I have been told I will be getting a job offer next week. It is only for 6-9 months and I will have to give up one of my two jobs. It is well paid and in my field so both jobs will be in my field if this all goes through but neither steady. I will make more than I have been making this past year so it should give me time and experience to get the next position. So it will be harder to get on here but I am determined to lose weight in the next 6 months. Hope to work my you know what off in every sense of the word.
