Cellulite, stretch marks and sagging skin...oh how I loathe them all.
Most of us have one of the three..If not a bit of all. The stretch marks from putting on too much weight to soon. The damned cellulite on thighs and behinds that we will probably never be able to get rid of..and even if you are skinny you still might get it....
Not forgetting the little bits of "sag" here and there some of us may also have from losing weight. I haven't got much of this yet, but I'm worried about my stomach and what happens when I lose weight around there, will it turn into saggy skin?
My personal expericences...
stretch marks:
I used to have a few stretch marks around my thighs and hips, but you could hardly see them, and they didn't really bother me. But now I have some on my stomach/belly area. I guess my body couldn't cope with the amount of weight I had put on in one go. However I've lost around 10lbs now and most of them you can hardly see them, so I'm hoping when I lose a bit more weight the rest of the stretch marks will blend in xD
Cellulite:
scream So your telling me that even if I lose weight I'm still going to have this? - Yup. Sad ain't it? There are creams and lotions and even things such as liposuction...but you will never get rid of it "completely".
It's worst on my thighs, I look down and I can see all the lumps and bumps and when I press a bit of the skin..orange peel gonk it's like it's everywhere. Losing weight does help reduce it though, but I have yet to see the results of this.
Sagging body parts xD
Since I haven't lost a lot of weight yet, I haven't come across much of this, however I do wish my boobs were perkier xD. At the moment I'm only really about a 20lbs overweight, (Although I do want to lose about 30-40lbs so I have a cushion that if I put on weight I will still be within the healthy range) and since I am still young, hopefully when I do lose more weight, most of the skin will tighten back into place.
