I almost backed out the night before surgery. I'm glad I didn't. It was fear that made me contemplate jumping ship. Fear of failing, fear of dying, fear. I almost left the hospital and got a hotel, a six pack of beer, and a nice hotel room when I realized that I was about to let fear motivate me to go directly into my comfort zone. My comfort zone is exactly what got me into this mess of being overweight and out of control so I decided to LOVE myself and be motivated by that LOVE instead of fear and I'm really proud of myself for not running away but facing my fears. Whatever your decision, do not let fear stop you. You are worth so much more than that!
