Hey!! I’ve gathered up some questions I’ve been pondering as a big woman wanting to lose lots of weight. If you’ve been where I am and have made the journey, please let me know what you’ve experienced (: Some of these questions are super intimate!
-
Do your nipples get smaller as your boobs get smaller? I worry mine won’t shrink and it’ll look strange.
-
Does your FUPA (relating directly to your vagina, not your lower stomach as some associate with your FUPA) get smaller over time as well?
-
Will a buffalo hump decrease?
-
What do you do in the in-between phase where you’re not fitting your old clothes anymore but don’t want to buy a new wardrobe just to have to do it all again when you’re at your target weight?
-
Is the in-between phase as hard to get through as I think it is? I’m sure some people feel that it’s a motivation to keep working hard, but I feel like it could be a huge struggle in the moment to see your body becoming disproportionate and awkward looking until you reach your target weight. Was that a struggle for you and how did you hype yourself up during?
-
Do people treat you differently during and after? I myself am guilty of being negatively jealous of people around me losing weight because I wish it were me instead, but have never said anything about it. Do you have people in your life that aren’t afraid to say those things to you, and how do you cope?
-
Relating to 6, are you treated better as a smaller person? Do you feel that after losing weight you’ve received more positive attention from strangers?
-
Do you have any advice for overcoming or coping with body dysmorphia and realizing that you aren’t as big as you used to be?
-
How do you hold yourself accountable and stick to the diet and exercise changes? My biggest struggle is getting started and staying on track, any advice is welcome.
-
Does your sex life change, negative or positive? Does your partner or hookup care about any loose skin?
-
Is it possible for the tightness or elasticity of your vagina to change when you lose weight? Or your ability to get wet and finish?
-
What do you do if you reach your target weight and don’t like the way you look? What if you preferred your larger self to your smaller self?
-
How does extreme weight loss affect tattoos? do they shrink or become distorted at all?
-
Is it easier to shave as the surface area decreases?
-
This one is very specific, but do your ankles become smaller? I feel like my ankles are big but the bone and tendon seem to be the same size, so I worry that my ankles will stay big as my legs get smaller and then it will look weird.
-
Do you have any areas of your body that seemed to not change or lose weight? Where, and does it bother you/seem disproportionate?
-
For those who have had their excess skin removed, are you satisfied with the surgery outcome? I’ve been finding that most surgeries make the body look very boxy and shapeless, which has scared me away from it. Do you think it depends on the surgeon, or is that just the way it comes out regardless?
-
Does extreme weight loss have any effect on your hair, positive or negative? Body hair, positive or negative?
-
Do you feel colder more often? Does it become harder for you to warm up? Do you sweat less often?
-
What tips did you learn along the way that made it easier that you wish you would have known from the beginning, if any?
For context, I am 19, overall healthy, 230lbs with a goal of 160lbs, but ultimately looking for a preferred appearance rather than number on the scale. My biggest insecurity is my stomach, which holds the majority of my weight, so a smaller stomach (but not flat!) would be my biggest accomplishment. I think my weight derives from large portions and frequent grazing.
If any of these questions do not pertain to you or you are uncomfortable answering, feel free to skip them! Thank you all so much and I look forward to the feedback (:
