Default As you get closer to "goal"

Hey guys,Some of you know I am job hunting
Well,I have some interviews this week comming up.I went to my closet and was trying on "interview " style clothes and Im shocked...My 8's don't fit right.They all look "low rise" and they are not.

I have not lost any weight but the inches are still comming off...I guess.


Sooooooo my Best friend....."Ann Taylor" Called me and we went shopping.

Holy smokes I'm in a 6 now.

I guess the main reason for this post is to say...when you think you have stopped losing weight..WAIT...hold off on buying the new wardrobe....your body keeps changing.

I will keep you all posted on the job hunt.

I guess in Ca you will relate to this also.....Here in Fl...its so casual...no one wears suits...only bathing suits...I don't want to look stuffy..but sheeesh...took a while to find something semi-dressy casual.

Oh yeah I bought some hooker shoes*anything with a heal*Again,What was I thinking,but I can't wear flip flops to these interviews.

Wish me luck~

Default You look great!

I agree, your right foot.

Good luck! Oh - and you can ask anything about salary in an interview, it is never rude. Laughing and falling off your chair and hobbling to the door when they tell you how little they pay, that can be considered rude.

I am sure you'll find something great!

And I sure couldn't wear that to an interview in NY! (Of course, I couldn't wear that at all, unless I only had to dress one leg...)

When do we every trully get "goal"? After the weight goal is met, then there's the post-op PS goals to meet...that will change your waredrobe too!

Congrats on the interview...you look great and I didn't think it was too casual. Maybe up north it would be, butit also depends on what type of job you're interviewing for.
