If you’re viewing this, thank you for reading my post and for any comments, I really appreciate any help I can get right now!
I broke a part of my foot and have not been able to work since mid August. I have a knee scooter and am willing to work on that but because of my weight, I’ve been advised not to as it’ll put that pressure on my knee. I’m honestly welcoming this time off to focus on my weight and I know that I’ll forever be happy for this wake up call that’s forcing me to dramatically change my habits. I’ve lost almost 50 lbs. this year, but it’s not been enough apparently and the stress of working demanding eight hour shifts on my feet and of being overweight most of my life, finally took it’s toll.
I backspaced about five paragraphs of my slightly distressing story and instead of boring you with, I want this to be a more upbeat post because that is what I need to find and not dwell on what I can’t change.
Here are the facts:
-I probably won’t be able to work until mid-February or March, after I get surgery and finish physical therapy.
-Because I only recently decided to attend college (I’m 21), I do not have many credentials for a job. (I have always believed in self education, but no matter how much I learn, it doesn’t have much significance without a degree.)
-I have never held a job that I could transfer to an online position. The job I was working at was in store customer service and I had only been working there for a couple weeks when my accident happened.
-I have less than $1k in savings left and because I opted to pay out of pocket for four college classes, $1.8k in out of pocket costs to cover before early December.
-My expenses for the rest of October, November and December add up to $1.5k.
-I am making some money selling things online but it’s a game that is tiring and not really profitable other than for showing you how little you actually need.
I don’t drink or smoke and if I’m not a fucking minimalist by the end of this, something is wrong with me.
-I learn quickly.
Like I said in the beginning, your advice is appreciated!
