The Subject Of Skin

So there has been a few questions lately on the subject of loose skin.  Firstly, I think that it probably depends on lots of factors - your age, how much weight you have to loose, the type of skin you have, your genes - need I go on.....

So for me I have always had good skin.  I have heaps of stretch marks from being pregnant, breastfeeding and the ups and downs in my weight over the years.  I haven't done any exercise since being sleeved nor am I one for creams and lotions with miracle fix-it claims.

So with my 30kg I have lost sure there are a few saggy bits. 

My arms used to be huge...  go back and look at the photos....  they were horrid.  Now sure there is a little loose skin and I certainly need to loose a little more from this area but I still feel totally comfortable wearing sleeveless clothes. 

My boobs are saggy - and I really have not dropped the bra sizes I was expecting too.  I have gone from an 18F to a 14DD.  Yeah they could probably benefit from a little lift but honestly - apart from being in bed when am I ever going to not be wearing a bra!  In a bra everything looks great!  I wish they would shrink a little more!

My tummy is probably the bit I dislike the most I can still see the apron of fat and I am hoping a few more kilos will see more improvement.  I think I will always have some loose skin - I had two big bubs - 4.5kg and 3.8kg and the CS scar seems to make things worse.  I will never wear bikinis  - wear crop tops  - get my belly button pierced - but I don't want to do those things - they aren't me - so I don't feel like I am miss out!   I simply wear some support underwear and you don't notice a thing!

My bum is now tiny - long gone are the days of a huge arse!  The left over bits are a little saggy on the edges but WOW it looks great in jeans!

So I guess what I am trying to say is that being fat was killing me.  It destroyed my confidence and I hated myself.  Don't let a little bit of loose skin deter you from changing your life!  For me  - I wouldn't change a thing!
