As a 44 year old man who has been overweight 90% of my life, losing, and gaining... losing and gaining. I have come to realize that my skin, bengaled with stretch marks, is not going to snap back into beach body quality, no matter how much weight I lose. Luckily, being the heaviest guy in the room has relieved me of any vanity I might have had long ago. However I would like to look good for my wife. I felt like the extra skin will endure as a problem.
While in the shower today I had an epiphany. That extra flesh is nothing to be ashamed of. That is, in fact, a Badge of Honor, Courage, and Dedication. It should be for you too. Not everyone has the conviction to do what we do. If that skin stays with me for the rest of my life I will wear it proudly, as a reminder of how close I was to catastrophic health issues, and what it took to get me to where I am and where I will be in the future.
