How do I stop being so afraid of loose skin? I want to start losing weight (in a healthy way) while I recover from an eating disorder. I plan to lose a total of 70lbs over the next couple of years, I'm 230lbs right now. (I'm 5'5" female). However, honestly, I like the way my thighs look right now and I like wearing bootie shorts. I'm anxious I won't be curvy anymore if I lose weight. I'm also anxious about loose skin making me not feel as comfortable in revealing clothing. How do I stop worrying so much about maybe losing my curves and having loose skin? Some part of me is afraid to lose weight due to fear of having too much loose skin and not being curvy anymore, and I wish that part of me would stop being so loud in my mind.
