Been missing you all. . . and some NSV's

[claraluz 2]

Hi, everyone. My board usage has been very sporadic of late because I am studying for an exam for a higher credential. And the studying has been so rewarding in and of itself that I am now planning to go back to school for another master's degree! The plans are a little vague of yet. I know I wouldn't have done either of these things pre-band. I've been eligible to take this exam for 14 years, but I never had the ambition, the vision, or the confidence to do so. Losing weight with the band has allowed me to re-discover my strengths. And I always thought I was too lazy to go back to school, but I realize I wasn't too lazy, only too tired. The band has given me so much more energy.

And just to top it off: I bought new clothes and I bought a pair of XL pants - not a 1,2,3, or4 X, but an XL - in a regular store! I'm so amazed.

So anyway, if my posts are more now-and-then for a while, I know you'll understand. It's just me, living my brand new life. But I do miss all your posts. I feel like I know so many of you.

I'm still getting used to the new board format. Why is there a red dot by my name?

Wow, Nancy! You are ambitious now! Congrats on the new direction and the new size.

The red dot is you being active, I think. They don't want you to get confused about who you are! A green dot is someone online and a blue dot is someone not online.

Good Luck and congratulations on your new found energy and ambition!

Wow, Nancy, another Masters! Now, that's an NSV to brag about! I'm so glad that everything is going so well for you! Congratulations on the regular clothes sizes, too! Super job!
