Campaign Story
Hello, my name is Catherine I'm 29 years old, and since the age of five, I've been overweight and battling obesity. Somewhere around the age of 22 as I was at my heaviest weight at 320lbs (morbidly obese) I finally woke up and realized that I was unhappy with the way I was, I was always tired, never felt attractive to men, partically was invisible to men especially when out with my slimmer friends and family. It was a decision that I had to make for myself to get myself motivated, focused, and disciplined to change my lifestyle. I started watching what I ate, being more cautions of food labels and nutrition and I started going to the gym for two to three hours a day for four to 5 days a week religiously. I've lost approximately 150lbs since that day. I went from a size 24-26 to a size 12-14. I feel fantastic! Only thing is, now I have a large amount of sagging skin around my stomach and breasts. It's so bittersweet to have lost so much and look great in clothes but to feel disgusted and ashamed about the appearance of my naked body. Though I'm skinny enought to fit into a bikini, I could never wear one from the condition of my skin. The only way to help fix it is to get a tummy tuck/body lift with a breast augmentation. This is the finally leg of my life long weightloss journey, unfortunately I cannot afford this procedure and need help. I know there are more important causes out there than this, that mine seema less important but this is so very important to me and I would greatly appreciate any possible help. Thank you!
