    I am a Licensed Psychotherapist and I work with mental health and substance abuse clients. I have to act like I have it all together at work but I am truly a "Physician Heal Thyself" kinda person. I am home by 1:30pm every day and all I do is scarf down high fat, high calorie foods, grab my kindle, go to bed and read until I fall asleep for 2-3 hours. I am tired of being a lazy fat *kitten* and that is why I am here!!!

    Buyer for an Aerospace Corporation. I am in and out of my seat all day which is a good thing. I also have two young children at home and I am single so I am on the move quite often picking up after everyone or getting us out the door in the morning.

    I have many bosses....no fun

    I have to be there by 730 and I leave at 4pm. I get up at 4:30am, have a little bit of time for me and then the fun begins, wake up the girls and move it...to get there by 730

    I'm a desk jockey too. I'm an ethical hacker (I get paid to hack into computer systems and tell the owners how I did it so they can fix the problems). I pretty much sit at a desk in front of a computer all day so making sure I get to the gym before work, on my lunch hour or in the evening is critical. I work out 6 days a week.

    I have my own weaving business at home. Try to do it most of the time with a 3 + 4 year old at home while my 7 + 9 year old are at school. Nice to be my own boss, but hard sometimes.

    What do I do....well, I used to be a classroom teacher and moved around all day! On the down side of that, I had no time to eat right and exercise. Now, I'm a program manager at a university and sit a lot, but have much more time to plan food and focus on my exercises!

    I've just gotten a new job working at a Solicitors (Lawyers) office doing Accounting and Finance. Hopefully I'll settle in quickly cause it's a nice small team. Hoping the routine will help my weightloss as well as I've been out of work for a couple of months.

    My ideal job though would be working with chimpanzees/gorillas/sloths in a wildlife sanctuary so I'm hoping to be using this desk job to fund part time degree study in animal welfare/wildlife conservation.

    I have a home office, so I am sitting a lot, but I also have my 1 year old home with me. The office is right off of the kitchen, so it's hard not to get tempted.
