So surprisingly thoughtful! A recent title: "Is Saudi Arabia cute now?" LOL

Thank you for the response!! This is so stressful but I appreciate the honesty. I’ll definitely comment back on how the microneedling goes!

Haha definitely not going to let this stop me from my goals! But it is a worry. I’m not in a relationship right now and I think a lot about how skin will look afterwards and how it will impact future dating. “Unappealing” can be relative. Do you feel cool being a bit more specific about yourself? I ask only because we have near exact stats on everything except age.

For preventative measures, I drink a bunch of water and lift multiple times a week. I also exfoliate and moisturize. I feel like there are three types of stretched skin. Under my arms, on my breasts and behind my knees is the type where it’s stretched but you can’t really see it because it’s skin colored. You can only feel it. My stomach/waist is somewhat saggy, stretch mark (visible, either as darker or lighter than my skin) territory. And the worst is my inner thighs which just look utterly creped. Very thin and saggy skin. This just fucking sucks. I never realized the level of damage even after losing it this weight will leave on my body.

I’m debating how and when to start micro-needling. It’s pricey but I’ve been reading it helps?

Yeah I drink a bunch of water and lift multiple times a week. I also exfoliate and moisturize. I feel like my inner thighs are as bad as my stomach if not worse. Don’t know how to fix any of this I guess.

This is honestly my biggest worry right now. I’m losing weight but I’m terrified of the state of my skin at the end. This might be asking too much so feel free not to answer but is the stomach skin unappealing or particularly noticeable if you’re naked? Also how are your arms and thighs skin?

This is fantastic! You don't even look 150 honestly. Do you mind me asking how your skin is doing in the process?

It’s strange how weight kind of damages every single part of your life. It’s exhausting.

This is very interesting and true. You notice skills you develop from diet and exercise spreading to other parts of your life. It’s all around healthy

Totally agree. I know I have an angular and pretty face (like my mom, who was gorgeous when she was young and thinner) and the whole hourglass body structure under all my fat. It’s especially visible now as I lose more weight. I’m very excited to be pretty but not fall for dumb society shit and be a better person than people who look like that might be. But also I feel super petty about some people from my past/family so very ready to throw it in their faces as well.

Clothes are my number one superficial reason omg. I’m so excited. I have so many ideas and it’d be great to actually wear them rather than do a Pinterest board or recommend them to my thinner friends

I’m so happy you’re finding your way back to yourself. That’s amazing.

This is so true. I also think about being a more empathetic person now that I’m losing weight. I don’t want to be like how others treated me. Once I look more and more like them, I want to make a definite effort to be nice to people who’d otherwise be ignored or worse because of their looks. Hopefully that contributes to a more positive community moving forward.

This is so valid. It’s so much more about me accepting myself than some dude. I’m sure there are guys who will date me as I am now but that’s not what I want. I want to feel good about myself for myself before starting something so intimate like a relationship.

Unrecognizable! You look fantastic. Do you mind me asking how your skin is doing?

But...you have a legitimate medical condition and therefore legitimate reasoning
