Sushi is the type of food that you either love or hate. There's no in between.

I'm kinda in between :freak:

I enjoyed it but I dont' think i'd ever crave it. If a friend really wanted to go I'd go back. But I've only had it the one time so maybe I'll grow to love it.

I actually lost 50 lbs between summer '05 and late winter '06. Unfortunately, I think it was helped along by the fact that I had diabetes and didn't know it. :( And after going on insulin, it caused a 25-30 lb weight gain. :down: My doctors told me that often with good blood sugar control unfortunately comes a bit of weight gain. But I've lost 10 lbs of it so far. :up:

Yikes! Good thing you caught it when you did. And that's great that you're already losing some of it!

Nobody should take a crap job, unless they have to, I'd never disagree with that premise. I just feel that if you've agreed to an interview, and nobody put a gun to your head to go on the interview, that you do yourself a disservice if you don't take it seriously, for myriad reasons. I'll shut up now, because I don't want to seem unsupportive of you VP, because you know that I am. Or so I hope.

It's all good. :)

As you know, DG, weight loss for no good reason is one of the symptoms of Diabetes, so that does account for some of your loss. Once you get your blood sugars to where they should be, and get into a nutritional routine, it gets easier to lose weight again...but between that, and the initial loss of weight, you do tend to put some back. Keep up the good work!!!

From mid-February to late March(when I was dxd) last year I lost 20 lbs in that span of time. :ohmy: Everyone thought I had an eating disorder or something.

I'm finally starting to see the good work pay off in the past 2 months or so. :up:

And thanks. :)

You know what, VP? thank you. I really needed to hear that. I'm gonna stop applying for these crap jobs. I've worked my ass off to get this degree, and I didn't go through all the blood sweat and tears so I can get another lousy job, I'm in it to reach my dreams!

You totally inspired me today :) I owe you one.

I'm glad. :) I think that many people tend to undervalue themselves, especially coming out of school.

Long story short (NSW knows the full version), I was recently invited to apply for a position that I felt vastly underqualified for, as far as experience goes. The lady who works for the organization and who invited me to apply obviously thinks that my application won't be a waste of their time, that I've got a chance. I've talked to several people since then, including my advisor and people in the field who know me and my skills, and they're all confident that I can do it. The only one not confident was me. So...I learned something, and I'm now reaching a little higher than I would have a few weeks back.

You've worked damn hard for your education. don't sell yourself short. :up:

NSW knows!!! :)

Now that is a post I can agree with. Don't sell yourselves short. Let someone else determine if you're underqualified, don't do it to yourself...because you never know who will see something in you that you maybe take for gratned or do not realize you even have. In some respects, we're our own worst judges, for good and bad traits.
 
aaand we have the next title for the bar, peoples
