Excess skin isn't that bad...

I am noticing things changing lately again and I am realizing that the excess skin that I hated and thought was just SO bad really isnt. There have been times when i said i have national geographic boobs because they are long and hang down now instead of sitting up pretty like an 18 yr old who never had a weight problem. Same for my belly skin) But we all know after having gained so much weight that the skin is going to be stretched. Now I have had a LOT of people tell me "oh just go have plastic surgery" and all I can say now is NO! Because I have learned a few things..1 I have to be comfortable in my own skin which means not bashing myself for having it 2 I did this to myself and this is a reminder (some find it a cruel one) But it is shrinking. 3 The more I take care of my skin the faster it heals. 4 I do not want to hurt like I know I will after having plastic surgery to "fix" this 5 the most important one of all It doesnt really matter!
I have spent the last 4 years obsessing about my excess skin and how "bad" it was going to be after surgery and after weight loss but I predicted wrong! I love the body I have today excess skin and all. I do use oils to help a little with skin shrinkage but we all know just like weight loss it didnt happen over night and its not gonna change over night but It will change over time. So at this point I am positive that as long as I take care of my skin (boobs too) with supportive garments like spanx and keep it moisturized in time it will "go back" to where it should be but it is going to take me having complete faith in my bodies own ability to heal from damage I spent a lifetime causing. Who knows maybe that will mean I will have a nice body by the time I am 50 and heck who wouldnt want that lol. I dont know about anyone but when I look back at my old pics from when I was 18 and 21 and 25 and now and all I see is me getting younger LMFAO
