Just wanted to post my thoughts on this thing that happened in my life yesterday!!  Got a call from my manager and my manager's manager, and they told me that our plant was closing at the end of this year.  Yeah, I know, add this to the list of all the other plants closing!!  But, you don't understand . . . this wasn't suppossed to happen to our plant!!  Right!!  Anyway, I've got several months and I'm pretty marketable with my job skills, plus I'll get a nice severance package if I choose to stay.  Anyway, things will work out.  But what I really wanted to say is that I'm glad I've started my transformation and have made some progress, because, believe it or not, I think my self-esteem is better since I've been working out, and I probably would have handled it worse had I been still in my old lifestyle (sedentary and no hope of loosing weight or worrying over my blood-sugar levels.)  Anyway, don't want any sympathy, because a lot of people are in this condition, and I'm just worried about the other people at the plant that can't find a job quickly.  Just wanted to record my thoughts!

 Oh, I just thought of this, had I not been in my current healthy state of mind and body, I know I would have benged out on junk food!  And I'm proud to say that I thought about purchasing a Wendy's double at 11:00 last night when I was out driving trying to clear my mind, but I opted for decaf coffee instead!!  Aren't you proud of me?!!
