I lost >40kg fat. How much more to go? 3~5kg? How to deal with the excess skin? Can I even do anything about it?

How to deal with the excess skin?

Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't compare yourself to other people -- compare yourself to who you were back when you were 40kg heavier. I've also lost a massive amount of weight and have loose skin. Even though I have far more loose skin than you do, it truly doesn't bother me, unlike my thinning hairline which bothers me more than I care to admit... ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you! That's a good way to think about oneself. I'm "optimizing" my body and that's the last negative part that I could improve. Compared to myself, I've achieved so much!
