Depression over rumors spreading after Lipo
Like many women ive always had issues with my body parts. My first issue was my hips- they protrude and are uneven but eventually I grew used to them. It's nearly 10 years later and I decided to have abdominal Lipo after a botched myomectomy, and I already feel self-conscious about doing it.
But today my boyfriend said my estranged brother told him I also had Lipo on my hips. I just discovered he's been saying this around town for years. Now I feel very raw and exposed about my hips. My self-esteem is at zero. What should I do?

Hi Morena,
I'm so sorry to hear what people are putting you through. :(
This is just my opinion, but I think you should probably consider the source. You said you are estranged from your brother, so it sounds like he is out to a.) get attention and/or b.) hurt you.
I know it is easy for *us* to say "don't let him get you down" but IMHO that is the best way forward. Your body is your business; whether or not you had lipo is no one's business. Deny it if you wish, or tell them it's none of their business. From the looks of your photo, I think many women would kill to be as in shape as you are anyway.
I don't know if this gives you any solace, but please know you're not alone in this. Rant away if you need to; we won't judge you here!
Best of luck to you,
--Sharon
