rbudding Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I have finally got a couple things going my way and it feels absolutely fantastic! I have had a difficult couple of years battling depression and I think I may be getting things figured out. I was going through what essentially amounted to a full career change but my lack of experience in the field made things incredibly difficult. I kept revising my job application and after sending out probably 50 applications I finally got a call back for an interview. I must have taken care of business in the interviews because I GOT THE JOB!!! I will finally be using my degree and getting paid for it too! Huge step in the right direction. On top of that I recently weighed myself and I have hit 26 pounds of weight loss since August. This is over halfway to my goal of 43 pounds. I did this by cutting out alcohol. It has been 109 full days without a drop of alcohol, and 379 days since I had my last cigarette. Major life improvements there. Clearly things are heading in the right direction. I am excited to keep this momentum rolling and see where it takes me. WOOT WOOT!! 1 Quote "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." --Bruce Lee Link to comment

rbudding Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I have a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science. My intention all along was to become a veterinarian though, so I went to vet school for two years before deciding it wasn't for me. It was very difficult going from the veterinary field where I had thousands of hours of experience to the environmental field where I didn't have nearly as much. But it looks like I finally made it. Thanks for the support!! Quote "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." --Bruce Lee Link to comment

TheRealBlackWidow Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Woohoo for good jobs and weight loss! Also, congratulations on the no alcohol and no smoking! That's really hard. Seems like you are doing really well! Great job! Quote "Nothing lasts forever." ~Natasha Romanoff~ "Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was. So will it always be. In time all foul things come forth." ~Thranduil~ "No matter who we are, no matter what our circumstances, our feelings and emotions are universal. And music has always been a great way to make people aware of that connection. It can help you open up a part of yourself and express feelings you didn't know you were feeling. It's risky to let that happen. But it's a risk you have to take-- because only then will you find you're not alone." ~Josh Groban~ "Those who are the happiest, never did have everything. But rather they are thankful for everything they do have." ~Anonymous~ Link to comment
