 pounds and having more confidence - I know I am going to land on my feet and do well. Just wnated to share. Kind of a bad way to find out how great it is to be banded, but I will take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stitchy 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Sometimes stuff happens for a reason. I have lost (for one reason or another) lots of jobs, and always landed a better one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
