Stressful Friday...

Sometimes the things I stress out about are just not worth it. I let people get under my skin and then it effects me in a major way. I am doing two different jobs at work, its literally an hour by hour thing. I never know what I am supposed to be doing when. Well today I asked, apparently that was foolish of me. The person I asked talked down to me and made me feel like an idiot for asking a question. I found it very rude and unprofessional. I try to brush it off as her "having a bad day" and then I realize that she is always that way. By her being "that way" I let it change MY day.

 Im an emotional eater and I always have been, probably the reason I got to where I am. By letting her change my day I went to the eatery down stairs in my building and bought and consumed food that I normally wouldnt. And now I just feel lousy. I hate that I let people effect me in such a strong way. That stops now...from this point on I am turning my day around. My stressful friday will become my "Plugging away Friday"

"Every new begining comes from some other beginings end..."

I have never pictured myself as the blogging type. I always like to read other people's blogs but never thought to create my own. The other day I got brave & here I am! My name is Jessica and I am a 20-something living with my amazing husband in Upstate New York. I work at an insurance company as a jack of all trades. I love my job and the people I work with. I started my weight loss journey when I was 15 years old. I did weight watchers and lost 60lbs! After I graduated high school I gained about 25lbs back and have been struggling every day since to lose it, and that has been A LOT of years. I have the most supportive man I know for a husband. I met my husband, we will call him the "captain*" when I was 8 years old. I had no idea then that he would be the man I would spend the rest of my life with. I started dating "the captain" at the beginning of my senior year of high school and we have been together since. I love my life, my friends & my family. I wouldn't trade anything or anyone. Every person I have ever met has impacted my life in one way or another. I plan to lose 40lbs and get healthier in the process in order to spend the rest of my life with the ones I love!

* I will call my husband the captain because two years ago when we volunteered in the same fire department he was my captain.
