I've been "this big girl" ever since I can remember really. Not THAT big, I've pretty much always been probably 60 pounds over weight my whole life (Imagine being the 5th grader forced to shop in the adult sizes because that's what fits and seeing a teacher wearing the same thing. :/ ) but I can't help but be worried that after I lose the weight I want to that my skin won't "bounce back" from the excess weight it's been holding in for all these years.
Don't get me wrong, I'll be psyched to lose the weight regardless, but I want to feel SEXY in a bikini, not just as self-conscious for a different reason.
I wish someone had the answers I'm looking for, but everyone's different and I'll have to find out from experience and actually doing it. My hope is that because I'm still young, my skin is resilient enough to adjust to my new weight, as well as the fact that I'm doing it within reason (time-wise).
I've never been through this, so I can't be sure, but I think you have as good a shot as anyone for the skin to bounce back. Like you said, you're young, and you've never been HUGE, so it doesn't have as far to go back to normal. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input! That's what I'm hoping for, but I suppose only time will tell! :)
