Fit People Know Monday is Never Coming

Narcotics are the scourge of the poverty class.  Alcohol is a killer of the working class.  Self-delusion is the addiction of the middle class.  While fat people delude themselves into believing they can continue starting over on Monday and eventually succeed, critical thinkers recognize this common psychological trap.  The core belief is, “I can eat the same and get different results.”

Fit people force themselves to grow up emotionally and take control of their minds and bodies.  A fat person on a diet who is only semi-committed to success is no different than a school kid who refuses to concentrate on his or her homework, or a child who goes kicking and screaming at the first sign of having to exert self-control.

Hanging Skin - when will it go away?

I know this can be very disgusting, and I am sorry for that. (I will also spare you the pictures) Since I have lost the 80 lbs, and since I am still losing fat even though not as much weight, I have skin hanging in areas of my body. Some of this is obviously in my belly, but also in most areas of my body including my face, legs, etc.

I am trying to do the caliper test and it shows that my body fat is lower than what the official BMI measurements say, but the hanging skin always makes me feel like I am still quite a bit overweight. I still have a belly, although it seems to get slimmer each week.

What I am wondering is.... when will this start to subside? When does it start to tighten up? I have read that it takes some time, but I don't know if what I am experiencing is still fat, or just hanging skin. I have also read that drinking a lot of water helps, and I think I am drinking plenty of water to do this.

I am trying to do some research on this and see if what I am experiencing is normal and expected, or if there is more I can do about it.

Any thoughts or links would be welcome.
