Re: Roll Call9/27

Good Morning, All

Funny about the topic for the day... my hubby told me a couple of days ago that after I get to goal, if I wanted a tummy tuck, he would find a way to pay for it. (we don't have lots of money ) I had mixed feelings... mostly because I have seen how they do a tummy tuck and it is major surgery, so I really had no intention of ever doing it. He came up with this idea on his own. And DH has always been a genuine, attentive, generous lover - so I know that he's not repulsed by me or anything... he said he wants me to be as proud as I can be about my body. I guess just the fact that he offered to let me have one tells me that it looks like I need one? But hey... I am going on 48 years old... I carried over 200 pounds of weight on my 5' 2.5" frame for many years... I ain't going to look perfect at goal! I was at peace with that... I don't care if I can never wear a bikini... it's not important to me. It does kinda "niggle" at me that he offered... maybe I will change my mind at goal, but I doubt it.

Since its lipo that we are talking about..I don't know that I would do it..it looks so painful.. I had gallbladder and foot surgery all in the same year..and I swore then I would not do another surgery unless it was life threatening..lol

Just got home from aerobics and spending my zillion dollars at the grocery store.. Of course the Zucchini they had looked terrible so I have to go to another store later to pick some up.. I hate when I have to do more then 1 store..GRRR

Re: Roll Call9/27

there are definatel risks with every surgery... death is definately a risk... should never be considered lightly... and seriously, if you do die, then it's just not worth it. It's weird to me that so many 'quacks' out there talk people into cosmetic surgery and they don't even have the proper training or credencials... have to be very careful that you have a legitimate doctor who is well trained... no kitchen table surgeries people... promise me that... okay?

No need to worry about that with me, Liz! I'm not sure that I would let even the best surgeon in the world do it to me.

Afternoon STACers. I've never been interested in lipo--too freaky. I've always wanted a tummy tuck but the drains scare me. I've also had my gallbladder removed and surgery in general just makes me cringe. If I'd have to have surgery then I'd need to be desperate--lol.

Today is my birthday. I'm officially 32. Just like I thought--we aren't doing anything at all. I don't want cake and I bought myself a gift so I'm all set.

Re: Roll Call9/27

Very interesting thread today. Last night I was reading Chapter 21 in DANDR. It is titled "The Psychology of Weight Loss: Behavioral Changes for a Healthier Life. Very good information!!

While instant gratification is the way of our nation I know for me & I suspect many of us here the ultimate goal of this WOE/WOL is dealing with behaviors that contributed to being overweight. For myself the most important part of my journey is to deal with alot of emotional issues that have contributed to my low self esteem, self worth & to learn how to stop abusing myself with food. It is a merry-go-round that I desperately want to get off!!

Have a good night everyone. I don't know if anyone will read this but I feel good about what I wrote. I would encourage you to read Chapter 21.

Thanks for listening,
Glenda who is definately going to perk up "the girls" when I get to where I want!!
