I can handle my belly sag (hides behind clothes) but what I'm struggling with (besides my arm sags yuck) is my thigh sag. I want to create a thigh tape. You know tape up the thigh sag and extra skin. Too bad I couldn't just staple it up. The idea of short shorts are not going to happen this summer and my bathing suit will have to have either a shorts type bottom or a swimdress/skirt option. Ugh.
MY thigh sag looks weathered, beatened, darkened, worn. I wear shorts or a cover-up until I jump in the water. If I walk on the beach, I wear the cover-up. I don't think there is anything I can do about the gross-looking sag, so I cover it!
Oh my...I know just what you are saying here, for sure. Tonight I was at the gym, and it was completely empty except for me. I was sitting on a bench, lifting dumb bells behind my head and I realized how my arms are really starting to look more muscular and less flabby. Unfortunately, that revelation only lasted an instant. When I checked my "bat wings" I realized they are worse than ever. I had huge arms when I was at my heaviest. Now that most of my fat is gone or shrunk, there is nothing to fill out all of that extra skin. It looks awful.
Isn't it funny how, if you're like me, we were so good at ignoring all of this stuff and now become almost obsessed with it? I knew my arms were huge but I would think about it for an instant and then cram myself into a shirt and off I'd go. Now I inspect every little inch on my body for funny, hangy, fat or loose skin. I poke and prod it and wonder if exercise will help it. It upsets me that I treated my body so poorly for so long.
Milmin - ditto to that. I think about that all the time actually. When I was larger, I never seemed to notice how terrible I looked. I don't like to look at older pictures of me anymore when I was heavier, because they look so awaful, and I am stunned at myself for never noticing. Let me tell you though, my self esteem used to be higher. I'm assuming because I thought I looked good lol, and for some reason never realized how much weight I had actually gained. So sad really. Now I hate so much about me! Grr..... I really do hope it gets much better.
I am sooo with you on this one. I can't seem to find a good way to cover them up and I am so anxious to get rid of the elephant-saggy skin I have going on there. I know it will take time, but dang! Be gone already!! I can't stand wearing shorts, but I know I will love it once they are firmed up...hopefully it will happen one day.
Omg...this is so true. I call it "chicken skin" on my inner thighs. Ugh....awful. I actually called my husband into the bathroom with me and said "WHAT IS THIS????" He cracked up laughing at me. What the...?? I couldn't wait to buy a bathing suit with no skirt this year, but THAT'S not happening. And my boobs deflated!!! No one's ever gonna see me naked again!!!! LOL
You do realize that 'thigh tape' or 'body tape' actually exists as a marketable product?
I am *not* suggesting anyone use it, lol. But a model friend first told me about it and I didnt believe her...she said its pretty common for runway models and others to use body tape to lift many areas, and one of the most common areas is the thighs since even skinny tiny models have cellulite!
I know exactly what you mean! Just the other day I was seriously considering using duct tape to pull my inner thighs up tighter so I would be able to wear my shorts. I noticed that my thighs stop walking about 1.5 seconds after my feet stop moving.
xty~ I am going to google that now and find me some
Yet another reason to love 3FC! We have no full length mirrors in our house so I didn't even realize it was an issue until we were at a hotel after I was already maintaining. Now, of course, I see it all the time. I love the sarong idea. I'll have to try that this summer. Bathing suits are the one item I still hate.
Thigh Tape, Lmao.
