Rough day yesterday. But that was the only one of my week so far, so that's actually not bothering me, that much.
Stress. Need I say more? I actually let it give me such a headache, that six excederin tension headache tablets didn't work. Ugh, it kept me up until 3am last night, then I took three more and went to bed. Thank god I didn't wake up with that whopper. That sucks when you wake up with a headache from a previous day.
I guess I am really stressed out because I am having a difficult time finding a J.O.B. Such a dirty little word. I am not having a problem finding any retail jobs, but I am so tired of doing retail, well big box retail. And a few of the interviews that I have gone on, I really feel like I was "looked" at oddly because of my weight. That is so frustraiting. Plus I don't have my degree yet, so I am under qualified, but over qualfied for other jobs because of the military. I want to pull my hair out! :mad:
Anyway...this whole thing has just stressed me out, and I would like nothing more then to eat a tub of ice cream. But I won't, I will just keep going on and looking and stressing and trying my darndest to lose this weight.:ohwell:

I feel your pain. Everyone around me including my husband are al looking for a job, anything that pays more than minimum wage. Most people i know have at least an associates degree and still cant find a job and trying to further their education has taken a backseat because of all the increase prices. My husband and I have started our own business doing financaing. We help people get out of debt and save for retirement, you wont believe how many people need help. Have your tried to look into starting your own business part time while you are still doing retail that way you can build up your business and when you are at a good point you can quite the retail business and focus on your buisness full time. I live in Rochester NY so I dont know of any jobs in florida but best of luck and something will be availble soon.0

That is really tough. Looking for a job is the toughest job there is. And it's true people, even overweight people, equate being overweight with being lazy. Just know that you are on the right path and don't deviate. You will get healthy, and you will get a great job. Both just take patience and perseverence. Just stay on track and be kind to yourself.0

Ugh, I totally feel your pain =o/
My hubby looked for a job for a solid YEAR. Finally he got something the other day (thank God!!) it was the SAME day as his LAST unemployment check.
BUT it's not his dream job that's for sure! It's a dirty, smelly job...BUT it's something. And around here (we're in a very tiny fishing community) that's pretty good.
He's still applying everywhere though, trying to get something else....even if it's in the city...where we SO don't want to move. BLAH!0 -
The right job will come along! (I know, easy for someone else to say...) Hang in there. I HATE job hunting, so I sympathize.0
