Why-Loose Skin....???
It really boggles my mind that some people think that you can lose 100lbs. or half your size and NOT have skin issues????
Some even seem surprised or appalled that weight loss could lead to loose skin....some have even mentioned they would rather NOT lose the weight because they didn't want loose skin......
Really???
I just thought it was obvious....I never expected the elastic in my stretched out underwear to come back?

Ha! I don't need the extra drama. I have excess skin and thinner hair, and I look fabulous!
I see it as I always had excess skin. Now I just don't have the fat filler.
I'll cut it off one day, but I'm not going to worry about it now. I had that excess skin for over 20 years. My focus is on weight loss.

Yeah... I'm not so sure that I agree about this sounding "surprising."
Granted, electronic communication's biggest flaw is that tone can often be misinterpreted, and this is true of anything... emails, texts, forum posts, or anything else.
But it did strike me as being a bit of a snide comment, at the very least.

True, but the reason the tone seemed a bit snide to me was because of the underwear stretching analogy. The post would have made just as much sense without it.
Not arguing with your interpretation... just saying I can see where some might think this post was meant to poke fun.
