Turkey neck syndrome and getting older...HATE IT!

[geoblewis]

I'm on slow approach to break past 300 lbs. Loving the scale, hating the sag, especially under my chin and on my neck. With every pound lost, it gets more obvious.

Been using my glasses and a magnifying mirror to scour my face for imperfections. I think I officially have more facial hair than my 18-year-old son. And I see that I need to make a hair appointment for a cut and color.

I don't think I'll be one of those women to whom the phrase "growing old gracefully" applies. Hate it!

Geo,

I know you posted this a while ago but, AM I WITH YOU SISTER !!!!!!

I could certainly grow a better beard than my 18 year old son, I have nearly more grey hair than not, so have gone from having highlights to having my hair dyed back to its natural colour, and I have a really really nasty feeling that at 320 lbs I don't have wrinkles, but think the fat it just puffing them out!!!!
I think that in a 100 lbs time, I could have a nasty shock coming???????

I feel the same way. I look at every imperfection and blow it up. I exspecially hate my neck and the lines that run between my nose and mouth. Those areas get worse with weight loss. I started loosing a few more pounds and can see it getting worse again and I tried doing a bunch of neck exercises to fix. My family tells me im overeacting and they dont see it but when I look in the mirror I can see it.
