So I used to be big, have deeeeeep stretch marks from my initial weight gain but am now at my lowest weight in my adult life. I have loose skin on my legs and arms but I didn’t really think I had any on my stomach. Well, that changed today.
I took a few different pictures of my self in difference angles and noticed how different my stomach looked when I was bent over. My stomach skin seemed more stretched out, more than I’ve ever seen it really (albeit I’ve never really taken images in this angle).When I stand my stomach doesn’t look like this and honestly it took me by surprise.
I have to ask has anyone been able to tone down the appearance of loose skin around the stomach through ab work when the loose skin is minimal? Or is it only surgery? Or is has this got nothing to do with loose skin and people who haven’t had massive weight changes also experience this? Am I over thinking this and allowing my body dysmorphia ruin my day? Idek
Edit: it was my body dysmorphia. it’s so easy to forget how much my ideas of what a human body should look like have been distorted. Thank you to the 3 ppl who commented because it didn’t really take more than that to realize how much I’m over thinking this. Removing image links because I feel like I panicked too quickly about it and also anxiety
