All this loose skin has totally killed my self esteem?

I'm 17 and I lost 50 lbs in 1 year. I'm 5'8 and 133 lbs. I have loose skin on my chest and tummy and it makes me so self concious and brings me down constantly. I even thought about suicide because I realized that I wont be normal like all the other other boys and have a nice body which is why I lost weight in the first place. If I told my parents to pay for a tummy tuck or whatever they'd probably laugh in my face. I really dont know what to do?

i would do push ups, sit ups, and get muscle...you need to show them you have it all..
Reply:You probably just need some muscle tone. You're a young guy and your skin should still have some elasticity. Just start lifting weights, running, and eating enough protein.
Reply:I know exactly how you feel. I recently lost 72 ponds and now i have an unsightly swath of loose skin on my chest and around my tummy ( and stretch mark form having kids) I am only 24 and the idea of having to go through the rest of my life hiding under tons of clothes, ( especially after all that hard work) is almost unbearable. Whats even worse is that when i was really heavy, my mom bribed me to loose weight saying she would pay for a tummy tuck. Now that i have lost double the amount of weight she said i had to loose, she has refused to pay for it. I can't really hold it against her. The operation is very expensive, but it hurts all the same. Good Luck. Don't let this undermine your motivation to be fit and thin.

I have a friend that is in the same situation. Since you really can't do anything about it don't dwell on it. In time you will be able to get what ever body treatment you want for yourself. All you have to do is set this goal for yourself. And keep it to yourself if you think someone will laugh. It will onlly give you stregnth knowing that you are in control. You can work and "save money" towards the tummy or body lift. I'm not sure with one you might need. In one year's time you could probably save up for one of them. Keep that in mind %26amp; DON'T give up hope!
