Skin-Y

So- the past couple days I have been looking at myself naked in the mirror (ohh lala) and wondering what parts of my body will have loose skin and what will bounce back. My insurance doesn’t cover any sort of cosmetic surgery to take away loose skin, so until I hit the lotto or get a really good job, I won’t be having surgery to remove it anytime soon. I just wonder if it is worth it. Skin looks better when there is fat under it- I just wonder how well lotions and other things will help to tighten my skin up.

To be honest, I am really worried about my breasts. I am 27 and I haven’t had kids yet. I think I deserve to have perky boobs to go with my new body. I hate thinking that I’m going to have to have plastic surgery to get the body I want.


Don’t get me wrong, I understand that there is going to be some loose skin, I just hope I don’t look like… well this —

I know I will have to exercise to help with this, I do yoga a lot and I think that will really help with toning. I think I just need to realize that if I am going to do this, I need to take the bad with the good. Good thing, I love a loving supportive boyfriend who loves me for me, and maybe one day after a house and kids I can get a tummy tuck and new boobs!! (okay maybe just a boob lift, I don’t think I need anymore boob in there.)

I am still putting together a list of food items for preparations after my surgery. The best thing that is going to happen right after my surgery is that my mom is going to be spending a week with me right after my surgery, helping me adjust. I am really looking forward to having her here, and having that support. She lives all the way in Michigan and I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like. She is my best friend, and due to distance and other issues we haven’t been as close this year as we usually are. So I think this will really bring us back together. Plus, since she went through this almost four years ago, it’s just another connection we’ll have.

Christmas is a week away, and I am excited to go back to Michigan and see my family. It’s been a few months since I was back home, and I am really missing everyone. The only thing that would make it better is if I already had the surgery and was well on my way to losing this weight. But I guess at the same time its a good thing I haven’t had it already, I can enjoy the holidays, and then start the year a new. Hey- I may actually be able to keep a New Years Resolution this year!! First time for everything, right?

Anyone readings this that has experienced loose skin and any resolution that they’d like to share, please comment :)
