WOW! What an amazingly brave soul! I can FULLY attest to the emotional issues that loose skin bring to the table. Every word this kid said rang 100% true in my ears... please watch if you struggle with body image... with losing weight... with loose skin. There came a time in my journey when I hit the 150lb weight loss mark... such JOY and PRIDE abounded! However... at home... by myself... in the mirror I was not happy. In full on tears... emo breakdown... I remember telling my husband one night that I felt like I looked like a deflated balloon. That I hated this new body that I had worked SO HARD for! That I felt cheated and was ANGRY at all of those people that told me oh dont worry about it, the skin will snap back! F that! You have NO idea unless it affects you. When you are morbidly obese for so long your skin just does not SNAP back on its own. Theres too much damage done for that... I remember telling my hubs that I didnt know which was best, being plump and filling out my skin or having the loose skin as a reminder hanging off my body... getting in the way... reminding me daily about my insecurities. I am so BLESSED to have such a loving man in my life... he reminded me that I AM BEAUTIFUL inside and OUT! He told me that it all came down to my health... that I was now an ATHLETE and that I was completely and utterly healthy and that the loose skin did NOT define me. Im not gonna lie... it still bothers me from time to time... I will never wear a two piece... I will never wear short shorts or other revealing attire... but ya know what? I wear my heart on my sleeve and my smile on my face :) I LOVE myself and thats all that matters... thats why they make spanx right? :) https://youtube/watch?v=CpKDteQ3FIQ&feature=youtu.be&list=UUzo4OXE8JxogJHWJ2SypiNg
