What defines you?

I lost my job recently and one of my now former co-workers told me that I should not let that define me. A good point. So I thought about what does define me. How I treat my wife and sons. How I treat other people including strangers that I come across in the course of a day. How I handle losing my job.
I do my best to be positive in all of these things. That has translated into also being positive about my time spent on MFP and my journey to change my lifestyle to one focused on eating right, exercising and getting to my goal weight.
So I said all that so I can say this- What defines YOU?

Probably my "transferable skills".
And hobbies/sports ... the things I want to do.0 -
Sounds to me like you have it together and you're on the right path with a healthy outlook.
A job doesn't define a person. If it does than that person would be one dimensional.
My family defines me.
