I need your help in affording a tummy tuck to remove the excess fat and skin i have left after losing 150pounds. Here's my story...
I grew up as the fat kid, the big-boned girl, the awkward teen and a sad young woman. I spent my twenties on a heartbreaking roller coaster of self loathing and food medicating, believing that I would never get off that ride.
That’s the old me. I’ve been blessed. Found the treasures and I know all the secrets. Okay…okay, that’s a little dramatic, but it's how I feel! I found a home at my CrossFit Box….CrossFit ATP in Dania Beach Florida . With it, I have a HUGE family that supports me, encourages me, and I’m blessed enough to know they love me too! I found a hero in Juan and a shoulder to cry on with Stephanie, my coaches, my nutritionists, and my allies. Combined, they helped me evolve from someone with a daily ice cream habit to a Cavegirl!
Through my CrossFit Programing and Paleo nutrition I've reached goals that I always dreamed of. I grew confidence and I've lit a fire inside. I went from being an invisible person, tipping the scales at 350 pounds, to the happiest girl ever!
A friend of mine said I act like I’m 15 years old! That’s the best compliment in the world! I feel like I squandered myself out life at such a young age that I’m so thrilled to run and jump and skip and fall and scrape my knees that I could screech!
So here I am: happy, confident, healthy, and strong, but something's holding me back. I've done everything I could do in terms of fitness and nutrition to help myself. I want to be able to row, and do burpees, and deeper yoga moves without my belly getting in my way. I'm here telling my truth and asking for help. Any would do...
Please help me afford plastic surgery to remove the excess skin that is the last reminder of the old me. Thanks for reading.
