Low Rise Jeans - Shar-Pei Effect

I am beginning to think that Low Rise jeans are near impossible to wear without plastic surgery. I bought a couple pairs today and there is no way I can get away with wearing them unless I have a very baggy shirt untucked. The roll of skin and loose fat just sits right on top of them. Anyone else starting to find that the skin is just getting in the way of styles you want to wear? I won't do plastics until I am stable with my weight for at least 6 months. I probably won't hit my goal for a good 6 months or more too so I am looking at least a year or more away. I guess today was just the first time I really noticed all the hanging skin. I bought a new floor mirror and couldn't help but really check myself out from all angles. Top of my inner thighs and lower abdomen are the worst. Looking more like a Shar-Pei .. lol. I wish I could just chop it all off now! Still hovering just over 200. Come on onderland.. lets go.

I know just what you mean. Depending on what I put on I sometimes feel like I could just when I look in a mirror I guess all we can do is pray the days go by fast enough so we can get all our excess weight off and have the ps so we can look better. I am planning on going back to work in March. I have been disabled since 1994 and I want to try and get "back out there". It's the only way I'll ever be able to afford to have a tt and a boob reduction I keep thinking about all the years I've spent at home because I felt so bad. I never realized how much my extra fat contributed to those feelings. It's like I flushed those years down the willadeegee

Hello Stayce, Ya I can say the same too... I got into my box of clothes I had in storage last week and tried on a pair of Kacki pants the other day... and OMG I looked in the mirrror and I said, Yepers that fat roll has got to go... I was actualy grossed out by looking at myself in the mirror nake... at the gym... But I just say I got to keep it up and go to the gym... and one day i will be the Hard Body Bomb... I am staying in the 380's mysellf but I have lost 3 lbs. in the last day.. so I think the gym is helping out as I am not getting those hungary appetite anymore.. I feel like I am going back into the hibernating mode like just after surgery.. I did .. Take care, Tom

I know how you feel. I am 7, yes only 7, pounds from goal. I look great in clothes, but definitely have the shar-pei look naked! My stomach, bat wings, and upper thighs have got to go!!! Lots of loose skin. Hopefully I can get something done about it. Judy

A plastic surgeon visited our support group and said that TT was usually the first thing people want.......... and I am thinking........... NOT ME BABE, it's gonna be the thigh lift thing............ these thighs are starting to jiggle like jello........ they never did that before, and they just might be able to cover a recliner with the skin ............ naw, maybe a pillow, but heck......... it is beginning to look really nasty to me......... like droopy socks but WAY UP HIGH!
