Hi people.

I'm closer to goal than not, but I have an issue that I'm hoping your combined experiences can help me with.

It's about my skin. I need to make peace with the sagging, drooping skin that I'm living in and which is only going to get worse until I get to goal and have plastic surgery.

The thing is as a SMO woman weighing in at over 300+ I could strut nude in front of the One I Love but as someone who has lost over 100 pounds the I can no longer strut.

It's like I'm focusing on the negative (so far the only one) of losing weight and not the positives. But it's huge and I know I need to make peace with it because I'm a solid year or more away from PS. And this discontent has me making really poor, deliberately bad choices. At least I've been able to make that connection.

Any way, any help you give, tips or ideas about living happily in this body while I become thinner and healthier would be appreciated.

TIA.

I know what you mean Green, I'm 40 and I have trouble differentiating between what is loose skin and what might just be natural aging. I mean I have no way of knowing what I would have looked like by now anyway, if you know what I mean.

I think to a degree, looking clothed is a great thing, and there's no way we're all going to look good naked at 80. You cant fight it forever. I seem to look pretty much like everyone else, so I'm just going with it. I dont see the point in lopping off what I have.

And my own personal motto in life - If you cant tone it, tan it!
