I'm trying to be more positive these days but I seem like I'm up against so much. It's 6 month review time at work and I was pulled in for mine on Monday. All in all, I received a lot of positive comments. My bosses love the work I'm doing with the donors and they couldn't praise my writing enough...when I asked to perhaps do some courses to help

That's awesome, well done! I'm trying to lose about 60lbs too, except I only started a couple of weeks ago and I'm only down about 5/6lbs so far. So just be glad that you're way ahead of me!

I know how you feel... I just wish that things weren't so hard right now. But at least you've got a job, and no matter how shit it is, you and Jon have some sort of financial stability. I've come to realise that that's the most comforting thing - there's nothing worse than honestly not knowing if you're going to be able to pay the bills next month. We're kind of keeping our heads above the water, but we really need to do something drastic and get out of here as soon as possible.

And don't be down - I'm sure that if a promotion doesn't come your way soon, then there'll be something better out there for you. Chin up... etc!

lol...I'm probably going to gain this week because I just ate loads of crap. Ah well...life happens. I'm slowly discovering it's better to have the weight come off slowly anyway...because you can still eat the occasional tasty thing :D

Chin up to you too! I have to figure that things have to get better for us at some point! As for financial stability...we just dropped $1,600 (*gulp*) on plane fares...things are going to be tight, lol. Who said all you need is love???

I didn't lose any weight this week because I was stupid and I got all cocky thinking that maybe I didn't have to be that careful with what I ate since last week I did badly but still lost 3lbs... but of course, it doesn't work like that. And now I just feel pathetic for having wasted a week when I could have potentially been three pounds lighter again, and into a new weight territory! :(

Man, it sucks about having to spend that much on plane fares. I just read the other day about how fares are going to get significantly higher, too... which is really depressing when you know that either your family or your husband's family is going to get stroppy unless you go there for Christmas or whatever. ARGH!

I think both sides of the family should just have a bidding war to decide which family we visit (and the winning side pays for everything, of course). That would be sweet!
