Interesting visual. That was kind of what I was picturing in my head.

I'm sure the dexa scan would be the only way to accurately asses fat vs skin issue but I've discovered a cheap home way to get some idea where your extra skin is really just extra skin. Baths!! I don't have a shower in my apartment so I'm forced to take baths and fortunately have a nice large tub. I've discovered that the skin just kind of floats away from my body, any fat just kind of floats with you. It's not fun to see this hideous skin floating around me but it's better than seeing fat.

When I was at the point of not knowing what was fat and what was skin, having a DEXA scan done was very helpful to me. If you go to my page I didn't write a blog post on it. It definitely made me see that I had less fat than I thought. Because while skin doesn't weigh a lot and has great volume .
