Waddle away

I had quite the full chin action going on at the beginning of this journey, as you can see in my before picture. My chin was BIG! I'm getting a bit of a waddle as a result. It doesn't hang down, but the skin hasn't snippity snapped back into place as much as I would have liked.

I've read that after significant weight loss, it can take 1-2 years for your skin to shrink back into place. I'm lucky that I have youth on my side, but at the end of this weight loss, when I'm hopefully down 2 bills, I am going to have to have some pretty snazzy skin to hope it all shrinks back into place.

If I'm not happy with the way I am after all this work (and waiting to see if it does spring back somewhat), I'm going to get plastic surgery, absolutely. I won't be able to truly feel like a thin person if I end up having a deflated fat suit under my clothes.

I know that's gross, but I'm just being honest. I still have a good 40+ (or more) lbs to lose, so I don't know how I'll end up. I know that the more I work out, the better my chances are, but if it comes to it, nip/tuck, baby.

Plastic surgery is one thousand times worse than the lap band surgery, so I'm not looking forward to it. I've met lots of people on line that have had it, and it's totally gross. You're out of commission for like 6 weeks, and there are drain tubes (gag), and bruising and nastiness all around...BUT, the end result is fabulous.

So we'll see, but I just want to mentally prepare all of you that this may be in my future. Deep breath. ;-)
