I'm a 19yr female who has recently lost about 60lbs. I'm struggling a lot with body image issues which is causing my mental health to plument. I have a pockets of fat on my belly that no matter what I do (exercise/diet) I can't seem to lose. I also have loose skin. I'm someone who exercises and eats healthy on the regular. I can't have kids so I don't have to worry about ruining the TT later in life.
