Down 36lbs so far in 4 months, i looked in the mirror this morning and I see wrinkles :( Only way I can describe it. If I look at my belly , I still have a pooch there with fat, but it has turned soft & squishy and has wrinkles, sorta like a writhered old orange. :(
Same on my butt area where my upper thighs start LOL. Ughh. I take it as a sign that the fat that was deposited there is burning off and thus i have the extra soft wrinkly skin. Makes me feel a little better to phrase it that way.

I told hubby about it and actually had the nerve to show him my butt /thigh area ( i wasnt brave enough to actually show my belly to him) and he just laughed and hugged me, saying it will take time to shrink that down and not to worry about it. Told me to apply some type of cream or talk to my Dr about what I can do..I was like ready to fall on my butt that he actually hugged me and told me it was going to be ok....this is the same man that for the last 5 yrs made me feel like CR** cuz I qoute " Your belly fat turns me off"

I couldnt believe it!!!!! and he said that the extra wrinkles didn't bother him!!!! And that I was doing good. WOW

Now after our marriage being very rocky ( mostly me being unhappy with our "private bedroom situation) barely any sex sometimes months and months going by and nothing, my mind always thinking, he is turned off by my fatness and cant even make love to me..well the other night it happened..and I have to admit, I felt good. I mean my belly wasnt in the way as before and there was actually space between my belly and him lol..OK sorry too much info maybe but looking back, it felt good not to have all that hard fat belly in the way..

OK so now I am dealing with this wrinkled prune/ orange skin texture and still have some fat layers that need to go..I bought some Vit E oil and added some essential oils that are for toning and tightening the skin. I massage it to the areas every night.

Any other suggestions besides the obvious of having a tummy tuck when I am down to my goal weight. I sure as heck cant afford that and dont know if I want to go under the knife for that ( Ughhh I have seen videos and pics of the procedure and it grosses me out)

What are you all doing?? and what has helped??

Thanks for any sugestions
