4 weeks, 6 days till Home!!!!!
-OP: yes
-activity: yes
Oh it was definitely a Guinness day today, I only wish I could have a second and get pleasantly buzzed, but as tired as I am it would be a waste, really. Work was stressful again, but not necessarily bad. There are people in the store from other locations in the district to help us with the move, and some of them are extremely unpleasant to be around. One person in particular makes me want to rip her face off, and after one run in today(I've mostly been avoiding having to interact with her the way people avoid rabid squirrels) I was in such a foul mood that the store manager noticed me in the midst of all his busyness and pulled me aside for a chat, he more or less said I looked like a thundercloud. He was supportive, which is good, because if he had handled it differently it would have been like dropping a bottle of nitro. With respect and consideration he listened to my beef, and told me that I needed to calm down and get into a positive mindframe because we had just opened our new store and we had customers to think of. If he had done it any differently I would have been even more furious, but he did very well, I didn't feel I was being called out, and I was able to calm down. If he keeps up, I think he could do very well as a GM. I eventually went on break and ate; I planned to go immediately on his "recommendation" (read orders) but that person was in the lunch room so the floor was the best place for me to calm down. They had ordered stuff for sandwiches, plus fruits and veggies again, which I like best. I'd brought lasanga, and I ate their freggies with it. Heck, I even drank their water. I eat so little fruit that grapes, strawberries and melon taste soo sweet to me now. I had a conversation in the lunch room with coworkers about vegeables, and it was so nice to sit there and talk freely about things I eat. I was always so ashamed before, but now I am proud that I eat well, I'm not afraid that anyone will put me down. Tons of people at work the last week or so have been commenting on my weight loss, it's been surprising and really nice. I've been getting lots of comments like "keep getting smaller and smaller", "carrots for lunch? no wonder you're wasting away!", "you've lost so much!", "everytime I see you, you're skinnier", and "hey, it's the thin girl!". F is definitely right, having people see you outside of your work uniform makes a big difference! Okay, time for me to eat and get to bed, been a loooong day (week) and I put in 50 min on the elliptical tonight. Bed is going to be heaven!
