When you start new you generally accept where you are and approach with optimism the new endeavor. Maybe we should all start fresh every month, every week, every day... I think fresh starts are nice.

I'm pretty much tied to my company for now because of that too - anywhere else I'll be the low guy on the totem pole.

What seems to work for me is big breakfast, smaller lunch, and two small meals in the evening - early (4ish) and later - 8-ish). My downfall is that if I am in my house all evening I snack too, which adds up. Which is one very good reason that I need to add the the long walks back into the evening routine. I don't know if imagining walks helps - I know imagining working out with weights is not having the desired effect so far, but I remain hopeful!

I find if I am near my kitchen I will eat frequently out of habit or boredom but if I am not i don't have that impulse or need, so I think it's not my preference. If I eat real meals with enough food I go hours without thinking about eating again. Good for you for standing up for your beliefs and not being bullied at work hmmm interesting w the grazing - do you ENJOY eating this way or do you do it out of habit?

Even the smart kids go crazy...my son was in the gifted program from Gr 6, ended up in Gr 12 watching his friend get stabbed on the beach while dealing, and then was all insulted when I asked him what the hell he was expecting to happen, under the circumstances. My other son also in the gifted program, was at high risk for lots of bad things (long, scary story) and got turned around by a caring VP at his third high school, ended up valedictorian and is now working on his masters. And he had a smart, loving mom...never doubt you are having an impact, but also make the right choices for your health, safety, and future. (PS, he was a charmer at 15, he spit on me too, and then had the doctor call in CAS...) They have both grown into wonderful young me and I am so proud....but back then....

I loved this - too funny : "My new conclusion is that if no one spits on me, then I am living the dream. Hey, if you lower the bar enough…." Although I really hope that your days are going somewhat better than 'no one spit on me'!!!

On the other hand, it really sounded like you were making great progress for the school in other posts. It's sad and horrible and risking your life is not (or should not be) a job requirement and it sounds like you are getting to know the police WAY too well. On the blood test; they probably should test you now and repeat it in a few months. Fingers crossed; good luck. Hmmmmm…….I think overall it’s a good thing you are getting out of there.
