so, i had a liposuction consultation. i know, controversy. i was quite intrigued about the whole procedure and have been researching it for months. whereas i am not a fat person. i've always been a lil overweight. or on the chunky side. no matter what diet, workout regimen (and i love to workout by the way) or lifestyle change i'm on...i've always had a buddha belly, lol. thats what my mom and i called it. i can tone my arms, thighs, legs, everything but this belly never goes anywhere. i did 1000 ab crunches every night one summer while being on a minimal calorie diet just as a test and what happened... not only did i not shed an inch...i had muscle definition on a protruding belly. who puts a six pack on a keg?! it was the worst!
i'm not ashamed of my size because i've been thirty pounds heavier. as well as i've been 15 pounds lighter than i am now. i can dress for my size and i'm even an average size i don't have to search for clothes. i don't even venture into the plus size side at all. i can comfortably fit a large. extra larges hang off me unless i'm in a juniors dept. which in all actuality works better for my short stature. but even at my smallest...buddha was still in the house. so i consulted with Dr. Jimerson in the Atlanta Georgia area about reducing the buddha.
I understand that liposuction does reduce the fat cells in that region and they never come back. however, it can cause other areas of the body that normally wouldn't produce weight to now produce weight. i had a breast reduction about 5 years ago so i noticed that my buddha increased after i lost my boobs. the fat that normally went to my boobs went to my belly. :(
So, it needs to go. My consultation with Dr. Jimerson was bright and early. I spoke with him and an assistant. I was excited to speak with him about his method of lipo and my expectations of the surgery. Do I expect to be Kim K after this? Not at all. I don't even want my butt done in real life. I feel like I would get stalked or attract creepy big booty fetish losers. I'm just simply doing it so I can live a bit of a healthier life because a lot of belly fat is dangerous more susceptible to strokes and heart attacks as well as...hell, I want my clothes to fit a hell of a lot better.
Do you know how many of my outfits have been ruined due to the buddha?! LOL. But...so far, I'm set for late January, early February. He quoted me for $4800 and I've already saved about $3300... so I'm mentally prepared to do it. I just want to get rid of it. My mom's all for it. As am I. Thats all that matters.
