Kleigh you really shoulda been a comedian...loved that!

I'm currently a mother of an adopted son who just started K.

Previously, I was a Director of Corporate Communications for a Patient Satisfaction firm...and an advertising executive for 13 years.

I have to say while waiting to adopt I was a sub teacher and I loved it...could see doing that next year when son is in school full time and what excites me about it the most is how easy I would be able to get up and down off the floor with the kids...YOOOO HOOO

My husband and I are both part time independent business owners, we are part of a leadership team. Full-time my husband is in the U.S. Airforce. I sell the make-up line in our business.

http://dboyett.qbeautyzone.com/, if anyone needs make up or skin care check it out. The NAO line is awsome for those of us who like the dramatic look, with lots of shimmer and glitter. Think MAC but affordable.

Hi Everyone!

I've been taking classes to complete a certificate in Public and Non-Profit Management but haven't been real sure what I wanted to do with that. I am a partipant in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and keep thinking about how I want my career to matter and make some sort of difference.

The class I am in now deals with Policy decisions. So I've been researching that. I found an advocacy training thru the National Breast Cancer Coalition in Va next May that I want to attend and find a way to make a lving advocating for a cure. Now I just have to find a way in.....

      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.
