Really not digging my chin situation...

No crackers!  I'm not allowed - carbs!

God help me, I love a womanizing man!

Kim, my glittery friend,

I know what you mean about seeing all of our own saggy, baggy spots.  I have been noticing several areas on my own body that are sagging and wrinkling that I never would have suspected.  Plus, I've noticed that I'm starting to have jowls like Droopy the Dawg (remember him in the old cartoons?)

I keep forcing myself to look back at my old pictures and remind myself that back then at 375+ my skin was taut and firm - but that wasn't a good thing either! 

Keep on plugging away.  I was very surpised at how much my mother's face bounced back in the months after she lost all her weight from RnY.  There's still hope that some of the loose-ness will go away over time.  And if not - the plastic surgeons can do miracles!  I was watching an old episode of Big Medicine last night where they did plastic surgery on this gal who started out at 300+ and by the end of the show she was in a bikini! (She looked a little anorexic to me - but maybe I have a skewed view of other people's bodies, too - not just mine.)

Hang in there - you and your *****s) and me and my moobs are both doing just fine... and just think how much healthier we actually are - and that's really, really why we did it anyway...although I would still like to look like one of those Abercrombie models some day... not sure even the TV plastic surgeons could manage that for me - I think I'd need an actual fairy godmother for that

Enjoy your weekend!
John

John, you're so sweet and I appreciate it.  I'm very happy with how things are.  I do wish I was losing faster but then I've never lost quickly.  And I'd rather have this wobbly, horrific double chin than be 80 pounds heavier.  I can only hope that thinks will tighten up.  Lordy knows I've bought a few lotions and potions I'm getting ready to use tonight!

Well, when I see you I don't really see the wobbly chin, maybe simply because I am not looking for it, as it is not what defines you. We all have parts of our bodies that we kind of obsess about (for me is my rear end!), it is normal, and if when you are done with the weight loss, you want to do something about it, then, you can do that.

But, just keep in mind that what you see in the mirror everyday and disappoints you, is not necessarily what others see. I know people are looking at you and seeing this lady that gets more and more beautiful every day, and is dropping all kinds of weight, and has more confidence than ever before. That, is what is clearly obvious....not the small stuff.  HUGS!!

I love you my sweet friend!

When we see each other tomorrow night, you don't look at by flabby extra chin and I won't stare at your butt!  K?

Darn!  I missed another party!  I hate it that I can't just come in and go to some of these parties!  I hope Pity wasn't a party pooper and piddle in the potty.   When Pity starts getting out of hand, you have to say, "Pity, please!!!, your such a bitty, now get your kitty and leave.   I know, stretching it.  It's called Pity Witty.  We all love you Kim.  Muffin

If the plastic surgery will make you feel better about yourself go for it. I think you look wonderful! Your a beautiful woman and have a great personality too..

I have missed you on the boards.  I've been stuck too or in a "stall".  It seems like a once a month thing for me though.  I know we can't loose as fast as we did in the beginning....  What else have you ever done in your life to loose 80 pounds in such a short time????  Exactly!!!  I can sympathize with your wobbly chin even though I haven't noticed your's...only mine.  Mine looks worse some days to me than others.  I'd rather have my one wobbly chin than my double/triple chin and no neck under it all.  My head just looked like it sat on my shoulders!!!  I'm thinking your chin plastics would be fairly simple and maybe not too $$$.  I'm looking forward to seeing you guys this evening.  If you remember...bring some of your protein powder!!! 



GO POKES!!!

My saggy *****omes and goes.  About the time I panic that that's the way it's going to look it sucks up a little -- so don't be too quick to judge, maybe it's not as bad as you think !  I will miss you guys tonight.  But, if you're going to Rhinestone later, I may get to see you there!

You know, my dear, until you posted this I had not noticed it at all.  You're gorgeous!
