FLAB YUCK!

I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH MY FLABBY BELLY FOR A WHILE LONGER! EWWW!! PLASTIC SURGERY IS JUST NOT AFFORDABLE FOR ME RIGHT NOW BUT MAYBE SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE LIKE WHEN I WIN THE LOTTERY! LOL ANYWAY FUNNY STORY..... I WAS LAYING IN MY BATHTUB,WHICH IS A NEW PAST TIME FOR ME NOW THAT I FEEL THAT I CAN FIT IN MY BATHTUB, AND I HAD THE WHIRLPOOL JETS GOING AND JUST FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT. THEN I OPENED MY EYES AND SAW ALL MY FLAB FROM MY BELLY FLOATING TO THE TOP OF THE WATER. IT WAS GROSS BUT IT WAS WAY BETTER THAN WHEN I WAS HEAVY AND NOTHING ABOUT ME WAS FLOATING! IM VERY HAPPY WITH MY WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR AND AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I AM NOT AT MY GOAL YET AND THOSE NUMBERS ON MY SCALE ARE HAUNTING ME! I KNOW I SHOULD STAY OFF THE SCALES FOR AWHILE BUT THATS JUST NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME. I FEAR THAT I AM ADDICTED TO WEIGHING MYSELF! LOL BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IM PROUD OF MY WEIGHT NOW AND I TELL EVERYONE HOW MUCH I WEIGH NOW. ANYWAY JUST WANTED TO VENT ABOUT THE FLAB! HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE AND TRY TO STAY WARM!

You have a great mind set.  I am about 45 pounds from my goal weight and I have flab too. But I look a whole lot better in clothes than I have in a long time and I feel so much better physically and mentally.  So if the time ever comes when I can have some plastic surgery I would love to have my chin and underarms done..... the rest I can hide!  The hanging skin is a small price to pay for how well we feel with the excess weight gone.  Take care and keep going. 

Great attituce Karen. I share your sentiments. I love the new me.

Girl, I know exactly what you mean. I want a total body lift so bad I can't stand it. However, it's just not a realistic option for me because of the expense. Every week nearly I have the pleasure to take care of someone who has had this procedure done. I am truly happy for them but on the other hand am so jealous that it's not me. I can live with it though because you are so right, it is better than the other alternative.

IM SO THANKFUL FOR HOW I LOOK BUT I GUESS ITS IN OUR NATURE TO WANT MORE!! GOOD HEARING FROM YOU!

Kim, isnt' it awesome being able to fit in the bathtub again? I love taking a bubble bath.  You are doing great and such an inspiration. You will get those plastics when the time is right. I might when I win the lottery too. Just too pricey for me and I want to lose some more weight first.

I can't believe how much "extra" there is. Someone told me that you can donate the skin and get it done free/cheaper. Not sure if anyone has heard of this but I'm in.
