NSV: Smaller Waist Line...Bigger Paycheck

[PrettyThick1 1,860]

I am by no means ungrateful for the insane salary increase I just got, neither am I so gullible to think that after 9 years, they suddenly realize my value. No. I have been blessed with a $20k per year salary increase...and a hell of a lot less responsiblity. I know it's because of the way I look. I use to loathe women like that, the ones that get things their way just because of the way they look. I now realize that it's not their fault. Blame hormones, if you're attractive to men or women in power you just go further.

I'm not complaining. I love my band "Miss Pearlie"! She has given me a brand new life...not just a better version of the one I had before, which was still pretty awesome.

Congratulations! Yes I know where you are coming from. I was formerly self-employed and did many interviews. Sorry to say that influenced me somewhat. We had a professional office and I hated sloppy appearances, and now that I am overweight myself, I don't look too great at times. . . . . . maybe heavy folks are harder on their clothes & larger sizes are certainly more expensive. . . . . . . But you give the lap banders another reason to keep on livin' in our "zone"!

Keep us informed on how it going . . . .

Congratulations! Besides your weight change, perhaps you also take more pride in yourself, dress more professionally, act differently, care more, have more enthusiasm, etc. All those may have also contributed to your promotion. But whatever the reason, enjoy that extra money! best wishes
