my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Determination and believing in myself. Don't wait for someone else to help you; help yourself.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I think more about retirement and travel now. I see myself getting lazy and need to change that.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Getting ready for retirement and to work on myself. Giving more time to me and my family instead of a job. I deserve it.

Hang in there. You will do more than you ever expected of yourself. Things will get rough, you will make some hard decisions, maybe bad ones, but you will survive. And there are people that do love you believe it or not.

my role models

My 95 yo mother-in-law in regard to her handling pain. She just doesn't let it get her down. She has so many friends because of her good spirit. I wish I had that.

i'm still looking. Maybe I will find a few being on this site. I hope so.

"Hello FiftyPlusTwo: Don't despair. I lost 20 on Jenny but I cheated so I know I could have done better. And it is expensive. You just have to know that you are not going to look or feel the same way you did when you were 20 or 30 years old. The firs..." (read comment)

"I don't want to sound negative since more fiber in the diet does help you loose weight. Let me start there. But as a woman who needs to lose more than 5lbs, more than 10, even more than 40, I find it irritating when someone says, "oh it is just so ha..." (read comment)

"Count me in. You have some good thoughts. I agree to the conference format but then adjourn to more relaxing settings to meet and greet and of course eat. There is way too much food. If you do bring a spouse, there would plenty for that person to do ..." (read comment)
