I don't know what's come over me. But I've decided to share pictures of my stomach with the world. It bothers me so much I'm thinking I just wanna expose it to feel better or something lol it is DEFF shrinking but I think this (and my never disappearing arm roll) and the physicl reasons I can't see myselft as "skinny". I look great in clothes lol but I know this is what's under the clothes. Of course I am proud of my accomplishment and all that- I'm not saying losin over 100lbs doesn't matter because I still have some extra skin and belly fat. I'm just saying I can wait till its gone! I'm doing extra well eating (they say abs are made in the kitchen!) as well as working out. Now by the time I have enough money for a tummy tuck I will prob have amazing results! Here goes!
With the bottom half covered, not so bad!
But exposed the bottom is so soft and wrinkly. I have a ring of melted ex belly around the front and sides of me!
I see you're wearing the bra...and by the way it makes your boobs look AMAZING!!! See Dena's know "stuff" LOL You look awesome, but I totally get what you mean...as you know I personally struggle with my body due to massive weight loss as well, but trust me...it gets better. The more muscle you put on the better it looks I promise. Also, we all see ourselves as looking a lot worse than what we actually do. You saw my areas of stress up close & personal recently (LOL) and you and a professional told me I'm not as bad as I see...but that still doesn't change the fact that I see what I see...so I totally get it :-) And...as you know Dena went from 350 at the heaviest to 100 at the lightest (totally NOT healthy or sexy at 100lbs by the way) and even at 100lbs wearing literally a size LITTLE GIRLS jeans and 4T (yeah kids size 4T) and having an "A" cup bra (my normal size is 36 large C small D) I still saw a fat girl in the mirror. And today at a very healthy weight proportionate to my height and body type, I still see that 350lb fat girl in the mirror. Over the years I have trained my mind though because I know that even though I see the 350lb girl in the mirror I know that 350lb girl cannot fit into single digit jeans and small/medium tops. The mind is a crazy and sometimes dangerous thing. I love you sweet girl and you are gorgeous, smart as hell, a hard worker, and so independent that those of us watching you grow and live your life are so damn proud of you :-)
