Has anyone else noticed that a majority of us are in the "caring professions"? I can't help but wonder if that might say something about our personality make-up! (Before I became an attorney, I was both a nurse AND a counselor!)

I am a mother of two, 13 yr.old girl and 8 yr.old boy. I work as a medical assistant in an ob/gyn dept. at a health center for the past 14 yrs. Would love to go back to school for my RN license but just don't have the time right now. Gotta keep an eye on the kids and run a household. Fiance works long hours, so him keeping the kids is out of the question.

Not all of us are "caring professionals", Terri-fic. Personally, I'm a computer consultant with nothing but a completely mercenary approach to my job. I had to earn money to feed my pizza habit.

My DH and I are self-employed. We own and run a Roofing / Siding / Windows business, http://www.holdrenroofing.com/door/ .

I also sold on e-bay for about 5 years but got out of it, at least for a while. I want to get back into it but right now we're busy trying to do some up-dating of our home, which is a pain in the butt. We have 2 adult children who live about 200 miles away from us in Charlotte, NC.:rolleyes:

I am a registered nurse. I was a labor and delivery nurse for 6 years. I just recently changed to dialysis ( to get the WLS benefit). Just don't tell my new employers that! No hospital in town insurance pays for WLS. I miss labor and delivery so much! I am a mother of 1 and wish very much to be a stay at home mother! Maybe i can eventually just work part time. I currently work 3 days per week.

I'm a Senior Analyst in Safety Audits and investigations for a major airline. Yep, I never know from one week to the next if I'm still employed. I love what I do though.

I work for a Real Estate Property Management and Investment Company as a...well...JACK OF ALL TRADES. I am officially a Procedures Specialist working with Auditors developing the Sarbanes Oxley Matrices but I have my hands in a little at everything at times. I am currently working towards getting my Real Estate License and then we'll go from there.

In my past life I was a chef working in some of the major hotels and catering companies in downtown Chicago but then my daughter was born and I stayed home with her for 3 years before finally getting the itch to get back to work. My DH works in the hospitality industry as well (that's where we met) and his hours are all over the place so someone had to have the 9-5 job and I got the tail end of the coin. Oh well, Life is FAR from over yet!!

      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.
