It's almost exactly 10 years since I first did a "blind" interview -- meaning I had no connection to those people, it was a first meeting with no previous things they'd heard about me.
And I enter these interviews a good 40 pounds lighter then last time.
I was watching the Biggest Loser finale (love that show, esp. the finale) tonight. I was thinking about how I think about myself now. I know that I used to worry a lot about how people percieved me being overweight, mostly wondering if they thought I was lazy.
Truth be told, I kind of was.
But, when they see me tomorrow, what will they think? I always think about the impression I leave with someone. Up until now I always figured they'd describe me as the fat, funny girl with the curly hair. So, who am I now?
Who do I want to be?
I guess the impressive funny girl with the curly hair. I just want weight out of the picture.
And honestly, who knows if it was out of the picture all along, but it's hard not to think about it when you know you're overweight in your heart.
So, wish me luck. Tomorrow is a day to be proud of ALL of the things I have accomplished in my life, and share that with people who need me to help their organization. :)

Amen, Hilary! I think you "see" your weight more than any other person. To me, I always saw you as a funny, dedicated-to-motherhood, friendly, welcoming friend. You made me feel happy and comfortable in your presence. You're still those things, except now maybe YOU see them more clearly???
I watched the finale last night, too...and LOVED what each finalist (go girls!) said about how they changed SO much more inside...in their thinking about what they CAN accomplish than just what their body looks like. It was awesome!
GOOD LUCK! Be yourself...you're golden.
