OT, I am retiring !!!!
Hello my light weight friends.
I have been sick of my job for about 3 yrs, but thought I had to work another 6 yrs. BUT I don't. I got so disgusted a few weeks ago I set up apts with our HR dept, and my financial planner. To my BIG SURPRISE, I can afford to retire NOW. So my last day of work is 6/29. I am so excited I can hardly see straight. If I hadn't gotten so upset about work I wouldn't have even checked into possible retirement, God works in misterious ways sometime!!!
Now an update on my WL. I am one yr and one month out from WL surg and maintaining a 100 lb loss without much difficulty. I hover from 138-142, am 5'5 1/2", wearing mostly size 6s from size 22W. I went from the fattest in the office to the thinest. Life is good all the way around.
You newbies hang in there and follow your plan.

Thank you...
Not sure what all I will get into, but I am thinking that I will get back to daily workouts, I quit working out about 2 months ago. Also I love playing duplicate bridge, and there are games here everyday, so I may play everyday!! I plan to cook more often, and start back reading. Will probably travel to see some family early on. Not sure from there...hope to find enough varied, interesting, and fun things to do to keep me stimulated and happy, just hope it is not too much of an adjustment period.
Thanks for asking!

Hurray, hurray. I call this my retirement job because I can pretty much set my own hours but it is still work lots of the time.
And your 100lbs gone forever, I'm right behind you. Hope to be there soon.
