So I started a new job in the same company this week, because the job i was only couldn't offer me enough hours. So from this week on I'm screening applicants for the job of mailmen by phone. Pre-selection so to say. It's again not the most mentally stimulating job in the world, but still, it will look good on my resumé.
The only down side is that I do have to work in evenings and on saturdays. This week I didn't mind, as it was just one night (from 13.00 to 21.15) and four hours on Saturday, but the week after this one i'll have to work two evenings, including Good Friday. I actually wanted to go to church that evening, so I'm pretty bummed I can not go.
To keep my spirits up though, the Elf Fantasy Fair is just in a few days time. Really excited, since this time, Jantje and I have matching costumes. I've almost finished mine and it's going to be rad! Be sure I will post pictures after Sunday!
Apart from that, I am feeling a bit low on the self-acceptance side. In my eyes, all my clothes are horribly old and ugly and in no way fit my humongous belly. The horrible thing is that i have been eating very decently these last few weeks and though some of the weight has gone, i fear it only goes away at the wrong places (imo the chest-area) and that belly remains ever present.
It's bothering me and it annoys me that people tend to give suggestions as "if you want to loose weight, exercise more and watch what you eat!" No shit, Sherlock! Never knew that, thanks! They fail to understand that I might be doing exactly that and that in this way, which is the healthy way, it doesn't go away really fast. I mean, 0.5 kilo a month is hardly recognisable. And than the bowels start to act up again and it's 2, 3, 4 kilos added again in two days.
