laureelee,
well, I'm unsure about loose skin. some think it's real, some don't. I think I've done some reading, and I think there's probably just fat underneath that isn't supported by muscle because of fast weight loss. I've decided to try to focus more on building muscle, as before I thought I didn't need to, thinking I already have enough, but I seem to always forget about building muscle, even though I know it's probably the most important factor in weight loss.

maleficent,
I appreciate that.
but I've been in an up and down emotional state for the past three years, depending on how I feel about my body. growing up obese is a hard experience, and I know that how I see things is often directed by what I know from my past. I guess I was just looking for advice on how to not obsess over weight loss and how to accept one's body type while still improving on one's body weight.
