"           I don&amp;#039;t no why but every single comment that called me out for being fake and a liar really bothered me far more than it should. I think it&amp;#039;s because it took hours of crying and debating whether to share my story online and for others to see, posting the first picture online along with my weight for the world to see what the hardest thing I have ever done. Throughout my whole journey I have tried to be so honest about the whole experience and tell people it exactly as it&amp;#039;s happened so to be called a fake hurt a lot. And then when it came to posting about my lose skin well that was equally as tough. So here we go I hope this helps all the &amp;quot;non believers&amp;quot; - my face uncovered, yes my hair and eyebrows are a different colour as I&amp;#039;m going back to blonde, yes I have changed my phone from Samsung to apple and have moved house so the background has changed (it has been 11 months people, things change!), my skin colour varies in every single post as I get a spray tan once a week on a Thursday and often change the depth of the colour I get depending on what event I have that weekend, yes I have lose skin and stretch marks but I don&amp;#039;t feel the need to show them in every single photo I post online, I have shared my excess skin picture before so if you had bothered to click on my page you would have seen it and as for my ears changing in appearance?! Well I can&amp;#039;t see that haha so who the hell knows!!! Maybe weight changes ears lol. Hope this helps :D now lost 85.7 GO ME! A photo posted by Journey To Health (@simone_anderson) on Jul 12, 2015 at 4:54pm PDT     24-year-old Simone Anderson made headlines earlier this year by bravely revealing her excess skin to the world after Instagram critics called her weight loss photos fake. At the time, she had gone from 372 pounds to 184 \u2014 a huge jump, and one that she definitely didn&amp;#039;t take lightly. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t even begin to explain in words what this accomplishment feels like,&amp;quot; Simone captioned her photo. &amp;quot;With a lot of determination, will power, drive, motivation &amp;amp;amp; compromise I have achieved my goal.&amp;quot; Now, the New Zealand blogger is making the news again by documenting her next step: surgery to remove her excess skin, a common occurrence after massive weight loss. After disclosing her plans to her followers, she posted striking photos of the markings made my her doctor to Instagram:           Getting all my markings done with @drrepta_plasticsurgery A photo posted by Journey To Health (@simone_anderson) on Sep 14, 2015 at 1:22pm PDT     While this might seem like over-sharing to some, she credits this decision to her desire for an &amp;quot;honest journey.&amp;quot; She told People Magazine: &amp;quot;I needed to show that yes, I do have loose skin, and it&amp;#039;s actually a side effect of something I am proud of. Obviously, I can&amp;#039;t wait for it to be gone, but it&amp;#039;s not something I&amp;#039;m ashamed of or embarrassed of.&amp;quot; Not only did Anderson&amp;#039;s journey take her emotionally far, it also brought her to another country. For her excess skin surgery, she enlisted plastic\u00A0surgeon Dr. Remus Repta to perform surgeries including a tummy tuck, back lift, breast lift, and breast reduction. Here she is, all prepped and ready:           And it game time @drrepta_plasticsurgery so exited!!!!
