Well lets start with who I am... I am a young 30 something who has recently married. We do not have children... yet. I am a early childhood educator who spends all day with 15 four and five year olds. Needless to say I am in high gear from 7am to 4pm 5 days a week... so why am I fat? As a child I grew up with parents who were self employed and worked odd hours. Meaning a lot of fast unhealthy food choices. When we did slow down there were comfort food meals. (I'm southern) As an adult this mentality traveled with me along with a new found comfort mechanism in college STRESS EATING. When I graduated and started out as a teacher I fell into the area of everyone eats and then I eat. This often left little time for me so either eating a full meal in 5 to 10 minutes or grazing for the rest of the day. All of this adds up to one simple conclusion. I am horrible at making food choices that are good for me.
My goal with the VSG surgery is to re-learn how to eat. I told my nutritionist that I want to go through an almost infantile rebirth of food. WHY? Why? When I have children of my own. I want to set positive examples of how to eat healthy. I want to be a better person. I know this sounds like a lofty goal but it is true. Don't get me wrong I have a selfish reason too... I want to be thin... I want to be beautiful... I want to fully live without the constraints of FAT.
