Loose skin - no more!

I'm currently 40 pounds lighter than my highest weight. Over a year ago, when I got to my goal weight, I could lay on my side on the bed, look down, and see the loose stomach skin puddle up on the sheets. It was freaky, and weird, and kinda gross.

Last night I did it again, because someone on the 3 Fat Chicks maintainers forum posted about loose skin, and does it ever go away? The answer for me is that Yes, it does go away! The skin and subcutaneous fat still dangles a bit. But what's to be expected of things with no real structure?

I think I look fabulous. Standing in the bathroom, I can see the line between Rectus Abdominus and Oblique muscles. That Rocks!

Seriously, the ribs creep me out.

Oh well, better keep on truckin'.



Soon, I'll be Paris Hilton, with a tiny dog and everything. Oh wait, I think my cat would eat it.

Permission to trash

I've been working on throwing away food. I know I don't have to clean my plate, but I tend to, and that means I've been eating well past full in to stuffed territory. Not healthy. Yesterday, I left 8 or 9 homefries on my plate. They were good, but I didn't NEED them. Last week, I ate 3/4 of my entree and was plenty full - I really should have stopped earlier, but I wanted to "get my money's worth."

Baby steps. At least I'm not licking the plate.
