Whether I’ve been successful in this will be put to the test tomorrow! I’m starting a new job! For the last four years I’ve worked with the same people and for the first 2 years I hardly spoke, they thought me weird :( But something happened (it might have something to do with getting drunk at the xmas party!)and I started speaking and the people weren’t that scary anymore, I enjoyed going to work and they in the end they couldn’t shut me up!
The new job came around quickly, so there hasn’t been time to think about it but I’m going to miss my team, I feel comfortable with them, they are like extended family. I just hope I can feel as comfortable with this new team as I do now so that I can be myself. I know that I wouldn’t have tried for this job 2 years ago because of a lack of confidence and being just too scared, I just hope its me thats changed and its not the people around me that make the difference.

I’ve had ‘lose 20 pounds’ as a goal for a while, but it seems like such a mammoth task that I usually fall at the first hurdle, when attempting to take it on. So I’m going to take little steps and try to lose 7 pounds, then another and another, until I reach my goal weight or until I level out and find my ideal weight. I live in hope!
