jeannieselby's Journal, 09 July 2021

Came across my 2014 Calendar yesterday, while searching for an envelope. I was feeling sorry for myself looking back on all of the cool activities that filled my days, that I'm currently unable to do, UNTIL I took into account that every day on that calendar showed a weight between 297 to 303 lbs!

I am so happy not to be carrying that extra weight! I joined FS that December to get it off, and while the journey has not been fast, it has gotten me to below 250, and to weights I haven't seen since before my Mom died in 2006.

I'm back at the office today! While the desire is to get delivery, I will hopefully stay strong and eat my lunch from Wednesday. It's leftover because the office provided lunch, and I got to be "NOT a Team Player", by refusing to eat in the conference room with all of them. I let my anger get the better of me, since there wasn't enough room for social distancing, and I am maintaining wearing a mask at all times when not isolated behind my office door.

Lil sis pointed out that I need to channel more of our Mom's "helpless and feeble" energy, instead of our Dad's bullheadedness in dealing with my coworkers. So what if I am angry at the idiocy of having to be here, it's not in my best interest to maintain all of this negative energy. Time to be the "sweet old lady" that needs assistance with everything, instead of the independent "bitch" that I've been.

I accepted help from my associates with getting my stuff from the Jeep into the office this morning. Again my boss can't respond to a "Good Morning", but I will continue killing her with kindness!

Happy Friday y'all, we made it thru another week.

no one has said this yet, so I will. watch what you say, trust no one right now, keep comments positive or neutral. you've got to let go of the anger and move to business as usual while at work for now.

I am a huge fan of passive aggressive behavior. It has served me well! Go for it!

I firmly believe in the old adage, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." Good luck Jeannie! 💜

I agree with Katsolo about keeping a low profile. From your description, your boss is the worse and the corporate culture is wrong. Put a bunch of people in a room without proper social distancing for a meal setting is just wrong in every way. I would document everything going forward b/c their actions are the actions of pushing someone out. I also agree you should seek counsel. You have the right to protect your health. Especially you have a dr.'s letter stating you should work from home. Have you looked into pain management dr. They seem to be a new group of specialist (to me anyway). They may have a way for you to manage your pain. Take care, feel better soon.
