An Update on My Happenings...

Sep 16, 2009

Well, Here I am. Monday the 14th was 8 weeks since my surgery. I'm down 27 pounds and I've lost 20.5 total inches. It feels great. The scale seems to be stuck though, because I'm not losing anything right now, and it's getting frustrating. They say that stress impedes weight loss--well then if that's the case, I guess I'm glad I've lost what I have so far.

I love my job. I love the company I work for. I hate my boss. He is a narcisistic bully who is never wrong and makes things he is wrong about someone else's fault. It's not fair. I've NEVER had a problem with a boss or supervisor ever. I've been here for 2 years, and it's been 2 years of hell. I'd finally had enough, and on September 3, I gave my 2 week notice. Since then, it's gotten worse. Our firm has a "No Retaliation" policy. Well, I guess my boss missed that training because he is retaliating like crazy. I was told to turn him in to HR. I wasn't going to, but now I've decided I am going to. He had me and another lady working for him. Most branches have one advisor and one administrator. Busy offices get 2 administrators. Me and the other administrator are both leaving. My last day is tomorrow and her's is next Friday. I have HR, the regional leader and the home office all involved, because the way my boss treats people, especially women, is wrong. I've never done anything like this before. Quit a job before having a new one (except for when I've had to move out of state), turned in a boss for bad conduct or yelled at any of my bosses. Well, now I've done them all. So, yes, I've been somewhat stressed.

I interviewed with 3 companies. I accepted a position with one of them, and they are here in town. Keeping the name hush hush until I actually start there, for fear that if it leaks out, and my current boss hears of it, he could try to mess it up for me--he is the type to do that. He tried to mess up the other administrator's transfer to another branch in another state, all because HE paid for her training, and now she's just leaving. This is how this jerk thinks! It's all about him. Anyway, my first day with them is on Monday, the 21st.

So, tomorrow is my last day, and I am going to confront him to tell him exactly what I think of him and his managerial style and how miserable he is and how miserable he makes others. Then I will walk out and never look back. As of tomorrow afternoon, I will only be looking forward. Looking forward to my new job, my health, my weight loss.

With the exception of Labor Day Weekend, I have been very good with my diet. Lots of high protein foods, lots of water, and not drinking while I eat. I've been exercising as much as I can and as much as my tired body will allow. Lately I've just crashed on the couch in the evening to watch TV and that's where I wake up in the morning too. So not sleeping that great either. I am ready to get back on track with everything. I respect myself and my band, and from now on, if others can't respect me, they don't need to be in my life.

I am so thankful to all of my friends here at OH. You are all wonderful and I appreciate each and every one of you. If it weren't for you, I'd be dodging a lot of my accountability and probably wouldn't be as successful as I have been with my weight loss.
