Getting grossed out with the loose skin

[Bronco0605 135]

Maybe you guys can help me. I have lost 87 pounds since last July and I am really seeing the hanging skin now. My arms are awful, my stomach is gross, my thighs and hip ugh. I knew I would I have it but I guess I never realized it would bother me so much. My boobs OMG !!!

My insurance will pay for breast reduction and panniculectomy but I am nowhere near my goal weight yet so this going to get ALOT worse before it gets better. I have no way to fix my arms or legs we have a very limited budget so those will be like they are forever. I hate how look and feel about myself right now. I happy to be rid of the weight and I feel better physically for sure but I look so gross I can't stand it.

Your skin will continue to shrink for a about two years after you lose the weight so for now, appreciate your better health and your shrinking waist line. Worry about the skin later.

I will say that I know exactly how you feel, though. My boobs look stretched out stocking socks without a good bra and my arms look worse. My thighs look like elephant ankles with all the wrinkles and I don't know if I will wear shorts or not. That said, I look a hell of a lot better with my clothes on than I did before, I feel great, and I've been married for almost 20 years and he doesn't give a flying fig, so... WHO CARES??

I've been skin brushing, you can find videos on YouTube. It's easy and even though I can't really determine how much it is helping, it is what I can do to help things along. I purchased the brush on Amazon and use it every day. I will always have the loose skin, surgery is the only way to rid it completely, but my skin does look and feel better since I've been doing the brushing.
