Loose skin after 42 lbs loss — dealing with it

Lost 36 lbs in 14 months. Feeling great but the loose skin is getting to me mentally. Stomach, arms, inner thighs. I know it's a 'good problem to have' but it's still hard. Anyone been through this? Did you get surgery? How long did you wait to see if it would tighten on its own?

Same! Week 25 and feeling the same.

I could have written this post. Down 34 lbs in a similar timeframe. The mental shift is bigger than the physical one, honestly. I feel like a different person.
