Do you have suggestions on how to change the way you view your saggy skin?

Hello everyone. I hope all is well. I am so happy that you all are getting approved and having uneventful surgeries. The ones that are waiting for approvals and appeals and going through complications, my prayers are with you. I am now 20 weeks(5 months) post op and have lost 80 pounds. started out weighing 305 pounds June 6, 2002 (the day of surgery) and now weigh 225. I am very happy with the amount of weight I have lost, but I am very very depressed with my body. Actually I hate my body and I wish it would disappear.I am going through therapy and she has suggested things for me to do to start feeling better about my body, but it is not working. She even keeps telling me it is temporary ( which I know), but all of her suggestions are just not helping. I am 25 pounds away from 200 and when that magic number comes I will go back to plastic surgeon and begin the plastic surgery process. He said that he could remove 20 pounds of skin from me and it will take 2 months after plastic surgery request and insurance appeals before we hear back from insurance and by then I will be at my goal weight of 160-170. I am planning to have circumfrential tummy tuck,arm lift, breast lift, and inner and outer thigh lift.How are you all handling your skin and body issues? Am I the only one who hates my body now that I have lost a lot of weight? Do you guys have any suggestions to get over this hate and disgust for the way I feel about my body? Take care you all.
