The skin

I did not think that was a good follow up segment  to trying to help Nicole lose weight. You follow it with a women who has lost 146lbs and has tons of skin hanging. You just know what that poor girl is thinking. Great, I give up everything I love to eat, my comfort foods, think I am going to look as good as my friends' body when I am done and I too get to have skin hanging down all over the place. I am suppose to have surgery and each time I see that, I don't want it anymore. Then I get scared of my weight again and think I have to do it. That was wonderful of Dr. Phil to help her with surgery but what about the rest of us watching, that was no solution to our fear about it. I don't want to look like that after working so hard to lose weight. Dr. Phil can't foot the bill for all of us who lose over 100lbs. My insurance will cover the surgery and then says sorry the skin is your problem to get off, no coverage there. I was sitting there praying for a real answer for the rest of us and felt let down. I was happy for her, don't get me wrong but I wanted a real answer for the rest of us watching, who have so much to lose and are afraid to end up with tons of hanging skin.
