Just the Beginning

Aug 18, 2010

I, like alot of you, have struggled (and I mean struggled) with my weight my whole life.  I was always the 'chubby' kid.  When I sat down I had rolls on my belly.  I used to 'suck it in' when I thought people might be looking my way.  In highschool, I was never the skinny blond girl.   

My mother and my father taught me to be independent and I learned how to take care of myself.  I was the responsible one.  I started working when I was 13 and never stopped.  I graduated from highschool and the next day I started my first full time job.  I always tried to please other people and make others happy.  This started at an early age.  I was the 'PeaceMaker' in our family.  I believe this is where my journey of obesity began.  I came last at all times.  And look where that got me.  232 pounds and 5'5". 

Today is the start of the new me.  I scheduled my VSG for October 18th, 2010.  I haven't told my husband yet, because he said I couldn't have it done unless my insurance paid for it.  My insurance will pay for the Lap Band and RNY, but not the VSG which is what I want.  So, today I am first and I am privately paying for this, no matter what my husband says. 
I AM GOING TO START PUTTING MYSELF FIRST.
