Finally had THE meeting with my supervisor today. I am not getting a promotion. In fact I was given 3 options; 1 - stay at my job with no promotion, 2 - apply for a job on another work team and haggle with that manager for a salary increase or 3 - retire. Those are my 3 choices. I have given my heart to that place for 30 years and I get zero respect. Needless to say, my depression is worse. Plus my buddy at work retires on Friday. But I am hanging in there .....not turning to food.
@CindyJNC1963 That's really frustrating to say the least. I quit my last job for that exact reason, I wasn't as "popular" with management even though I was the best worker and knew the most things and management came to me for the answers because I was the only one who'd read our manual.....yet somehow everytime a promotion came up, I was passed over for someone who knew less than me but was more popular. Work shouldn't be a popularity contest and I wasn't willing to sell my soul at the time for an extra dollar, hilariously, now I work from home, make more money and have more free time and less stress, so definitely some things to consider. Maybe you can think of retiring but maybe find a part time job doing what you're doing to earn extra cash? That's probably what I'd look at doing. I think if I was in that situation I wouldn't want to stay at a place that very clearly doesn't value my contributions to the team.
And kudos for not turning to food, that is truly an accomplishment. That is something that I STILL don't manage well when things aren't going my way.
Yes, that's the same with me. I'm not one of the popular kids so I get nothing. There is also some serious age discrimination going on. If I do retire I plan to work part time at least. I'm too young to sit at home all day.
@CindyJNC1963 I'm not too young to stay at home all day, I prefer home. lol. I sit at home all day everyday lol. Well to be fair I do work from home and I workout at home so there's that.1 -

@Gadgetgirl259 I didn't even know I was allergic to poison ivy until I was like 28 or 29, I had made it to that point in my life without getting it and turns out I didn't even know what it looked like and now it lives at the edge of my yard, I spray it often. poison ivy is quite literally one of the worst things I've ever had, probably 3rd only to the near death experience I had with pneumonia and my broken kneecap.
Hang in there, in like a month you'll be good as new (it also takes me around 3-4 weeks to get rid of the rash)0 -

Friday and a long weekend here. Planning on going to the mountains for the weekend depends on what my wife wants to do. Got a cooler that plugs in to my lighter plug so I now have enough food to last me all week. Less tempted to buy bad food in the store then. Have a great day0 -

Ok, so the boys are back in school. I gave myself the summer off. But now I need to be back!
I’ve gained about 7 lbs, that’s one month of work. Today’s been a good day and I’m ready to be back at it!!0 -
💥Daily Post: Friday, 30th August 💥
✅Track: yes
☑️Calories: very slightly over
✅Exercise: loads of walking
Comments: I am struggling. Really really struggling. I can't even face the scales as it feels in my body like j must have put on everything I lost. I was doing so well, and our holiday away just hit me like a tonne of bricks. I've been battling ever since. Today was good, in that I actually tracked everything. And I'm still in calorie deficit even if it's not the goal MFP puts me at. I really need to fight through this though. The summer holidays are such a wanker!

Ha ha.....I should have re-phrased that to, "too young to completely retire without working at all".0 -
