The Blog is Always the First thing to Go
So, it’s no secret that I haven’t been blogging, but life has been hellishly busy and this is the first moment I have really even felt like it.
I quit my job at the bank. “WHAAA?” you say? Well, I don’t know what the hell got into me, but I went to my first real day on the job and had panic attack after panic attack. I cried my whole lunch break and just felt like there was no way I could do this job. I made it through the day, walked over to the parking garage where I was hit in the head with the arm thingy, and then made my way to the door that led to my car. It was locked!!! So, because I couldn’t get in that way, I didn’t have the same reference point and therefore couldn’t find my car. Once I did finally find it after 10 minutes of wandering around, I promptly threw up and my head throbbed. Once I made it home, I was so miserable that I took 4 Advil and went to bed with a trashcan nearby.
All the next day, a day off thankfully, I agonized over quitting. I knew I couldn’t go back, but I needed to have the job and I had already invested a lot of time in training and a lot of money in shoes and clothes. After crying almost all day, I decided to give something a shot. I called my favorite counselor at LA Weight Loss and asked her what the possibility would be of me working there. She said I could come in the following day for an interview. I convinced Matt to let me quit the job at the bank and hoped upon hope that I would get the job at LAWL.
I went in and handed Jenny my resume and she looked it over briefly, made a phone call and offered me the job!!! I am now through training and am working at Jenny’s center as a weight loss counselor and loving it. I really, finally feel as if I actually make a difference and that people who sit with me feel like they are really getting something out of it.
Another great perk is that I get a great discount on supplements and all the other stuff they offer, so now I can afford to use some of the things I had been avoiding.
I also, now, have no excuse to not stick to my diet. I would feel like a total hypocrite telling people what they should do if I can’t do it myself.
Big sigh of relief!
