Cool I got my 1st JOB!
Thanks to Atkins and this great board filled with support, I took the plunge and got my first job. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 8 years (straight out of highschool) so that was all I knew. Being overweight I really didn't have the self esteem, courage or the desire to go and get a job. Now, I have a job, part-time; but still. I'm working and making a bit of my own money. It feels good so far, I just can't wait to learn the computer systems fully so I can be more at ease and less anxious.

I feel alot better with myself with this weight loss and even though I still have a ways to go I already feel like a different person.

Congrats on the new job! I know how you feel except the other way around, haha. I'm looking forward to the day when I can be a stay at home mom, LOL.

I'm glad that you feel good about yourself. This WOL is such a morality/self esteem booster! Congrats again!
