The Attempt to Remove the Spare Tire - Sacramento, CA

How did your touch up go? Was it basically the same procedure repeated?

Years later, I stumbled upon my review and noticed I didn't provide an update. The results were great! I am about 10 lbs heavier now than I was 6 years ago because I had another baby a year ago and have more weight to lose. BUT my stomach still isn't huge. The weight gain has more evenly distributed so I'm really happy about that. Definitely recommend and it was worth it for me!

Keeping a food diary is essential in success, and trust me, the longer you do it, the easier it gets. Eventually you will learn all the vitamins, calorie intake, and proper portion sizes. I am not trying to offend you, but it is clear you haven't done all that is necessary to lose the weight first, but it is true that we have stubborn areas, which I have as well, which is why I looked this up in the first place. With that said, there are hormones in the foods we eat, as well as hormone disruptors in the products we use to beautify ourselves, which can cause fat to accumulate in our body. So, for instance there is estrogen in soy milk and sweet potatoes, so staying away from them certain times of the month can help shrink your waist. I eat estrogen containing foods about a week prior to my period until a few days after my cycle starts bc that is when estrogen is at it's low and testosterone is peaking (which is why we act different, more sex drive etc). The reason I do this is because the testosterone causes my skin to break out and these foods help with that. You probably know about b vitamins and boosting metabolism, but biotin and green tea are also fantastic supplements, and biotin helps with skin and hair as well...(That is what I meant by beautiful inside=beautiful outside. I have 3 really good friends that eat the same way, and we all look 17, no wrinkles, and
flawless skin. Junk makes you yucky looking almost imediately, which I noticed after eating with no rules during the holiday season. I looked like i had a hangover, even though i dont drink because the sugar and salt sucked the moisture out of my skin, my dark circles came back, i broke out everywhere even my back, and I gained 15 pounds. Now, just 11 days after New years, I'm about 4 pounds away from what I was. Losing weight is all about physics as far as energy use, and is literally a math problem, but how can you solve it if you don't know the value of your variables(food). Well now that I realized I'm a big dork, I need to fuel up.... Brown rice, kale, and collard greens with lemon and sprinkled with hemp seed for lunch with a side of homemade butternut squash soup! Again, it takes a long long time not only to like healthy food, but to shape your body with exercise, and you can, I have faith in you:) 1200 calories a day sucks, but just like any other addiction, you have to change your environment so you don't fall back into it. I used to go to the library where no food was allowed to study, and I got way better grades that way too.
Anyway, just trying to help steer you on the right course.
