Anyone not happy w/way you look....not talking skin...

 I always thought I would be soooo pretty..... if i wasnt fat!  LOL I am 36 and after loosing 70lbs and being 20lbs away f/goal Im still not happy w/myself. Went out this weekend, and since I was all dressed up had my DH take some pics.  (I would post em, but dont have a clue how) Well, after they got downloaded I got to looking and dont like ANY of them!  I simply hate the way I look...my face that is!  I feel its way to square/round.... my wrinkles around my eyes are screaming botox.... I could go on forever but will spare you.  Just wondering if anyone else goes through this????  I guess some people such as myself...will never be satisfied!!!!  Thanks for listening.

 Me!  I'm down just over 50 lbs and my face is so wrinkly.  The rest of my body is too, but we're not talking about that here.  :-)    I had some botox around my eyes in January before my surgery, but I definitely need more now.  Unfortnately I don't have the money for more now though.  Sigh.......

 Momma2nicknmike...Yes Im saving as we speak .... LOL

I figured out the pics.... they are on my profile!

You look like a normal wieght person.  I never would have thought you had the surgery.

Hi Lynne,

You look terrific.............congratulations on your 52 lb. weight loss............way to go!!!

yes lawd... i HATE being this boney/skinny.. my goal was a size 12 10 at the smallest. To count my ribs, see my sternum, collarbones, shoulder blades I CANT stand. luckily my face isnt wrinkly though. i hate that my ass is no longer..

I hear yah gurl. I lost my booty ALSO!!! and that is like the sista trade mark what happened to my dunka dunk!!!! I am doing mad booty up excersises trying to get it back. My hips have gone MIA as well

RIGHT... Im like missing ALL my curves.. what exercises are you doing?

I go to Curves and do extra rep on any glut machines that have and I also swim with my kids and when in the pool I take one of those noodle things and step on it and kick out and move my leg up and down the resistance works the  booty muscle as well 

A lot of people -- most RNYers that I know in real life, in fact -- go through a phase where their face looks particularly gaunt and haggard (sometimes almost sickly), but it almost always softens out over time.  I certainly did. 

The wrinkles under the eyes and crows feet were bad enough, but I also had loose skin on my neck under my *****from where the huge double chin used to be) and the "parentheses" creases around my mouth were very pronounced and made me look like I had serious jowls (which made me look really old).  I had Juvederm injections over a year ago to address the creases.  During that year the skin on my neck has improved a lot with the creams I have been using and the wrinkles around the eyes have gotten better.  Juvederm is only good for about a year, and although I can see that the effects have faded, my face does not look as bad as it it did before I had it... which is good, because I cannot afford to do the Juvederm again right now!
