I've been amazed at how well my skin has adapted and changed.. our bodies are amazing, and able to change and adapt all the time.. I was worried about this too at first... so looked into it...
1) I booked a block of weekly massage with some of the money I was saving on food and drink
2) I smothered myself with Palmers special skin cream for weight loss and pregnancy every night for about a month
3) the masseur said that I'd beneft more if I started swimming... didn't feel like it at first, but once the weight started to disappear, the thought of it became more attractive, and I've now been swimming from time to time.. getting on for 2, 3 or 4 times a week!
I don't know for sure how much any of these helped, cause I can't compare with if I'd not done them... but I have to say.. my stretch marks are now LESS visable than when I was over 16 stone, and I'm comfortable wearing shorter sleeved tops than I have been since I was in my early twenties!
When I was preparing for CD, I was scared, and I was thinking of all the scarey things that might happen... I am SO VERY pleased/relieved/happy that I have been doing this diet, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
All the very best to everyone, and enjoy taking one step at a time!
