I lost 182 pounds — trolls hate on my excess skin

She carries a lot of excess baggage.

A former fast-food addict in Pennsylvania is being compared to a “flying squirrel” after shedding 182 pounds left her with loose, baggy skin.

She regularly posts updates on her Gumby-like affliction to her 108,000-plus followers on TikTok.

“I heard it could happen but I didn’t know how bad it would be or how much I would have,” Kimberly Nestorick, 27, told SWNS. “Some days I still feel like I’m in my old body because of it. It’s a lot of skin.”

She added, “I feel confident when I’m wearing clothes but it wears a lot on my mental health.”

She reportedly has 10 pounds of surplus skin, which is the result of a fat-shedding pilgrimage that she began after realizing her lifestyle was unsustainable.

Nestorick said she had been overweight for as long as she could remember, but her obesity spiked after she became addicted to takeout food during the pandemic.

“I’d have leftover tenders for breakfast,” she said. “It was constant takeout. At one point I couldn’t decide between Chinese or chicken wings so I ordered and ate both.”

At her heaviest, she weighed 308 pounds and wore a size 28.

Nestorick said the “turning point” came after she experienced some plus-size problems while at an amusement park with her daughter, Evelyn, 4.

“I tried to go on a ride with my daughter and was told I couldn’t because the belt wouldn’t fit across me and it was a safety issue,” lamented the mom, who reportedly broke down in tears over the ordeal.

It was then that the she decided to make a change so she could “be around” for her daughter. In an effort to lose weight, she stopped eating fast food and started cooking every meal. She also hits the gym four times a week.

“I try not to drink my calories so I stay away from high-calorie drinks,” said Nestorick, who now weighs a svelte 126 pounds and wears a size small. “I add a lot of vegetables because it keeps me full.”

Her rapid weight loss caused an unfortunate side effect: She was left with an excess of stretchy, tarp-like skin, which has made “wearing clothes difficult,” among other issues.

“I have to wear shapewear every day,” lamented Nestorick. “I have to deal with rashes … It’s a struggle to keep it clean.”

And while her swathes of skin aren’t “painful,” she has to wear a “waist trainer” so they don’t interfere with her workouts.

It also initially affected her love life with her new boyfriend, whom she met six months ago following her epic weight loss.

“When I first met my partner, I was very self-conscious about it,” Nestorick said, adding she would cover her body with blankets and make sure the room was dark before making whoopie.

It reportedly took her two months to muster the courage to be intimate with the lights on.

“The first time he saw me without clothes on was quite scary,” she said.

Nestorick says living with her excess baggage has gotten “easier”: “It’s better if I don’t think about it or get in my head about it. If I think about it, I get insecure.”

Unfortunately, the ever-merciless social media commentary hasn’t done wonders for her self-esteem.

“I get hate comments online where people say I could use it as a parachute or they call me a flying squirrel,” said Nestorick, whose partner tells her to ignore the haters.

“My partner tells me I’m beautiful and to not let things get to me,” she said. “They hide behind a screen.”

Nestorick says fortunately she won’t have to endure trolls for much longer as she plans to get the stretchy skin removed — provided she can raise enough funds for a tummy tuck.

“The operation is between $8,000 and $14,000,” said Nestorick, who has started a GoFundMe to help her foot the bill.

In the interim, she’s doing her best to come to terms with the epidermal excess. “My confidence would definitely go up without it, but I’m starting a self-love journey where I’m trying to love it and accept it,” Nestorick declared.

She’s not the first to struggle with surplus skin.

In April, New York woman Claudette Hawk’s successful weight loss surgery left her with 20 pounds of excess skin that made it hard to have sex and even live her life.
