Help Casey Cook get this much deserved Surgery!

So I wanted to take some time to introduce my bestie! Her name is Casey and she has been on her weightloss journey for nearly 5 years now. She has been declined from public surgery twice as she is classified as too healthy, which is always disheartening but she has used this for more motivation to carry on.

Casey is a single fulltime working mother to two amazing kids - not only that, she plays netball, is a volunteer firefighter and plays weekend sport!

Her heaviest weight was 178kgs and the lightest she ever got too was 114kgs - all by her hard work and determination. After a series of personal tragedies that come out of nowhere she had regained 16kgs and is currently sitting at 130kgs (and going down fast!). She work out more times than the days in the week, this includes P.T sessions, FX360, combat, netball & fire training. It has been a long journey with blood, sweat, laughter, bodily noises and tears along the way. Friends have come and friends have gone and it has been a very lonely road...people she thought would be proud became jealous. She has stopped being invited out because she doesn't drink or eat the same junk as them anymore. She has become friends with her trainer and still to this day he is her trainer, friend, counselor, shoulder to cry on, personal masseuse, financial advisor and nutrition expert!

I have quoted Casey below.

"Weightloss frickin sucks and I have loved and hated every second of it...but when I look back at how far I have come, I stop and smile and pat myself on the back (I can reach now) lol I've gone from not getting up steps to doing box jump burpees, thrusters, press ups, sit ups, tyre flips, running up the stairs at the sky tower challenge, completing tough guy n girl twice and the longest day challenge (which I couldn't walk properly afterwards for a week) lol but here I am still busting my guts to get healthier (for my kids) and sexier (for me and my hopefully future partner, when I catch one haha) I have learnt to love myself for every lump, bump, non perky boobs, farty, stretch marked, hangy, clapping sound that my body makes! I am still pushing for public surgery and I will continue to battle for this amazing tool, I believe I am a great candidate for it and my BMI is stopping me from becoming a police officer or career fire fighter and I think that sucks a big fat one! So yeah thats me in a nutshell"

She will be an amazing inspiration to others to wipe away the tears and get back on track with their fitness and healthy eating, smash their goals and make the most of any chance they have been given xxx
