I'm glad I stayed below my goal because today sucked and I'm so tired and stressed. :(

My boyfriend had to come home from work with me which was a pain, I wanted to be alone and have space after such a rough day, but oh well, it couldn't be helped because his other ride left work early.

I'm feeling pretty subdued because I'm bloated AF from not drinking enough water the past two days and drinking too much diet soda with all the sodium in it, plus I'm exhausted so. I know tomorrow's weigh-in will be bad, but maybe in a couple days once I re-hydrate I'll finally see some progress. At least I made it through today without really feeling like it was hard to resist the cookout food my family was eating in front of me, that I am grateful for.

I'm glad I stayed under my goal today, but I drank like no water and only diet soda, so I'm probably gonna gain tomorrow on the scale from the sodium in the soda. Not thrilled about that but it's my own fault obviously. I'm also scared because I have to go to my family's all day for laundry and it's 4th of July, so they're going to cook out. I already warned them I won't be eating cookout food because of my "Diet," so my mom was supposed to have lots of fresh veggies and fruit available for me, but since I can't plan out exactly what I'm going to eat ahead of time, I'm really stressed. This is literally going to be the first time in months that I haven't had a precise meal plan laid out ahead of time for a day, I don't like it. I know I can still stay under my goal but please wish me good vibes. :/

Also there's a hurricane about to hit the area this week so Walmart was HELL this morning getting my groceries, they were completely out of one of the flavors of Greek yogurt I needed, so I have to completely rearrange the flavors I had laid out in my meal plan and it's gonna be a pretty boring week flavor wise. Then two of the red delicious apples I bought and ate so far had a bunch of gross spots hiding under the surface.

Hey there, thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately yes, I do most definitely have some loose skin. I wish I could tell you that I didn't, but unfortunately due to the structure of human skin it's pretty much unavoidable once you exceed a certain body fat %.

My stomach is the most noticable place obviously, and it's particularly a trouble spot for me because of the way I've always carried my body fat, I have a high concentration of it in my lower front abdomen as opposed to on my waist/back, etc, so that area became very badly distended at my HW. At this current time it doesn't hang off of me, but it looks very sort of like "Crepe-y" as they say, like the skin has a texture a little bit like crepe party streamers. And I can tell that once I fully have no fat left on my stomach, it will definitely have a little bit of skin hanging loosely there.

My arms only have a little loose skin and honestly it's not noticeable, even when I hold my arms out to the sides, I don't have like "Bat wings" or anything, they just don't look quite as slender and firm near the armpit as they would if I had never stretched my skin.

My legs have a tiny bit but it's only noticeable if I'm sitting down with shorts or no pants on and my thighs do "The thing" when you sit, you know? Lol. Instead of squishing outward in a very even round shape when that happens, the skin sort of droops. It doesn't bother me that much, any sort of pants or tights are basically enough to stop it from happening.

I know a lot of what I said was probably very discouraging and I'm sorry, I wish I could offer you hope that you won't have any loose skin, but I can't promise that since that's not how it happened for me, BUT. What I will say is this:

When I first started out to lose this weight from my HW, I was TERRIFIED and DEVASTATED at the idea that my body would forever be stretched and saggy from loose skin. I was heartbroken thinking about it and hoped it wouldn't happen to me. I thought I'd never be happy if that happened. But now that I'm here, so close to reaching my final goal weight? I can honestly wholeheartedly tell you that I would do it again in a heartbeat even if I knew 100% for sure starting out that I would have the loose skin. I still wake up now feeling *infinitely* better about myself and happier with my body than I did when I was heavier, even on my bad days I would still choose this body over the one I was living in before. Without hesitation.
