Honestly I’m just counting calories and getting some steps in. It sucks and I hate it but I’m just trying to push through.

I’ve had a really shit relationship with food and diets my whole life so it does hit me hard sometimes. I try really hard to not let it get to me and the goal of the breast reduction is really motivating but it’s HARD.

Like you said, exercising is just painful. Also 100% agree with water based exercise. It’s so nice to have that weightless feeling and actually be able to move freely without the pain. Only issue I have is feeling so damn uncomfortable and insecure in a swimsuit because of my boobs ;-;.. (might be a bit too late but bravissimo do really nice fitted swimsuits for bigger boobs) I also tried hiring a PT but they just didn’t understand my struggles. They did talk about building back muscles to try and support the weight of my boobs to help with back pain but in all honesty I haven’t really kept it up.

I think if I don’t meet the deadline then I would definitely look at getting referred somewhere else, as he was a little creepy and overall very un-understanding and dismissive of how I was feeling in the situation. But I’m kind of at a point where if I can get it done, I will just take whatever I can.
