Maybe you can consider an alternative to a high pressure job. So many people get off the speeding career train and try to regain their life. I don't know all of the details, but maybe a bit of counseling will help you figure out what is going on.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Vicki, Thanks for sharing. I have heard one radio talk show person here in the DFW area bashing the weight loss surgeries because he sees it as the easy way out. It is not and has never been the easy way out for me. I suspect that is true for most of us. What so many people don't realize is that the cravings are still there. Then brain did not get an attitude adjustment. As far as the job hunt goes, I so completely understand. There have been times in the last 20 years where it took me 12 to 14 months to find a job. I was gratiful for anything I could get in the mean time. I did a lot of temp jobs just to make ends meet. Hope all goes well. Lori Owen - Denton, Texas SRVG 7/16/01 Dr. Ritter/Dr. Bryce 479/335/???
