Anyone else really struggle to make it through life at some point?

Thanks!
Yes, it sucks as that was my favorite job I have ever had. Now I am afraid to go out and get a physical job because of my back. I actually need surgery, but from other people telling me and me actually knowing someone that had it done, I really just dont need it right now.

I actually can get a job right now working for Kraftmaid Cabinerty. They start off over 11 I think it is and go up extremley fast. Thing is it is very fast paced and shit my back hurts me when I do the dishes. Probably dont help that since I quit that job that I am pushing 300 pounds and I am only 5-10. I really need to do something about that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Yea that would help your back alot too

Wow! That is some crazy stuff there. Glad to see you moved on to better things. Also how did you get a job building lear jets? I wouldnt tell your boss about this stuff. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Lol, yea better hope he's not on CA. But seriously thats a -wow- story too. Really glad to see you had a friend to come for you. Some people dont have that. A lady my mom worked with killed herself recently. Sad stuff

Also to youngun, just read your story and man that would be tuff. I feel for ya man. My g/f has a family like that and she has told me some crazy stories before. I couldnt imagine having to live like that. Thing is I betcha it makes stronger than most people. Probably because you have to be. Just keep your head held high and stay positive and I am sure things will look up for ya. At least your in school, so that is good. Get yourself a good education and I know you will be fine. Good luck!

Always been big and when I tell people I weigh that much they dont believe me. I actually look the same really when I weighed 250. I am at 289 right now to be excat. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif But that is what happens when you work the job I do. (At work right now) I usually post, eat, post, eat, lol! Naw, just kidding! I actually only eat like twice a day. Breakfeast and dinner and thats about it. I just need to eat healthier foods and try to work out. I would like to get down to 230 or so. Would be a good weight for me. I will never be skinny, just isnt in my genes.

Wish I had parents or knew someone that could get me a good job. If you dont have the education IMO it always takes to know someone to get a decent job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Thanks man. Yea I'm a really strong willed person, usually the only thing keeping me from giving up all together is the determination to beat this and be like 'Yea bishes! what!" lmao. My GPA now is ~3.0 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I gotcha, I got some friends like that, some people are just always big. But getting off any of that weight you can will help alot.

Jeez,some of your stories really puts things in perspective.I feel for all you folks,and wish you the best of luck.The best advice I can give you is to not think about it,just do what you have to do to survive.I've never had it too bad.doing better than anyone expected.when I was younger,everyone thought I would turn out s**ty,and be on welfare and stuff,cause I was considered the "wild one".But my how things have changed.Of all the kids in my family,of my generation,I'm the only one who has done ok.Got a job,house,wife,son(in that order).Everyone else has had shotgun weddings,on drugs,*****ing themselves out,in jail or whatever.I guess I'm the"good one".And I'm **** proud of that.But to everyone with hard times,work hard,and take it one day at a time.Success is made in a crock pot,not a microwave.
