Hello friends. Sorry I haven't been here in a while. Things have been quite hectic with the children going back to school. My little one started pre-K this morning. Very exciting. That means all of my children are officially "school-aged". Love it!
I have a question for those of you who are on this journey and have lost a significant amount of weight so far. How do you deal with loose skin? I am really struggling with this right now. It's mostly my arms and stomach. Ugh.....I know that I've come such a long way, but when I have to look at myself, I'm sometimes discouraged because I want to look different. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy about how I look now compared to how I looked 10 months ago, but I wish things were a lot "tighter". Strength training and toning aside, I am going to need surgery. Yes, I said it, SURGERY. Oh well....
Also, do you ever have days where you just feel "huge"? Well, I do and I had one of those days Friday. I'm not sure why I felt that way, but I did.
Saturday was better, especially after trying on capris in way smaller sizes and having them fit! Yay!!!!
I bought a nordic track fitness ball this weekend and I love it. I'm hoping to see results soon. I'm amazed at how many exercises I can do on that thing. We also got another set of weights so I'm incorporating that into my "ball" workouts. :-)
My diet is still veganish and I'm still loving it. I'm still incorporating raw foods into most of my day and it's going well. I hope everyone is doing well. I appreciate you reading and commenting and hope that continue to do so. You help me on this journey, more than you.
Love to all xoxoxoxo
Hi, Shontill! What a great blog! Congratulations on your journey and your weight loss. I saw below that you've lost about 100 pounds so far? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think you've brought up an important topic in this post. When you lose weight very fast, it's great for your health, but you've seen the skin results. Don't be discouraged. I encourage you to look at the path you've been thinking, and I wish you the best!
I wish I had some help with the loose skin because you know I'm dealing with it. The best thing I can say is that you have great days and bad days with it. I notice I'm not as concerned with it when I'm doing the right things (eating/exercising). I just have more confidence in general when I'm being healthy. But when I slide into some of my old habits, I feel bad about myself again.
ReplyDeleteBut YAY for smaller capris!!!
I'm interested to see if you have anyone comment who is doing great with the loose skin. Because I need the help too.
You're doing so well...keep it up!
