I GOT MY APPROVAL CALL TODAY!!!!!!!  After I got the call, I went to tell my "co worker", office manager. (She has been cheering me along) or so I thought. Anyways she said congratulations then she said "I am going to be so mad if you get below a size 18 and get smaller than me", "now I will be the fattest person in the office" All I could do is smile and told her to "get ready for it"--

 

My scheduled date is for 05/15  so  yall scoot on over and make room for me on the bench!!! I am so excited. I can't wait to have stories like NIKKi'S!!!

Congratulations on getting your approval call! That's fantastic!!

Don't let your coworker bother you. She's obviously jealous,  and completely lacking in tact.

You're going to do great!!

That's a great attitude to have! I'm afraid I would have let my temper get away from me with a comment like that, but that's a really good way to handle it. I could learn a thing or two from you! ;)

That is so exciting!  I'm glad you put on your thick skin and not allow your colleague to put a damper on your joy. My doctor told me to be aware of jealousy cropping up in the strangest places!  Good luck on your journey!  I can't wait for my date!

One of my favorite sayings that I like to tell people is "jealousy don't look good on you!"  They usually end up laughing!
