Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Mitch - I'm sorry you didn't get the job but I'm very impressed with your attitude... You've come so far in this journey of weight loss and life itself, and it's easy for me (on the outside looking in!!) to see that the job wasn't necessarily the prize this time. The prize -- the one you WON!! -- is your recognizing that by even trying for the job you're indeed a winner. You're courageous and you've discovered strength you didn't know you have! It's THEIR loss!!!!! YOU are a winner. Bette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
