kmartdollie's Journal, 06 October 2012

I wasn't able to work out today because I had a job interview. I applied last night for a part time job as a weight loss counselor, and they called me this morning. I was thrilled, so I drove down there to check it out. It billed itself as a "Medical Spa". Basically they have a doctor who supervises everything. They do botox, chemical peels, lipsuction and they have a weight loss counselor. When they were giving me the tour, they mentioned that they offered "appetite suppressants" that the doctor could prescribe as part of their weight loss program. I finished the interview, I told them about myself and why I wanted the job. They said the scheduling probably wouldn't fit, because I have no intention of quitting my other job. They said they might call me back, but who knows. I feel kind of skeevy about it. I am really against "appetite suppressants". What is that - speed? And besides, what are you going to do about your life and about long term wellness when you can't take them anymore? And I'd probably have to upsell their stupid botox and crap. I don't know, I might be willing to do it if they paid me enough, just for the short term to get my foot in the door, but I don't think that's going to happen. So it was a total waste of my time. At least I did something, though. I investigated it and it didn't work out, but at least I investigated. I very much want to do this and I guess this was the first door that was shut in my face. I wish something would have worked out, but I pride myself on being the kind of person that takes action on their desires instead of sitting around talking about it and not doing anything. So at least I did SOMETHING.

ROck On with your dream, KMD! I KNOW it can work and I know what I am talking about here, as you know. And, I don't blame you for not wanting to support amphetamines for weight loss! Compulsive overeating is about emotional and mental instability - those are the core issues to be addressed in weight loss counseling - not just about appetite suppression. YOU will do it when the right venue presents itself. And, there are weight loss centers that do not prescribe medications you might research. too.
