Vaser Shape - It Is Not For Everyone

I had my 4th of 5 appointments today. Instead of having the technician do today’s treatment, the doctor wanted to do it herself.

It would appear that Vaser Shape is not the right choice for me. Although I don’t feel so bad since they told me that there’s quite a few people not getting the desired results. There’s no rhyme or reason to it.

We’ve decided that doing SmartLipo on the inner thighs is likely my only option at this point. I’ve heard of the stocking lift but I haven’t had any lucky finding a lot of information on it.

I’m not going to lie. I’m not super excited to go through the SmartLipo again. It’s not that I had a bad experience – I just know its going to be painful. I’ve put this body through a LOT in the past year.

I’m not super excited to spend more money either. I feel so poor lately

Just a lot to think about. As I was standing there having the doctor’s critical eye all over my body, I certainly wished I had taken charge of my weigh sooner. I try not to beat myself up too much for the initial weight gain – watching your mom die from leukemia at 15 is beyond emotionally traumatic and brownies were easier than conversing :-/ such is life, right?

But here I am now, working hard to keep a healthy active lifestyle that’s not centered around food or alcohol. No looking back – just focusing on the here and now

After Pictures Update

I am truly sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of my body as of late. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been working on my tan - and let's be honest, everything looks better tan! I've also put on a few pounds. I'm not sure if it's due to the stress at work or the sheer amounts of alcohol I've consumed as a result of that stress. Either way - I'm up to 187lbs, which is clearly not where I want to be. I've decided it's time to redirect my energy and start using exercise as an outlet instead of alcohol. It's not an excuse, but some days I just want to go out with friends and vent about all the things that are stressing me out - and as a society, what do we do to be social - either go to a bar for drinks or a restaurant for food. I did get my best friend to join the gym but that presented another problem - too much talking and not enough working out. Like with everything in life, it's

My Body - Today

I'm sorry I haven't updated pictures in a while. Not a whole lot has changed other than the fact that I started working out again and went from 165lbs at the time of the procedure to 180lbs today. I'm still in my size 8 pants but I can feel the difference. My stomach feels swollen all the time for the extra weight. No one else can tell because I still wear the body garment but I have got to do something to lose at least 10 lbs. I'm extremely stressed out right now in my home life which I think is a driving factor, but come the 1st I'm moving so fingers crossed, life will improve tremendously. Now this picture below, is with the flash on so it looks different than the one directly beneath it even though they were taken seconds apart. This is what I mean when I talk about dimples on my stomach or bumpy looking. It's not flat and smooth. Unfortunately, you never know how the skin is going to reattach itself to the muscle. You can see that

Lymphatic Drainage Massage Appointment 2

I went again today for another lymphatic drainage massage. The massage therapist told me that I had a lot of fluid congestion in my hips. I also have a crease right above my pubic area that just seems to be where my skin naturally folds when I sit down. It's so deep that when I lay flat all night long, it's still hasn't worked itself back to normal by the next morning. She spent a lot of time cupping that area, drawing the fluid to the top to pull out the skin. Today's appointment was pretty painful, I'm not going to lie. But it's also very obvious that I still have a lot of swelling and fluid in the tissue. It's been two weeks since I had the appointment. It usually takes about 3-4 weeks for the swelling and fluid to finally dissipate. One interesting thing that she told me was that our skin will take on the shape of things. This is why it's important for us to wear a variety of clothing, particularly panties. If you always wear the same p
