Confidence

[Andrea]

I think self-confidence is a benefit of knowing that you have your eating under control whether you are at your goal weight or working your way there. 

I was laid off from my job on January 23rd and laughed with a few friends that at least I'm skinny for my interviewing.  It was a huge relief to have the decision taken out of my hands.  The job was very stressful and my headaches are totally gone now that I am out from under the job requirements.  I have consulting work lined up and look forward to finishing out my career this way.

Never for a moment did I worry that I couldn't make a good first impression.  This forum helped me figure out how to live the FTS way and keeps me on track now.  For that, I am incredibly grateful.

I hate to hear about your layoff Andrea.  It sounds like it was a pretty stressful job though....maybe a silver lining so to speak.  It also sounds like you have landed on your feet    I wish you great success 

You are so right about the confidence....Getting control of one part of your life will migrate into other parts as well

Congratulations Andrea - not on the laying off, but the confidence to forge ahead and find a new beginning.  Sometimes we need to be rattled to make us move on and try new things.

Consulting works sounds like something new and challenging.  Good Luck

The lay-off was a really good thing.  It was too good a job to give up voluntarily but leaving it behind has improved my health dramatically.  The future is bright and I'm loving the view from here.  Stress is a terrible thing, no matter how good I was at handling all the pressure.

You're so right, Andrea!

Two things in life we should never waste is time and our health.
Because if we lose them, they're gone!

I'm so very happy that you're out from under that stress!
