Hollow Pockets of Skin?

[shelly808]

It's a little strange how I am feeling.

I am excited to be losing weight, very excited. Yet for some reason I am a little apprehensive about my full breasts becoming pockets of skin.

Also, I have gotten so used to my larger size these past few years, that I can't imagine myself at my goal weight, feeling sort of scared...I don't know.... Its just a weird under tone that I cant quite put my finger on.

I get it. I started at 180- I'm down to 147 and twice now, I've had periods where I become apprehensive about the weight loss. I begin to think that I need to stop losing for a while and just re-adapt to the way I am now. So , for a few days, I eat a little bit more try to sort out my feelings and where they come from ( a lot of it is- if I lose more, will I be able to keep it off ?) Then the feeling passes, and I'm all ready to lose some more . Part of the feeling ( I think) is also that I've changed a lot since my mid-20s when I was last this weight...How do I be the person I am at 39- but wear the skin of the person I was at 25? I know that sounds off- I want to be more active, cheerful etc... but I don't want to lose "me"

Does that help?

I understand how you are feeling....for me its ... how do I live in my 45 year old skin at a size 5-7 again??? I have not been a size 7 since I was about 33 years old. 12 years ago.

As I am saying this I am feeling a little silly about it. Heellllooooooo!
How will I live??? ...... Vivaciously!!! Duh.

I am concerned about my boobs thou.

Get breast implants to fluff them up. I got my implants after my first child and dropping from 180 to 120, the grew a cup size but were long and flat. Since then I have had 2 more children, with the implants, I am not having any more children and my implants are about to be replaced when I lose this weight. They have to be replaced every 10 years and I just happen to be there. I can see the change in them, weight loss will make them floppy and saggy.

If you are just filling in excess skin, they will look natural and not fake. Nobody could ever tell I had implants because my skin wasn't tight when I got them.
