Well for 3 weeks now I have been stuck at 11stone 1lb. For nearly a year I've hovered around this weight & so unless suddenly things start moving down again I think despite still being over weight & not at a healthy bmi I shall have to accept that at nearly 2yrs out I've come to a stop. Excess skin that I may never be able to afford or be brave enough to go through having removed whether I or the NHS pay I think is perhaps the only answer. Exercise & a strict focus on my eating may make a difference but I could also start to look ill & to thin & I think I'm at a point where I look & feel healthy physically even if the mental & emotional state are yet to catch up. Losing more weight won't resolve the excess stomach skin, the bingo wings & chunky thighs it may also make them look worse. I can get into most size 10's, I'm nearly 48yrs old so even if I could afford,have or were brave enough to have plastics would I feel or look any better? I'm not 25yrs old I've had 3 kids & 5 pregnancies I've abused my body in almost every way I can with food so unless the surgeon has a manic wand will I get the figure I can be happy with. Should I or can I be satisfied with my body within myself whichever path I go down?
