Subject: Loose skin

im male. I weighted 266 pounds and i was 19yrs old. i went on the atkins diet, and within a year i reduced my weight to 154 pounds. i am now 22.
i have so much loose skin around my body its unbelievable, im disgusted to look in the mirror at myself when im naked. i havent had no intimacy with anyone because i look like a freek and am disfigured. i have less self confidence now then i had when i was fat because at least when i was fat, my body would have been considered normal for a fat person.

but now i look slim, but have all this loose skin, without my clothes on, i look like a disgusting mess.

What hurts the most is that iv realised their isnt nothing i can do about it. i did so much research into loose skin, i also heard about reducing my body fat percentage to under 10%.

i did so, my body fat percentage is 6 % and i still have nasty droopy folds of skin. i have used numberous creams and lotions for lengthy periods of time but hasnt made a single bit of difference (also tried copper peptides etc).

again the only real option is surgery, but to have a normal body just like everyone else, a timmy tuck wont be enough, i would have to get my legs, thighs, back, arms EVERYTHING done. and i seriously do not have the money for this kind of surgery which really makes me sad.

Its wot the diet industry dont worn us about...

im so depressed its unreal. :-( sometimes i feel like toppin myself, all i want is to have a normal body and go swimming and wear t-shirts during summer and most of all be able to be intimate with someone, bein able to let people hug me and hold me without thinkin wots wrong with his body (its happened to me on a few occasions where someone had hugged me and they felt the fold of my skin and they said ''wot the fuck was that, eeeer'') that really hurt me :-(

if only i never put on weight in the first place.. i was so hopefull when i real the ''myth of loose skin'' and stuff it really boosted my confidence so i worked real hard to reduce my body fat by weight training, creating muscle and aerobic cardio, and i lost a whole load of body fat, went down from 19 to 6%.
but the loose skin just looks even worse. i have muscles underneath the skin, and the skin just hangs, its so sad.

if only i could look normal......
