How much of my stomach is fat/loose skin

ekim2016

as I lose, the loose skin is getting bad around my tummy line. Oddly, I am wearing smaller waist pants, but the gut hang makes them feel tight when it never used to being bloated out big and higher.. hah guess it's a trade off looking better in clothes and being thinner

This is a picture I put up on my fb/instagram feed today with the following:
"Ok so here I am in my gloriously sweaty candid workout mode. And although there are parts of my body I hate that's mostly now down to the excess skin (especially on my belly). Most importantly there are parts of my body that I now love. I love how strong I am and especially how strong my legs look and actually are. These legs can lift more than my bodyweight in both squats and deadlifts and they can complete marathons. I also love how defined my arms are under the loose skin, just look at the muscle in my forearm. And I love that just visible at the top of my tummy before the loose skin hides them I have actual defined abs. There may come a day when I decide I want the excess skin removed but for now I'm happy to just learn to love the body I've worked so hard to carve out of the fat."

It's taken me a while to get the point where I'm starting to love my body, excess skin and all but I think it's something we all need to work on. (I've had 6 children and lost 142lb over 18 months so my skin has some recovering to do. But it is improving and will hopefully continue to do so over the next couple of years).
And yes most of the excess tummy skin is tucked in to my shorts.
