Re JUSTINE

[Guest guest]

Hey girl what the heck are you thinking? We just talked about how you

lost a bunch of weight right? Didn;t you just tell me your body fat

was low like 23% so what is it you want to lipo? I have friends that

did it and regret it, first of all it is so painful, and second it

all comes back again anyway, unless you are going to keep on working

out, eating right etc. It isn't worth it, I think about getting a

tummy tuch allot too just because after having a baby I got the

stretch marks and all and no amount of situps work to get rid of the

little roll I have and I am thin, no fat, just skin, but hey ya know

I have just learned to accept myself as I am, not always easy and I

still get wrapped up in the boob thing cause I have no boobs pretty

much, but I wouldn't recomend doing lipo not after all the other

stuff you have been through, give your body a break honey...it is so

not worth it. Remember it won't make you feel happy anyhow, no matter

how good we look it does not necesarily bring happiness with it.

Hey ,

I've done a lot more thinking about getting liposuction,

and I probably won't do it. First of all, I don't have

the money to do it, second of all, I can't afford to

take any time off work, third of all, I'm just not ready

to deal with more pain. But it still is tempting. But

everyone is right. I need to continue to exercise and

eat right, and accept my body the way it is. My biggest

problem areas are my stomach, which sounds like I have

what you have --not really fat, just rolls. But

this really bothers me because I used to have washboard

abs prior to my implants. Everyone wanted to have abs

like me. And then my thighs/hips are another area. I

have love handles. Not bad, but enough for me to

notice. I also have to wonder if my body is just

changing because I'm getting older, and I simply am not

a young, 22 yo model anymore. And I know that as you

age, your body goes through physical changes (usually

for the worse).

So, I think I will hold off on getting lipo for now. I

will continue to exercise and eat healthy, and see where

that gets me. I am going to start taking Xenical and

probably dexedrine to aid in my wgt loss.

I'll talk to you soon. Thanks for your input.
