I'm a health insurance broker but my job consists mostly of administrative work. It's not my preferred career, by a long road, but hey something has to pay the bills.

I used to be the executive director of a major professional writers' organization. THAT was fun. ;)

I'm a full time student, and I work part time at NIATEC, National Information Assurance Training and Education Center, one of the centers of excellence designated by the NSA, for my student job/scolarship.

My summer internship starts Monday at a very large Bank in their Windows security architecture group. Heh, I turned down an internship at MS this summer because I figured that being called back to the bank was better for my resume. Also, the Bank has one of THE largest networks in the world, and working on archetureal issues there will also be impressive. But being at MS again sure would be fun. ...

Megan I may have to get with you. Loved your web site. I do a lot of woodworking on the side and have often thought of taking what I build to Market. I think it's a niche market.

I am an Administrative Assistant to a lady that is never here, so I very seldom have anything to do, the days are long here, so therefore I am hooked on this site. So I guess its an okay job, I get paid very well, get an insurance allowance of $400 a month, and best of all when I take time off, she never-ever docks my pay. And believe me with three kids, I take a lot of time off. Just last week I was off two days on a school field trip and tomorrow I'm off half a day, its survivor day at my daughters school, so we are doing that. And since my boss leaves on vacation tomorrow, I guess the next two weeks will be even quieter..... I worked for a real estate attorney before this job, but after my son was born I stayed home with him and my one year old daughter (yep, there one right after the other). After a year of that, I decided to come back to work, my husband thinks I need to go back to my field as a real estate closer or go to a title company and do that because i could be making lots more money, but I would rather stay here and be so available to my kids than go to a job, I'm going to have to quit because I can't take the time for them. So I truly do have a nice job, my boss is awesome and I make good money, so what more can I ask for, right??? Who else is going to let me take all that time off and let me run to pick up my daughter from school everyday and take her and my other daughter to dance and all that stuff I have to do....

I too have dreams of going back to school to finish getting my degree in elementary education, but my kids are so little 3, 4 and 9 and require so much time right now, that its on the back burner...Someday, I will finish my degree..

I am a bill collector. I spend my entire day telling people their house is being foreclosed on. I have my own personalized set of brass knuckles...hehehe Crappy job, but pay is so awesome I am paying my own way through college to become a High school counselor. When I graduate I will never look back except to be sad at my pay difference, and hopefully erase some of the bad memories from this place. Oh the jobs we have to do to get where we want in life....

Wow

Your all so amazing!

I am disabled. They deemed me disabled for the last 6 yrs but I have only been on the SSI for less than a year.

I paid for my lapband with my SSI back pay.

BUT I am not a total loser..

I had three kids by age 20

I went from 135 pounds to 330 pounds from age 15 to 20

And I still managed to do the below.. on my own for the most part.

I graduated in the top 10% of my HS

I got a AA degreee in general ed

I got a BS degree in Psy

I am one math class from a Accosiate of science in Criminology

I am 8 practicum credits from A Child and family Studies degree.

I have been a Rape Crisis counselor

A preschool teacher

I did Special needs day care

I got foster home certification, had one kid for 3 yrs and one for two now.

I want to get my masters degree

I want to open a teen parent transitional living home.

Thats my biggest goal, I dont need a masters to do it but I feel I really need to get back into the schooling... refresh.. take the proposal and technical writing classes over again// lol

Before i knew I could get any kind of WLS..

I had resigned my self to moving to the coast (on housing assistance) and selling crafts along the oregon coast at little fairs and markets and events.

NO way.. Maybe when i am an old granny I will do that!

lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
