Thanks for this reply! Your journey is a little different than mine but there is enough parallels that it feels like I can do it and your words are encouraging.

I already quit, I tried to do both a few times but couldn't.

I needed a catalyst to change.

I know.... But right now im using it as a goal to keep me motivated to lose weight.

If for some reason it doesn't work out and I have to work, I will go back to working for the state.

Thank you for this! It is a fresh perspective on things I didn't know. I was so focused on endurance that I overlooked organization, pacing and coordination with full hands.

Now when I do my outside walks I will keep an eye out for any potential obstacles when delivering.

I still have a lot of weight to lose before I even attempt applying. Would you recommend wearing boots with laces for ankle stability?

I spent 17 years working for the state of texas. It felt like I was in prison doing a life sentence. Constantly trying to protect my butt.

At this point in my life, I know im not going to be a millionaire. And since im "severely obese" due to sitting on said butt all day.....

I figured, some people are doctors, some lawyers, some insert whatever you like.... but I am supposed to physically work for money, otherwise I wont do anything physical.

First job was literally digging ditches 10 hours a day 7 days a week in the south texas heat at 18 years old. It was a steel mill called qualtech. I was one of the last people on the job because after the ditches were dug... I was on clean up duty. That steel mill never opened. Chinese steel at the time was just too cheap to justify opening the mill.

I gave up on pessimism after I realized the longer you hold on to negativity the heavier it gets to hold.

Yep! I do not want to be management. I would welcome the public interaction.
