Unsafe at Any Size

Yes!  I wore a tank top today to my kickboxing class.

This is a big breakthrough for me.  I’ve been working out for months and months, and my shoulders look great.  But my arms look terrible, and always will unless I have surgery to remove the floppy skin.  No matter how many tricep presses I do, that skin is just all streched out.

So, I can either continue to try to hide them because they are not plastic-perfect and try to deny the after effects of having weighed 300 lbs at one time, or I can be cool when I excercise and look as good as I do.  The skin on my arms is scarred, torn internally as the result of my weight.  There was nothing shameful then, and there isn’t anything shameful now.  Though I do wish it was smooth.  Sigh.

As momentous as I feel the tank top to be, nobody in my class seemed to notice it!  My new short sassy haircut got raves, though!  I’ll get a pic soon.
