My motivation

Oct 12, 2011

Elina posted about motivation on the VSG board today and I thought I would repost my response here.

My motivation through this entire process has been my health. For a fat girl I was pretty damn healthy. No diabetes, no high BP or cholesterol, no mobility issues. But I knew if I continued the way I was going I would get there sooner or later (probably sooner). I look at my grandmother who has been overweight for as long as my mother can remember and see all the heatlh issues she has because of her weight and I didn't want to end up there someday. So I grabbed ahold of what I wanted and I took it.

My other motivators:

My little brother, who has been my biggest cheerleader through everything.


My sister, who told me that surgery was crazy and I shouldn't do it. She's on board now, but it still feels good to know I knew what was best for ME.


My fur-baby, who is gonna need her mommy around a long time, who else is gonna buy her treats?!


And me, the fat girl with the pretty face that always knew that she was better than what she was. That she could do anything she wanted and would do it someday.
