Rome’s Breast Reduction
Donation protected
This is something that at times I thought would never happen.
Since I was 11 years old; I have been overly sexualized, made fun of, hated, expected less of, and dehumanized because of the size of my breasts. I fought an eating disorder, waking up everyday, loving myself, shame, and thinking I’d never be good enough.
I have committed myself to working out, to then give up and regress more times than I can count. The physical pain keeps me up at night and being able to do the things that I love. I am a hairstylist (as some of you may know) which is a very physically demanding job. I have dreamed my whole life to have a career like mine, where I get the luxury of getting to know all of the beautiful humans in my chair, and creating my art. Having my body get in the way of so many things has been extremely difficult. I finally get to change that now.
4 years ago, I started my long, and hard journey to fight for what I need to do for myself. Today I am proud to say I’m 115Lbs down, and I have been approved to get a breast reduction in June. I will be lighter physically, and mentally. Externally grateful!
Surgery means taking 5 weeks off of work to recover, and getting the things to help ease my transition. If anyone can help that would impact me greatly.
I appreciate everyone for just reading this. Helping in anyway would mean so much to me. Thank you to everyone who’s helped me get where I am now, and to everyone who continues to support me.
Love, Rome
