Cathy's Surgery
For as long as I can remember, I've struggled with my weight. I was always chubby, from birth - and I kept gaining until my early 20s; I'd stacked up a considerate amount of weight when I decided that enough was enough. I embarked on a weightloss journey in 2013, and has since lost +70kg, that's over 150lbs.
I'm down in size, down in kilos - but the one thing that I'm not down in is skin. After losing all this weight, there is loose skin everywhere; skin I can't afford to get rid of. I've struggled with depression, which has led to a difficult time in work places and such, leading to a low income and no money to put into my savings. I need help with paying for surgery for my arms; that's the area I'm most uncomfortable with; it kills me to see this in the mirror every day, knowing that there is nothing I can do about it alone.
I'm asking for help, as a 25 year old woman who is too embarrassed to wear short-sleeved shirts because if insecurities; I want to be able to wear a t-shirt next summer, without feeling the need to cover up these wing-looking arms.
Perhaps I've set an unrealistic goal, but honestly, anything would be appreciated. Any small start is good; I'm desperate at this point. Thank you in advance.
