O corpo da jovem Amanda Roberts passou por uma grande transformação: depois de uma cirurgia de redução de estômago, ela perdeu 63 quilos em dois anos.

Ela então teve a ideia de mostrar sua nova forma para incentivar outras mulheres a aceitarem seus corpos da forma como eles são.

“Não é uma barriga falsa. Pele flácida é algo real que acontece com as pessoas que perdem muito peso”, escreveu no Instagram.

Natural da Califórnia, Amanda iniciou uma campanha de financiamento coletivo para arrecadar US$ 7.500 para se submeter a cirurgia para retirar o excesso de pele.

“Não ligo se a minha barriga causa repugnância às pessoas”, disse a americana.

My Loose Skin is my Reality. And I just want to address some recurring questions/comments that people send me daily ABOUT my skin. ————————————————— My loose skin is not a deflated fat suit. It’s not a fake stomach. Loose skin is a REAL thing that happens to a LOT of people after extreme weight loss. Ive lost 150lbs in 2 years already. The skin is not something I can exercise or diet away. I can’t wrap it in some magical foil or rub some cream on it and make it go away. If I “lose another 100lbs” it will NOT make my loose skin disappear, I’d simply be an unhealthy 80lb person with even MORE loose skin. ———————————————- This is what I live with everyday. Some days it’s my favorite part of me, some days Its hard to live with it, but no matter what I may feel from time to time, I remind myself that this is the only body I’ll have, and it’s so beyond important to let the POSITIVE days outweigh the negative. ——————————————— And anyone who doesn’t LIKE my body (or for some reason thinks it’s fake?!? Yes- people think my skin is fake.) please take a moment and hit the block button, because I will NEVER stop posting about it and helping empower other women to love their loose skin too. I don’t care if you think I’m looking for attention, or if you think my stomach is the most disgusting thing you’ve seen. Just spare us all your ignorance and remove yourself right now. And to everyone who has supported me throughout my self love IG journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all so much. ———————————————- #tummylovethursday #wls #bodypositive #bodylove #effyourbeautystandards #excessskin #looseskin #bodypositivity #selflove #weightlosssurgery #selflove #fitness #fitnessmotivation #inspire #rny #vsg #extremeweightloss #rnycommunity #vsgcommunity #health #weightloss #plasticsurgery #body

Happy #TummyLoveThursday everyone! So today I wanted to highlight my recent struggle with exercising with my loose skin. I’ve done this once before with a video on TLT, but this week I wanted to try to capture it in a picture. ——————————————- When you have excess skin, a large belly, etc. exercising can be difficult, not only in a physical way, but sometimes even MORE in a mental aspect. Doing certain exercises, like jumping jacks, burpees, and even jogging can be painful and embarrassing. —————————————— BUT that doesn’t mean it should stop you from finding an exercise that works for you. Sometimes- as long as it’s not TOO painful- you need to work through that embarrassment of your tummy/body jiggling and just DO THOSE JUMPING JACKS OR BURPEES FOR YOUR HEALTH! Do those planks and let your tummy hang low- it’s just going to make you stronger cause it’s added weight/resistance! If I can do it 3+ times a week in a gym class (obviously WITH my shirt on, these pictures are just to show what’s going on underneath it all) you can do it too- whether it be at home or in a gym! ——————————————– You are stronger than you think- both physically AND mentally. So go out there and push your limits to break out of that comfort zone. And don’t let ANYONE tell you that you don’t belong at a gym, no matter what your body size or shape. All bodies are Gym Bodies- as long as you’re working your hardest at the gym! ——————————————— For those who will ask: -I’ve lost 150lbs in 2 years -I have approx 20-30lbs of loose skin -I cannot afford Skin Removal Surgery -I DO have a gofundme on my IG bio -My insurance denied covering the skin removal -All negative comments will be blocked -Loose Skin is not a “myth” ???? ——————————————– #tummylovethursday #bodypositive #bodylove #effyourbeautystandards #excessskin #looseskin #bodypositivity #selflove #weightlosssurgery #selflove #fitness #fitnessmotivation #inspire #rny #vsg #extremeweightloss #rnycommunity #vsgcommunity #health #weightloss #plasticsurgery #body

Random #beforeandafter picture because as I was getting ready to settle in for the night, I looked in the mirror and felt SUPER TINY for the first time in a long time. It’s nice to have a moment where my body dysmorphia isn’t distorting my body image. No amount of loose skin will keep me from feeling small after my 150lbs of Weight Loss! ???????? ——————————————- For those who will ask: -I’ve lost 150lbs in 2 years -I have approx 20-30lbs of loose skin -Highest weight: 330lbs (left) -Lowest weight: 180lbs (right) ——————————————– #wls #rny #weightlosssurgery #bariatricbabe #bariatricsurgery #weightloss #majorweightloss #extremeweightloss #transformation #sidebyside #gastricbypass #rouxeny #wlscommunity #wlsfamily #fitness #health #extremetransformation #beforeandafter #thenandnow #motivation#staymotivated #inspo #fitspo #wlstories
