Weight issues, work issues.. Its all the same really!

So the career change is being well thought out now. I find that the people around me are the greatest asset at times in helping me get my act together. They are brilliant, until they're not. All of a sudden they're nosing into my life and trying to make sense of the decisions that I am making. They pass a comment that puts a bump in the road and it niggles away at me.
"I don't understand why you don't do teaching"
"Theres an ad in the paper here for childcare assistant, you should apply!" Gee thanks for giving me the heads up. Such a shame that that's the job I've been trying to get away from for the past two years.
Some people mean well. Others are being downright judgemental. Surround yourself with the people who support you. Continue to be optimistic and don't be disheartened. Learn to cope with the negative and pessimistic remarks without turning to food. I play the lotto now when someone annoys me about my work situation and I tell myself that that person would be sickened if I won a million euro. My luck will change some day and my work will no longer be a sore point to discuss with people. I might even win the lotto!

I am stubborn. I think risks out carefully and yes, I make mistakes. I learn from them. I don't let others tell me what I want to do with my life. I'm stronger now than I've been for years and I'll get through all this in tact.

For God's sake, please be careful with what you say to people. You do not know how vulnerable they are and the effect unkind words can have on them. We all know the difference between constructive criticism and being cruel.
