I was born and raised in Alaska mostly. My parents kept us travelling from Alaska (in the summer) to the lower 48 in the winters. In my growing up, food was always my comfort and protection. And believe me with my upbringin, I needed a LOT OF COMFORT. So, putting on a lot of weight as a protective blanket has been with me since time began... as I know it.
Now, I am finally ready to break out of the mold of needing so much padding of protection. I want to move on. Yet, I can embrace my past and pleasantly say good bye to that type of comfort and protection. I am working diligently on new ways to believe that I am worth my own love. YEP! I am worth it.
So, getting this VSG is really a big emotional step for me. I can't believe that I'm actually going to take care of me. WOW! With my date set. My house is getting emptier and emptier day by day of all of the wrong foods for me. I'm lifting weights to get big projects done, so that I can rest and nurture myself when I return home. Kinda seems selfish... but onto a new experience ... here's to shaking the dust off of the past ... onward, downward and UPward at the same time.
Yes, I am nervous, but I best believe that I deserve to be happy about me - inside and out. Here I go
