You guys influenced my life outside of weightloss
You know, today was a crazy one. Back track 2 weeks ago my boyfriend lost our cell phone but I thought we lost it somewhere in our house or cars. Because the phone has been having tech issues, I thought maybe I could hold off call it in to AT&T for suspension. Which was not smart. Because here it is two weeks later and I called it in to find out whoever found the phone had no heart. They ran up my bill to $2200.00 worth of international calls. AT&T may or may not help me out with removing the charges; I won’t know for a few stressful days. But the thing is, when I first heard this I turned to my old self, I panicked, I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I wanted to leave work….but after getting off the phone with AT&T, forcing myself to work the last few hours have been therapuetic. I thought to myself, what would a buddy on BS do if they were in my shoes? What would they tell me if I went online and told them how stupid I feel? After thinking about if for a while, I calmed down, the stress is almost gone and here I am levelheaded again.
If AT&T does not remove the charge, I will talk to them and see if they will work with me on a payment plan. Because I was the one responsible for contacting them when we first lost the phone. I didn’t do it. I am holding myself accountable for it. I hope they work with me because I am taking 100% ownership for allowing a stranger to pick up that phone and use it when I had the resource to stop them for using it.
Like my weightloss, I hold myself accountable for the lbs I lose and gain. I apply this to other aspects of my life and I feel good. You know what, I am in control…albeit I learned the hard way, at least I am taking responsbility for my actions.
Thanks guys for helping me get to this point in my life. 
Your very welcome. This site is certainly a learning experience to us all. You never know who you will meet or what they will contribute to you directly or indirectly. Right now by sharing your growth experiences with us you are helping us right now. It is a great give and take relationship. This site is certainly more than I ever thought it would or could be…. Everytime I think about leaving it I get a beautiful message from someone that is so uplifting it truly touches me… Why would I leave that? Anyway, say a prayer about the phone and hopefully with your professionalism and kindness they will help you out to the best of their abilities over there at AT&T…. Have a great day!
I’m so sorry this has happened to you but I commend you for keeping yourself cool about the whole thing. What an awful thing for that person to do. I hope AT&T works with you on this. All the best girl.
My buddies have helped me so much in more ways than just weight loss. I will pray for AT&T to work with you!
I used to work for AT&T a few years ago. Usually they will credit at least part of it. Did you call them when it was lost? That usually helps. If for whatever reason they don’t credit you, they will work with you on a payment plan, that I know for sure! I hope this helps, and I am so sorry! Hope you have a wonderful day, and I have to say I am amazed by your positive attitude.
Thanks guys for your support.
According to the CS rep., she said that I do have a legitimate reason for a credit. She also looked into your 4 yr membership with them and not once did we make an international call, which did help my case. Usually, these types of situation would throw me into an eating frenzy, but I’m hanging on tight and coming here for support.
We love you Nancy! You will get through all this. We all have momentary lapses in judgment that make us feel horrible after. Like me, I got into my first car accident a few months ago. It was just a fender bender but not my fault. I didnt think it was that bad and had no clue that you had to call the cops no matter what. The girl who hit me gave me her number and that was it. Then I find out if I had called the cops, my insurance would’ve gotten me a whole new bumper, but instead my car looks like someone ran a shopping cart into it about 30 times lol. It’s horrible. But I can laugh at it now, even though I felt like a complete idiot later. I hope you work everything out! Good thing AT&T investigated. Now you can get back into the swing of things. You will be fine and you know we are all here!
Wow Nancy! I’m sorry to hear that. I hope they can help you. When my son lost his phone I didn’t want to worry to much thinking it’s in the house but when I talked to TMobile they encouraged me to suspend it just in case.
It’s aweful whoever found it didn’t care to call you. I’ve found at least 4 phones and have ALWAYS called the person to let them know I had it. But I do beleive in Karma, and what goes around comes around.
Great job on handling your stress! Your very strong!
