What is the deal with extra skin?!?!?!? Its yucky, its nasty and it drives me crazy. Sometimes I just want to get extra fat again so my flippin' skin fits!!!!!!!!!!! My highest (non preg) wt was 270 . I am now about 184, I would like to be around 170. I am 5'8" My arms have stretch marks, but my stomach is the worst. I have stretch marks from being fat, stretch marks from being preg and now just loose hangy crap from losing weight. It drives me crazy. When I look down, I just see wrinkly belly, and if I am doing pushups or anything on all fours, it just hangs there. I still have belly fat, too, but I can tell the difference, I can grab a handful of skin. EWWWW. DH says he doesn't notice unless I point it out (he's been with me thru thick and not so thick) and it doesn't bother him. It bothers me! I would like to be nekkid and rolling around in the light instead of the dark or semi dark. But it bothers me when I am dressed, too. It make my belly stick out more than it would, bc I have to shove all this extra stuff in my jeans. And it makes jeans dang near impossible to find, without getting the dreaded back gap. I have a deep back curve and then all this extra stuff in the front. Squishing it and having it hang out the top is not cute or comfy. Plus, I have a dark line around my belly from wearing too tight jeans as a teenager bc I wanted to wear the smaller size and didn't want to tell my mom that the jeans she bought me a month ago didn't fit anymore bc I had gained wt. I would have thought the line would go away in time, it has faded but not gone away. I know there is no way to get the extra skin/stretch marks off except to cut them off, and that is an option I am not willing to explore. OW!!! It just drives me crazy. Some of the stretch marks are more than a 1/4 inch wide, and goodness knows how long. Ugh!!! It drives me crazy. Some times I wonder why I do all this work to look like a deflated balloon in the belly. I mean, I know why, but it really, really grates on me sometimes.
I just had to get that out. Thanks for "listening"
