I wear sleeveless and short sleeved tops now as my arms look normal, obv not like madonna's but still very good. i think it also has alot to do with how old you are, how long you have carried the extra weight as I am only 35 i still have elasticity in my skin so that makes a difference too. My concern Cerulean, that whilst you have lost, this weight, that the only way you can do it is through taking food out of the occasion, I know this time you think you won't put the weight back on again, like last time, but you havent really dealt with the food yet, the losing the weight is the easy part, its the retraining yourself to eat differently for the rest of your life which is the tough part. Also dealing with the reasons you eat and why you put the weight on in the first place.
What I have found difficult is that when I was big I over compensated, I felt people didnt want to get to know me because I looked so bad, I was so big so I talked so much, to try and dazzle them with my personality. obv now I dont need to do that, they see me but I cant stop being so loud, and now I dont know how to change that, it makes losing 10 and half stone the easy part, how do you change yourself, how you converse with people, I had a bad experience yesterday, I had a date with a very goodlooking guy, the date ended early and as this was the fourth time it happened I was a little upset but before he left I asked him for feedback as to what it was that I was doing wrong. Turns out that I had already lost him from the first telephone call, that the way I chat was too intense and loud, that it really put him off. It was too late to turn back time to last week, and my chance with him was gone but I did sleep with him, even though I knew it was a one time thing, it was amazing, Ive never had sex being this light, my legs so limber wheras sex before when I was 15stone plus, and unfit was an uncomfortable experience, but knowing that he found me attractive and being naked which I have always been uncomfortable with was not a problem last night, it was safe sex btw
even though I will never see this guy again, I know that there will be other goodlooking men who give me butterflies in the future, I just need to make sure that I don't lose them at 'hello'
well done cerulean really hope you manage to maintain once you hit your goal
