So... I've been going back and forth with this...

So... I've been going back and forth with this surgery for months! I scheduled the first time back in April 2016. But so much was going on. I got a new job, new place, there was no time or money for this surgery. I also started to second guess myself and convinced myself that I can loose the weight on my own.

Well.. that HASN'T been happening! It is so hard to juggle work, school, life, and your weight. And I can't even imagine how difficult it would be for those of you with families!
So.. I'm going to see Dr. Stone at Friva Medical Center in West Hollywood, CA. I'm from Phoenix so had the consultation online. He was so friendly and funny! I'm so excited. I just booked my flight and hotel today!.

I'm kinda beating myself about getting this surgery. I'm trying so hard to love my body for what it is but its so hard. Its easier said than done. I will be getting lower and upper abdomen liposuction. This has always been my problem area. I love my thick thighs and butt but wish my waist was smaller!.

I'd say you'll never regret doing something for yourself! Plus with the weight off, you may find exercising easier and more enjoyable?! I am struggling with the idea of this surgery as well, but am hoping to have it done this winter.

Awesome! I'm so excited but nervous. I feel like I'm making a mistake! Do you have your surgery scheduled?
July 28, 2016
Not yet! But I'm going in tomorrow morning for my second consult. Hoping to schedule something at the end of tomorrows appointment!

It's totally normal to feel nervous. Just make sure you have all your research done. It helps with the anxiety and nervousness because you know what to expect. It's not a total mind, body, and soul transformation but it's a start to a happier, healthier and more confident lifestyle. :)

Working out!

Soooo I've been working out a lot since I've scheduled the surgery. I don't know if it will make a difference but I just want to jump start on getting my dream body! I know that lipo isn't going to do it completely. I know I have abs underneath this fat so I figure if I work them hard the next three weeks maybe I'll get better results after the lipo? I've also been working the rest of my body too! I think it would be wierd if my stomach is all small and tones and the rest of my body is flabby! So hopefully I can tone up a bit before August 18th :)
