Chub Chasers

        Did you know there are people in this world who actually are more attracted to bigger people than thin ones and they have a name: "Chub Chasers". I laughed my head off when I heard this .That is such a funny name but a true thing. I wish I knew this in my early years , I would have been more confident knowing that there were guys that liked chubby girls and think of all the diet money I would have saved. The other day my message therapist asked me if my husband would mind if I got thin . I mentioned this to Stephen and he said he would love me no matter what but he likes me with curves and admits to being a Chub Chaser. So I'm married to one of those people , go figure!!! I laughed again and gave him a big hug and knew then and there that I married the perfect guy!

Release the Giant!!!!!

Sorry, it's been awhile, but lots has happened in the last 3 weeks.

Without going into too much detail, my Mothers day was a huge turning point in my life. I slayed my giant and came out a new person.For the past 10 months God has been preparing me to confront a huge issue in my life and now as I reflect back I see how everything God had me do ( Martha fast , Fiction fast, confronting my weight and journalling on a Blog) led me to a place where I was strong enough to face my giant. God gave me the vision of David and Goliath before I confronted this person and I can't tell you how it helped. It was the physical parallel to what I had to do in the spirit, I love how God does that.

After that day I new I would begin to cleanse the emotional toxins and needed to be prepared. Again Gods timing is so perfect! My friend had mentioned a therapy called stomach message which intrigued me instantly as my stomach is my holding point for all my emotion. It took some time to find the person who knew about this but the timing was perfect and I had my first appointment booked the week after Mothers day.

You have to understand that NO ONE touches my stomach .It is probably my least favorite place on my body( except when I carried my babies) so having a perfect strangers kneading it like a ball of bread dough was a little out of my comfort zone( to say the least!!!). I had to trust that God had planned this so I went and it has been very interesting. I actually felt okay and I have to say that just allowing that part of me to be touched was a huge breakthrough in self acceptance. The second visit resulted in a release of a lot of emotion the next day , thank God I have such a wonderful husband who understood even before I did what was happening and allowed it all to come out . My third visit was yesterday and I feel great today. It's all about messaging out toxins ( physical and emotional ) so I'll keep you updated on my results. Even if nothing more happens after my 6 week session this experience has changed my perception of my stomach , my body and myself.
