I am glad it is goin well for you babe!!! I to know what it is like to want to lose skin not weight Keep your head up

Thanks Diane, I appreciate your support! You know, you are definitly not the only one here afraid of losing too much! I know a few folks who have already lost too much in their won opinions and that is what scares me. I don't want to go to the other extreme, so I do sabotage my own diet from time to time and go ahead and cheat a little. I laughed my butt off about the sharpei reference... that is exactly how I feel! Of course my breasts are also one of my biggest issues about myself now. I had image issues when it came to my breasts when I was big (they were B cups so I was unproportioned for my body size all of my life) and now they have completely diasappeared! I am not talking when I lay down, they migrate to the pits... no mine are COMPLETELY and utterly flat! If I hang myself forwars they are empty flesh sacs.... it is so humiliating. I don't feel like a woman because of it. I use falsies, padded pushups and the whole nine yards. It is a production to get dressed everyday! I think that is why I have gone so crazy overcompensating. I have always been a tom boy and kinda gothy.... now my friends call me the Old Navy Pagan b/c I am always wearing trendy clothes, overdressing sometimes, or wearing colors that were previsously foreign to me! LOL! Actually right now I am addressing some of this with my friends who think that the old me is gone and that they miss her. (Long Story) Shoot, I went through a huge transformation, and you know what, new body deserves new clothes and since I am so bright and cheery most of the time, my wardrobe has changed to reflect that. It is such a huge difference from the depressed person I used to be! KWIM? Anyways, it seems like my skinny friends think I should lose a bit more and my heavier friends all think I have lost too much... so I have quite the opposite from you in that arena. I just tell people what I am comfortable with and that is fine and I try to change the subject b/c honestly, I am tired of hearing it. I will stop losing when my body is ready to, know what I mean? I know I am happy where I am at and I really don't want to lose more, once the skin is cut off and get myself some tatas I will be sooo stinky happy, I will be doing cartwheels! (Well, after I heal.)

I said no, of course, but I was soooooo flattered when a guy who fixes computers for our school asked me if I was available for a date. He was cute, too. But, when I came home to tell hubby about it, hubby was wearing sexy all-black outfit and had gotten a babysitter for the night! Forgot ALLLLLLL about the other guy until the next day! LOL! My Man is lookin' sooooo HOT!!!! He is down 50 lbs. so far. GRRRRRROWL!!!!
