[TW: weight loss talk]

I just found out I have to lose 8 kilos to be eligible for breast reduction surgery. I’m really set on losing the weight, since it’s lose the weight and boobs or spend the rest of my life with a painful back, clothes that don’t fit and breasts that make exercise uncomfortable or painful. I just… feel like I’ve been defeated somehow. I used to justify my breasts by saying “at least they detract attention from my big belly” but now that I finally feel comfortable with how my body looks and feels, I want to live in comfort and I hear that losing weight is needed to be allowed surgery. I’m just tired I guess and I’m just waiting for someone to say ‘at least it’s good motivation to get thin’ or something and on top of it all I feel like I’m ‘giving in’.
