redgirl1974's Journal, 31 August 2016

so my meeting at work didnt go that bad as planned and my boss just kinda forgot about my whining on Friday but I had my annual review and since I have only been with my new boss a few weeks, they had my old boss do it and it she tried to screw me outta my merit raise by saying I had just gotten a raise in May. Welp in May when she gave me the raise (it was for level II training) she assured me it wouldnt effect my merit and some how she forgot that. I reminded her of that and my new boss even stepped in and I got my whole .46 cents raise.. Hey is 40 bucks every two weeks right? It wasnt even about the money more the principle. Anyhoo, our team lead is a vicious troll who has it out for me and loves to call out my mistakes and does so on a regular basis. I was so frustrated yesterday, I had to get up and go to the ladies and cry it out.Then she realized she was being way to hard on me. I sat down with my boss and basically said, I need to slow it down a bit and I need more training. I was kinda thrown in and Im making careless mistakes.. Anyway after another shitty day at work, I went out and bought me 2 new dresses. I was just glad I didnt hit the McD's on the way home. I know this doesnt have alot to do with diet but my mental state really effects my eating so I deemed it somewhat relevant and I kinda just wanted to vent. So thank you for letting me vent here. I did have a piece of sweetbread but I logged it and Im not looking back.
SO, here's to letting yesterday go and concentrating on being the best version of me that I can be today. I will not let them get me down. I will focus. I will be the rock star I know I am. I will not use food as a crutch when I have a bad day. I will eat healthy snacks that make me feel good. I will believe in myself today. I will take the good with the bad and learn from my mistake. I will love myself. I WILL LOVE MYSELF....

It took me years to learn to love myself...and I had very good role models and my mother always told us about self worth etc...but sometimes you get stuck in your head...anyway...have a great day! LOVE YOURSELF!

Of course it has a lot to do with your diet. On top of the stress eating (I'm good at that) stress increases cortisol in your system which makes losing the fat harder. Hang in there, you're working so hard on what look to me like two fronts--your job and your diet. Not easy.

Picky, unkind bosses are the worst. Someone ought to teach them that that's not the way to get the best out of people. I work much more productively for the kind ones! And I'm a happier camper when people are nice to me. Duh! Why is management allowed to get away with being trolls!

so the main boss is a sweetheart.. the team lead is the one on my back. After she let me have it she knew it hit hard and she tried to say this is for your own good and what doesnt break you make you and teamwork makes the dream work .. she really said.. I agree, I respond better to positive coaching but you know what? This just make me what to work even harder.. and I will work my ass off to show her I got what it takes.

God love you! Sometimes it is just hard. New jobs are often difficult and challenging enough without the unkind people factor. It is a hard lesson to learn that one can't please all the people all of the time and for some, none of the time. You have your head wrapped around the situation so just remember you are the precious daughter of the most high God and we all love you. You are a winner.

Huge pat on the back for passing up McD's! Maybe you can take out your frustrations by hitting the gym and picturing the troll's face on the punching bag? ;)

Shopping therapy can be helpful; however, remember - you CAN do this! And at the end of the day, loving yourself is the most important factor in being successful!

Chin up! I don't know why some people allow a little authority to go to their heads. Don't let the haters win!
