The beginning of the end...

As far back as I recall, I have had weight problems!  In kindergarten I remember having a conversation with some friends, announcing the fact that I was 60 pounds! The average girl weighs about 46 pounds at that age.  Anyway, so it's been a problem!

I've always been self conscious, but it's never been the biggest concern of mine.  That is until I decided I wanted to join the military.  For the last year and a half I've been working with an amazing trainer! My diet has been really good! (Minus the State Fair visit!) However, for the last couple month, my size, my weight, NOTHING has budged!! My spirits have been very low, and there have been several times  just wanted to quit!!

There are only 2 parts of my body that haven't budged. My hips, and my lower abs! About a month ago I had the unfortunate meeting with a doctor who REALLY wanted to make me quit! He was an ass, he didn't care, and he was wearing a gold chain with a lot of chest hair...yeah, ew! He looked a little bit like a doctor pimp!

Well, finally today I didn't go back to the doctor, but I went to a "skin rejuvenation clinic." I've known the doctors for sometime, they go to our church, but the minute I walked in I felt very comfortable! Everyone was welcoming, the atmosphere was calm, and the couch was comfy :)!

We went back to the room, and doctor number one was wonderful! She took a look at my "trouble areas" and learned about ME. About my past. About what I wanted and needed!  Doctor number two came in (her husband) and was the same way!  They cared about me as a person, not if a law suite was going to be brought upon them, which is what pimp doctor thought the WHOLE time!

This procedure is unique and wonderful! It's like liposuction, however they use lasers, not knifes!  They make a tiny incision where they stick a small tube.  On this tube is a laser and it goes in almost a windshield wiper motion.  It MELTS the fat! Once they go through the whole thing, they simply suck it out!  Because they use a heated laser, the laser also works are a skin tightener.  So when the fat comes out, the skin slowly tightens and returns to normal!

A lot fewer complications, no real anesthetics needed, and I'm up and walking the next day! I get to start exercising merely one week later and my diet can stay constant!!  PLUS, it's more cost effective!

Having the opportunity to do this, really makes things feel like they're falling into place! This is the last step of what I really need to accomplish my goals! THE ONLY thing standing in my way are these spots, and now, FINALLY, after a year and a half of working out and dieting, my goals will be here!

Of course I have to wait a couple months before full recovery, but the second I get the okay, I'm in that recruiters office, signing my name on that dotted line...


HOOAH!!!!!!!!!!
