A funny NSV and a slight rant NSV

My funny NSV... My friends husband who I usually only see at church asked his wife really concerned "Is Shelly sick or something? She has lost a really lot of weight!" She started cracking up and told him. She either never told him or he just forgot.


My rant NSV. Ok so going from 316 lbs to 125 lbs I obviously have a lot of loose arm skin. I live in the Midwest where some days it can reach 106+. I do NOT hide my arms. I see them as part of my journey, ya know my battle scars. People can be SO rude staring at them. I notice it most if I am in new places. For example, yesterday was my oldest first day of kindergarten and I caught people staring at them. In a way it's kind of funny, but then after a bit it gets kind of old. OK rant over. LOL  

Good for you! I too let my arm skin hang loose in public and the devil take anyone who doesn't like it!

You've made marvelous progress. congrats!

Oh, I can so relate to both of those!

I had someone actually ask me if i had cancer.... the arms, I have had several people ask me when I was "going to do something about that" (my high weight was 278, ticker shows consult weight).  People can be so rude.

I wear sleeve tops all the time and never give it a thought.  The other day I was talking about how this woman I was talking to, that I had never met before, asked me, no told me that I had lost a lot of weight.  That kind of took me aback.  I was wondering how she knew and my daughter asked me if I was wearing a sleeveless top since that was a dead giveaway.

Yes, I've noticed I now have wings and yes, I show them off in this West Texas heat.  I don't plan to have surgery.
