The battle of the Bubble

Morning girls, hopefully i can keep on track this weekend.
Not had a lot of sleep my meeting at work yesterday was very deep, felt like a kick in the chest, cant really go into detail yet but i have a lot of food for thought in my head:(
I'm sitting with my hubby today to talk and see what can or can not be done, think im going to lose it foodwise.:rolleyes:
I may surprise myself as something else has took priority from eating!

Hope u all have a good day. X

You're right mate.
Got to get my confidence back! I can do this.
Ooooooh got to get it off my chest, our preschool manager is leaving and no1 will take it on. There are 6 staff 3 of which are nearly 60 a 4th that lives very far and is looking for something closer to home and a 5th that said she wont take on anything else as she has a lot of probs at home. That leaves me! 10 years ago i would jump in with both feet and give it a go. Now im too frightened of failier! We are such a lovely team its been running for 40years and have just been given outstanding ofsted but yet may need to close :(
Ive got great ideas etc but no confidence to go for it. Hubby thinks it would give me a goal, put me back into having responsibilities which he thinks id thrive at. Me? Im scared of failing!

thinking of u and hope u can start to sort things with hubby.

Guess we all know that emotions are closely connected to our eating and that we're all on a journey to understand and change things for life?

U've had some great advice from the others in Team Bubble so here's my offering for u to consider - take a little time for u to write a list of the SW food U've really enjoyed inc treats like the cheesecake u made - can u get some quark nearby I wonder?

Or how about the SW Ferrero Rocher 1 syn each - let me know if u'd like a recipe for SW cheese scones which are free! Sw choc brownies are divine! You may not be able to get ingredients or feel liking cooking - if so, do what u can and take care of u.

Lady you are mad!

You're the only person who doesn't think you can do this. It's an amazing opportunity, and if you weren't capable of doing it you wouldn't be considered for the job in the first place.

Just think, if you seize this opportunity and make a success of it you will have the most incredible year. Between starting your weight loss journey, coming off the pills, having amazing family time away and potentially this new challenge you could really make 2014 the one for you.

Don't dismiss yourself so easily. Reflect on whether you WANT the job because there's no doubt about your ability xx
 
Bubble, this could be an amazing opportunity but I completely understand your fears and confidence issues. Taking on more responsibility can be scary and if it means more hours, you have to consider the impact on your family life. You will never know if you can do it unless you try, and if it isn't what you expected, so what, at least you tried. It seems to me that you know the job and what is required so it's not like it is something completely new to you. Please have confidence in your ability. Don't let it put you off. We only regret the things we don't do. Be brave and go for it. I changed jobs a few months ago and felt similar, can I do it, am I good enough? I went for it anyway, got the job and am enjoying it. I just thought, if it doesn't work out, I'll just get another job. if it is what you want, don't let self doubt hold you back. X
 
Thanx guys have to weigh out pros and cons 3 kids that still rely on me, but this could get me away from the 'mum rutt'
Why do i want to eat when im like this? I was ok last night as my friends took over and cooked my healthy dinner. Cos i did say when they arrived 'lets have chinese', im lucky theyre very supportive they know me too well. Today its mine own devices and i mustnt let me slip.. im having a sausage sarnie this morning hope i feel better after that. X

It sounds a fab opportunity. You can always try it. Better to try then to wonder what if? X
 
You are stronger than you think.... both with food and with work xx

Hi and well done (whatever u decide to do) I'll probably be repeating what other Mini friends have said but here goes:

Seems to me that ur hubby, manager and those that have commented here have LOADS more confidence in u than u!!! I think u shd brush ur new cherry red hair put those sexy boots on with ur favourite outfit and take a long look at urself in the mirror - then think about what u want to do.

You're clearly capable, I didn't like the way u described the situation at work I'm afraid cos the way I read it - u were putting urself down - suggesting that u were the last option - but of course any company can advertise to bring fresh, experienced, qualified ppl in!

BUT they've decided they want you - I can tell from your thread that ur caring, efficient, organised and methodical and any job needs those qualities and ur hubby and manager will know how well ur suited to the job.

It's an opportunity - I think only you can decide if the time/job etc are right - I hope u come to a decision soon and hope u enjoy ur weekend.x

Hear hear :D
 
Thanx upndown a real talking to for me huh?
Im not feeling like the last resort but its such a small commitee run business thats gone on for years on end, i was the last in, the youngest, and well although fresh blood and new ideas is good will i be rubbing people up the wrong way, people who are now coming into the setting with their grandchildren? I love the job, the kids, the family environment thats been created but i think the manager is off due to loss of government funding and she has no idea how to turn it on its head.
Anyway i brushed my hair put on my jumper dress and boots. Got chatted up by a young salesman at the shops (brought a smile to my face) think graham was ready to chin him!! Haha.
Been super good so far no lapses with food. :D

It's great to hear u sounding more upbeat - isn't it a amazing what a box of dye and a pair of boots will do - only joking! Good news on the chat up - see everybody but u sees someone they like in u!!

U shd be proud that u haven't turned to food for comfort today like so many of us do!

Have a great evening - I'm sure the right decision will come to you soon.

Good evening hun,
I'm with all the other ladies on this one. Get your confidence and go for it.
Nearly 4 years ago I wondered if I could change direction and asked hubby to back me so I could start my own business. I was confident that it would work but not confident that I could make it work. 4 years on it is now a successful business and is going from strength to strength. It took a lot of hard work but more than anything my confidence grew. Anyway what I am trying to say is if you think you have a chance of doing it then give it a go and the confidence will come.xx
