NSV in a bad situation

[ousooner 1]

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.

Sometimes stuff happens for a reason. I have lost (for one reason or another) lots of jobs, and always landed a better one.

I fully believe everything happens for a reason, and hopefully your new job will be more than you can imagine. Good luck in your new adventure.

I think Jack's got the full measure of this one! What a HUGE step you've made away from that other life. Good luck on the next step down the amazing path of your new life!
