In losing 127 pounds, I have gained a sense of courage I never realized I was missing. From roller coasters to plummeting fair rides, I've become pretty fearless. I think I'd go skydiving if the opportunity arose, and I'm DYING to go horseback riding!
And it was this fearlessness that pushed me to apply for a teaching job--in CHINA. I don't think I really thought it out completely...there's NO WAY I could go to China now. My mom is 81 years old, and, thankfully, she's in pretty good health. But I wouldn't forgive myself if I was on the other side of the world when she needed me most! So I emailed the company and told them I wanted to take my name out of the running for the position. They encouraged me to apply another time--and I may. In the meantime, a little sesame chicken should do me just fine...
Have a great day, everyone!
