LOL. I do the same thing sometimes, hold up my arm flab and try to see what is underneath. I'll probably get mine done at least. BUT I've always wanted to get them done at some point. Those suckers have always had some loose skin and stuff. As Jachut said, nobody outside of hollywood has a perfect body. Well, ok, maybe a few people do, but they are sort of unique. And even in Hollywood they aren't always perfect. With editing and the way they airbrush magazine covers and stuff it always just looks that way.
Personally, I kind of want my rate of weight loss to slow down. For one I am losing a pound a day (well more this past week cause I'm on liquids waiting for another surgery). Its freaking me out! And also because I am noticing some looseness and stuff in places where there wasn't that before. Thats cause I had fat there before. I think that slower loss sometimes helps with elasticsticy. Or so I hear. My mum lost about 120 pounds a few years ago and she is 35 years older than me. She doesn't have much loose skin, but she says she does have some on her upper arms and abdomen. I got a glimpse of her arms once and they really weren't that bad either. Normally she is really self conscious about that though. She always has been even before they had any loose skin. Just her thinking they looked bad when they didn't. But I am hoping that if she didn't get much loose skin-- and she doesn't really exercise either, but she does garden, than I won't. She lost the weight nice and slow too and she thinks that helped her. While I can think about getting tons of plastic surgery now just fine I suspect when the time comes I will be wimpier.
