A few months ago I applied for a position here at my job. Technically I'm overqualified for the position, but I wanted it anyway. Today I checked my application status that stated I didn't meet the education requirements for the position. For a split second I was really pissed off. Actually, I'm still kinda pissed off about it. However, I refuse to let it destroy me. I have learned from personal experience that if you don't get something it really isn't meant to be. My goal for the day is to remember that there must be something better for me coming along. This setback will not define who I am and what I want in life. I will succeed. I will be triumphant in all that I do.
I haven't stepped on the scale in awhile. Not because I don't want to know what I weigh, but I think I was becoming obsessed with it. So I am going to do a once a month weigh in. Everyday or every week is driving me batty. Trust me when I tell you, I can not afford to lose any more brain cells.
On the band front...no big changes. I am being extremely careful since my stuck episode on Sunday. If I feel that something is a little dry and may cause complications I take it right out of my mouth. Chew Chew Chew is my new motto.

What an inspiring way to look at the position. I completely understand taking a step back from the scale if you feel it's unhealthy for you mentally. Also - congrats on your new motto!
Just keep, chewing...just keep chewing. I'm like Dory from "Finding Nemo" myself. Good job on the scale. If you read my blog from today, you'll see the issues I am having. I am a slave to the mf-ing scale.
LOL, I love the Dory comparison by Stephanie! I agree that we do get way to involved with the scale and I admire your ability to only weigh once a month. Keep chewing!
Something better is headed your way!
You have a great attitude!
What a positive outlook! I've been trying to take a very "zen" approach to things lately too. As for the scale...weekly seems to be working for me. I don't obsess too much that way. Whatever works for you...do it!
