The Next Step in My Journey
Donation protected
I've battled with depression and my weight my entire life. Over the past two years I've been on an incrediblejourney to take control of my life, to better myself inside and out. At my heaviest I was around 320lbs, extremely depressed and very suicidal. I took a leap of faith and found my path to finding myself and getting healthy. I've lost now 130lbs, lots of hard work, tears and even blood went into this transformation. I've come to the point in my transformation where surgery is needed to deal with excess skin and to reconstruct my breasts. I desperately need this surgery and unfortunately my health insurance doesn't cover it at all. I am begging for help in raising this money for my surgery. For me this surgery would help me appreciate my life a lot more, my excess skin gets in the way of working out, in every day movements, my chest has become so saggy that it's hard to bend over and not completely come out of my bra, when I workout I have to wear multiple tops to keep from my excess skin pushing my pants down and my top coming up. It's extremely uncomfortable physically but it's the mental part that is a lot harder to eal with, it's causing me severe depression and I am unable to identify with my body because I still look obese though I am healthy now. Please help me in any way that you can, for me it's literally a life or death feeling to get this surgery! Thank you so much for your time and reading about my journey :-)This picture shows the full difference in size. I was a 24-26 at my largest and now can fit into 8-10.
