I can't ever get the body I really want. ):

[Anonymous]

I can't ever get the body I really want no matter how hard I work for it because of my past. I won't ever be able to get ripped abs, just the top 4/6 because I use to be 250 pounds and 6'1... All fat. Then I lost all the weight to 165 pounds and grew 2 inches to 6'3. Then I put on 20 pounds of muscle in 6 months and there is a huge difference but I will always have a little loose skin on my stomach than :(. Its an upset because I've always wanted to be really fit. I reached my goal of being able to dunk a basketball but I feel all lousy the more I think about it.. How do I get over it?

Yeah, that's because your body has a unique weight range that you're meant to be in, and it'll naturally pull you into that range (assuming you don't have any preexisting health conditions that damage your metabolism, thyroid, hormones, etc.).

Anywayyy, as for accepting it: Health and feeling good is more important than ripped abs! I'll never be skinny, but I know I'm healthy thanks to staying active and eating well, so what's the problem? There's a ton of pressure from society to have the "perfect body" regardless of how you're actually meant to be, so really what it comes down to is learning to not give a crap about that and instead appreciate what makes you unique.

Think positive thoughts.

Your body is the only one you have, you might as well be happy with it now that you're taking care of it. I can't get mine exactly how I want it either.

But seriously, if it bothers you that much, and it continues to do so for a long time, then save up the cash and have the extra skin taken off by a cosmetic surgeon. They aren't just for chicks. Many men have procedures done.

It can take a year for the skin to shrink back.

Otherwise, you can get the loose skin surgery
