I reread the rules and I hope this is okay to post, but if not I apologize (and mods, please remove if that's the case - I wasn't sure if asking for photos was technically against the rules).
I lost 85+ lbs and while I'm f'ing THRILLED that I'm at a healthy weight and I don't regret it for anything, one thing still casts a shadow over the whole process: my loose skin.
I will tell everyone and everybody that loose skin isn't the end of the world, that most people really wouldn't know unless you're naked with them and that your health is WORTH IT, and I'm being 1000% honest. But I'll also fully admit that it's still a struggle to deal with, mainly because I know I did this to myself, and had I switched gears earlier I wouldn't be dealing with the skin sag on my belly that I have now.
But this post isn't to make us loose skin-having folks feel bad. In fact it's the opposite - I'm wondering if anyone else would join me in sharing a picture of their loose skin. Help me try to normalize loose skin, stretch marks, etc - our battle scars from weight loss, so to speak. We're stronger for it, and we shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed ❤

Editing to add: I definitely don't want this post to be all about me! This is an appreciation post for all of us. I just wanted to share my picture in the hopes that others would also feel comfortable sharing. If not, of course, please don't feel obligated to share ❤
