THIS.

If you get to that "point" with a guy and he turns his nose up at it, he can LEAVE.

I also agree with previous posters that if you are getting serious with someone, you need to sit down and say 'hey, i used to be 300 lbs and ive worked damn hard to get down to where i am and maintain it. i have some skin issues on my tummy that i'm a little shy about and i need to know if youll have a problem with it.' And if they answer that yes, they do, DONT sleep with them and the door can hit them on the way out. Because they suck.

You are worth more than some crappy guy that would care about that. In fact, they should like you more because of what you've achieved! Don't look at the skin as a bad thing, use it as a badge or medal for what you've done!!

This! I know I will have a pretty yucky belly apron once I reach goal. I don't care. Really. I mean, it is freaking fantastic to successfully lose 100+ pounds. Reaching that goal is amazing, and I refuse to let fear of the unknown stop me.

You will be amazed at how little a man is going to care about some extra skin. He's only worried about scoring!
