A little about my background: I'm a petite Asian...

A little about my background: I'm a petite Asian female at 5'1" and 102 lbs. I workout daily alternating between an hour of Insanity and T 25 workout. What I'm bad at is my diet. I eat way more calories than what I burn and that's probably why I can't seem to get rid of this annoying belly pooch. It's not really noticeable when I'm standing upright, but when I'm bending over, it becomes obvious. I've tried to cut down on my caloric intake and went down to 97 lbs once but the pooch was still there! Another area of my body that I'm not happy about are my thighs. I've always wanted a thigh gap but could never achieve one. I'm a little on the muscular side so my thighs are thick. I've tried Pilates to slim them down but it made little difference. Therefore, I've come to the conclusion that unless I drop down to an unhealthy weight by starvation or some other drastic measure, this thigh gap is not happening. Initially, I was planning to get liposuction but after seeing some bad outcomes, I've decided against it. I had my coolsculpting done on my lower abs and my inner thighs 2 months and 3 weeks ago. I figured I might as well wait for the results to write my review. A little about the procedure. When the applicators were put on me, it felt a little weird because it's basically a quick yet strong suction on your abs and thighs, I wouldn't even describe it as uncomfortable because it was not, it was just a different sensation. After a few minutes, the area Is numb. I've read some reviews from real self regarding the pain during and/or after the procedure so I was laying there waiting for it to kick in but there was absolutely no pain. I was so comfortable that I was falling asleep. My abs were done first, then my inner thighs follows. I was there for three hours but it didn't feel like it at all. After the applicators were removed, the treated areas were massaged. The treated areas were red but that dissipates after about 20 minutes or so. The only area I had bruising on was my inner right thigh, it was very small though about half the size of a corn kernel. After the procedure, I did my usual hour of insanity without any difficulties. I didn't experience any pain at all after the procedure, the treated areas were still somewhat numb for a few weeks but the sensation is only noticeable when I touch those areas. As for the results, I did notice a difference after 2 months, it's subtle but noticeable. I got the average 20% fat reduction. My pooch is still there but it's less noticeable and I actually have a thigh gap now! It may be just a sliver of a gap but it's something I didn't have before. Overall, I'm glad I did it and I went in with realistic expectations so I'm happy with the results.
