OT- I decided. I'm gonna do it!

After much thought and complication I have decided to take the leap and move from Montana to Washington. I was offered the opportunity to live with my sister while I look for a job. I am a licensed addiction counselor in the state of Washington, but have been doing financial work at a university in Montana. While it is a good job, my heart isn't in it. So I am taking a huge leap of faith and moving to Washington to persue my dream. I gave my notice at work today. I am very stressed and afraid, but I decided that i had this surgery to help me be happier. So now I have to change the rest of the things in my life that are making me unhappy.

I am stressing about health insurance, given that I am only 5 months post op. But I decided I will look into private insurance until I can get a job.

Another bright note is......I have lost...drum roll please....101 pounds in 5 months!!!!! So proud of myself.

WOW, great job on the weight loss! Do you exercise a lot? What kind of exercise do you do? I hope I lose like you!

As for the move, I think going where you can excel and succeed is a great idea. I know I miss my family back home, but hubbies job is just too good to leave right now. So I say, go for it and congrats on your decision to do so!

You go girl!  Many people don't have the guts (or the means) to do what you're doing.  I love that you are.  Sometimes we just need to start over!  Way to go on your weight loss too.

Proud of you! It was the right decision and I'm so glad you were brave enough to take the leap. I see a bright, happy future for you and wish you the best of luck dear.

And Congrats on the weight loss. I bet you feel a whole lot better, healthier, and more active.
Hugs!
