The Saggy Baggy Elephant and other Fables

Apr 21, 2009

I vaguely remember a fairy tale about a cursed princess who could either be ugly during the day (when everyone would see her) or ugly at night (for her husband).  It was left up to the husband to decide and he (as any fairy tale prince would do) said it didn't matter he loved her either way.  So the curse was broken and she was her pretty-self all the time.

I am not a cursed princess.  I am woman who has lost an extreme amount of weight.  Every day I look more and more normal to the outside world.  Most people are amazed at how much better I look.  Most people don't get to see me naked. 

I really thought I was prepared for the reality (you don't magically become a supermodel when you lose weight) but I am horrified at what I see in the mirror.  Not so horrified I want to stop losing weight but horrified.  Those 120+ pounds looked much better than the saggy, baggy skin.

I still have a lot of weight to lose but plastics are looking more and more likely in my future.
