Hey folks, I’ve (37F) had an apron developing since I was 15, even though I wasn’t obese at the time, just a bit overweight. Guess I have a predisposition to it. It’s been my most hated part of my body for as long as I can remember. It ruined my perception of myself during my pregnancies and finding underwear that makes me feel sexy has always been a challenge. No matter what I wear I feel it gives me a visible bulge. I’ve realised recently that this is what contributed to my BD.
There is 37kg difference between these two pics and on the left is the lightest I have ever been as an adult at 85kg. I’m 5’6”. Whilst I was so excited to finally make it out of the obese BMI I just couldn’t see the weight loss at ALL because all I could see was that I still had this big horrible apron. The loose and bumpy skin doesn’t even bother me it’s just the way it hangs over my thighs. I had worked so hard for 18 months to lose this weight and was so disheartened that I ended up ballooning back to 102 within 6 months.
I started getting back on track again a few months ago and am down to 95, in a much better head space and intending to work steadily down to 70. For those of you who have the panniculus issue - what should my realistic expectations be about it when I get into a healthy weight range? Is it gonna hang around until I can afford surgery or will those extra 15kg make a big difference to it? Any other tips for dealing with it in the meantime appreciated, both mentally and physically.
