Loose Skin + TMI Alert

I cannot wait to get to my goal weight and maintain for a lot of different reasons, but one MAJOR reason is so that I can start considering a Lower Body Lift.

While my skin is not THAT bad by most other people's standards, it really bothers me (and I'm still 50 pounds from goal).

So, how do you know when you have a skin problem?  (for me anyway)

Today, I went for my monthly Brazilian, and the Wax Specialist asked me to pull the skin on my lower tummy (upward) to make all the skin less loose.  Yep, that's embarrassing.

Excess skin is my current enemy.

    My enemy was my arm skin and I just did it ... : ) 30'ish lbs from goal and everything. I just didn't want to wait anymore. I feel far too often that I'm sorta done, just haven't been ready to actually call it "goal" because it's not. But I've been between 175 and 180 bouncing up and down for nearly 18 mos now. : )

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
