i am still in the process of contacting doctors and insurance and evrything but i just wanted to get out why i want to do this.
first all of my health. i dont really have any health problems yet that are diagnosed. My boyfriend has told me i stop breathing in my sleep but i have never been sleep apnea diagnosed. some days i get scared my heart will just give up on my. when i cant catch my breath or slow my heart rate.
because i hate being afraid of more than one flight of stairs
because i hate being afraid of going out with friends or family. what if we get put in a booth and i dont fit. what if the chairs have arms and they squeeze my thighs so tight all night long i get bruises (this has happend)
because i want to wear the clothes i want to wear and have them fit the right way.
because i dont want to be treated differently, whether in a mean way or an overly accommodating way.
because i dont want to limit my life in any way. i want to be able to do everything and try anything.
because i want to see the face that is hiding under all the fat
mostly because i have a calling to be a massage therapist. to facilitate healing in people with my therapeutic touch. i am 10 months into a 22 month licensing program and it has not been easy. my weight makes endurance as a therapist hard. i sweat and my back hurts excruciatingly i dont think at my weight i will ever be able to do the 4 or 5 hour massages a day i would need to support myself financially. so that is why i am starting the progress now so that i can hopefully schedule my surgery after i graduate next july.
anyways thanks for listening. i believe this journey will be much easier with you guys on here encouraging me and being right there next to me..
