Hey everyone, as many of you may or may not know i have been struggling with my weight issue for the passed few years. I have been trying all sorts of things to help loose weight & keep it off until i can have safe surgery to fix my stomach & eating habits. I am also going through a hefty time of being disabled to the point where i can not work due to my ability of being obese, with many joint & back problems that associate with being an over weight person. I do take the fact i have an eating disorder & unbalanced eating habit. I thought i would bring this up to let everyone know how my life has been since. So i am going to go through it all so you all can get an idea more about me, cause i consider you all family & i think you guys should know.
I was formally in the Rebel Legion/501st before joining the 405th many moons ago. I was bullied in both those groups because of my weight & not being able to go to cons or activities due to that or legion charity events. So i left it behind. I have since lost 2 family members in those years my Mom who was 43 & my gram who was 80. I have been living on my own since 2012. I enjoyed my time being in the 405th & my last con appearance was Scifi Valley Con which was a blast & it was great to meet my fellow regiment members. I have hosted many Halo nights on Xbox with people & skype/google hangouts building suites of armor.
I took a long break from the 405th & contemplating on what i should be doing but it turns out everyone was missing me from the 405th so i had to do something drastic to get back to my family. So i decided to do a 40 day water fasting in which i only lasted 4 days & glade i did because it reset my eating habit and my taste for certain foods was gone & i could start over. Since then i have lost a total of 30 lbs since last Thursday. I was nearing 501 at some point but i have managed to stay out of the 500s and hope i can continue with going down that way i can have a safe surgery down to correct my stomach & my future life.
Even with my disabilities whether being physical or mental i always try to do my very best in showing & giving support to the 405th whether it being in or out of costume. At events or cons. I may no disclose my issues with many people but if it comes to it i let them know. I enjoy being the funny silly spartan that may camp on a chair in costume so my back doesn't go out but at least i am enjoying my time. Everyone should be able to enjoy this great community & what it has to offer. We all love Halo & very grateful that 343 & Microsoft allow us to continue to enjoy making & designing such amazing things.
I am currently going through the process of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy because i can not seem to get out of debt & back on my feet. My rent is covered, electricity is covered. As for car insurance, car registration, cell phone, internet, clothing, & supplies that is not being covered & i am struggling at the moment. I am on a 18 month wait for SSI Benefits. I have a pro bono lawyer helping me with my SSI case. I am currently pending on Cash Assistants with DTA ( Welfare ) But i am still in good spirits. So i am hoping that something turns up soon so i am able to do things & get back on track. I know this many be a little personal but i just wanted to let you all know where i am in life.
I will still be doing everything in my power to do the right thing in the end. I will continue to help & support my fellow 405th members & staff any way i can. Continue to host Halo game nights & live building sessions. I do hope to get back into costume building soon. If anyone wants to discuss anything feel free to reach out. Love you all.
