I'm a wife of 24 years, and mother of two adult kids.
I've struggled with my weight all my life and am ready for a permanent change.
I went back to school when my kids hit their teens and completed an associate's program and passed my boards as a Registered Nurse.
In the area where I live, though, most hospitals now require a bachelor's degree. I'm three classes away from my BSN, but need a job to finish (it's a frustrating circle - I need the degree to get a job, but can't finish the degree without a job! ARRGH!)
I am also convinced that my weight is interfering with my ability to get a job. Who wants a fat nurse!
So now I'm going to change . . . anyone want to help keep me honest? :)
