Back to my hire date weight

I passed the physical test (sit-ups, push-ups, sit and reach and 1.5 mile run) at 290 lbs. That was four and a half years ago. After gaining 85 pounds in that time, I am finally back to that area. It is weird that I felt as if I had decieved my department because I was not who they hired. Anyway, I'm back to my hire weight which makes me feel better about the job. Also, it will feel nice not to hear "fat F*ck" yelled from the back of the dorm everytime I walk in. Take care all, Scott

Way to go Scott! I weighed 250 when I started in corrections and am now down to 176. The only thing is they come up with other creative things to call you I am no longer fat *ss b*tch. I won't post my new nick name it is much worse!!! Even worse I have now noticed that the convicts are checking me out eeeeewwwww which is something they did not do when I weighed three hundred pounds! Tara 296/176/150ish

Boy, I really hope they don't start checking me out! Then I am in trouble. I can't wait for the new nickname but it will have to be better than the fat ones. Take care Scott

I found that they checked me out more when I was bigger. And they never called me names, even though I heard a "moo" every now and again. Maybe they thought that I had low self-esteem when I was bigger, hence the more attention. Ever since my weight loss, I've had no problems what so ever. Could be also that my DH works there, too and they are scared of him. Who knows. I won't worry about it ever again because I resigned last week after 12 years. yay, me. I finally E.O.S'd Gisela

Congrats on your loss. Sure makes the job easier. I will have a busy weekend also. Two doubles in a row and then 4 next weekend. Can't wait for summer vacations to end. Take care Scott

Nice to find this board, I am new and just starting the process into WLS with Kaiser. Good luck and congrats to all of you. I know how much better you must feel going to work knowing you can respond and actually help in the event of an emergency.
