Ms. Readytobehealthy

This has been one of the hardest things for me not to do. Shopping is my passion and I have stayed out of the stores this year. I must admit that I broke down a couple of times and bought a couple of things but overall I stayed out of the store. I just can not wait until this time next year. Her I come, however I am already thinking about savings for the plastic surgery so we'll see. Going to the beach and rubbing my feet in the sand does sound very relaxing. All I can say is my time is coming.

I would need so much plastic surgery it's ridiculous. I am going to take sections at a time. I want to do the TT and body lift at the same time. Then I want to get a breast lift. Then I would need my arms done and thighs also. But I want to focus on this bottom stomach and getting it removed.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LOSS! And for being one month closer! That's AWESOME!

As for plastic surgery - I'm right there with you. I already have a plan to start visiting my PCP to document the inevitable rashes that will be underneath this lower stomach. I already get them if I'm not careful and don't take probiotics. I'm hoping with all this documentation I might get insurance to cover the TT. That'd be AWESOME. I'm also still hopeful it might retract some as I'm only 31. It'd be better if I were 22, but I still hold out hope.

By the way, when I saw the nut, I was down 5 pounds total! I still have 7.5 to go before September 6 or they cannot submit to insurance. SO... gotta be good and keep hitting that gym!

I'm paying off my credit cards and such now so that I can get approved for a surgery loan for plastics Hey, I'll be 27 or 28 and ready to mingle

I live in Orange County so there's really no stigma walking around 100 pounds with DD boobs. No, I will definitely need a tummy tuck. I think my thighs may bounce back, I got saddlebag type things on my upper thigh about 20 pounds ago so i hope they are the first to leave. (I always lose weight from my legs first to further accentuate the apple on a stick look).

I may also need my arms done. I go back and forth about fake boobs. Maybe a fillup for my flat tires I barely have boobs now so what I do have are probably going to get saggy. I wouldn't mind being a full B. But then again, boobs aren't super important, you can get a pushup and hide it pretty well. Spanx don't work for every outfit.

Ms. Readytobehealthy

CG thanks for the kind words. Great job on your weight loss and I think you will make the 7.5lbs. I will surely be rooting for ya!!!

Oooh my goodness Tess not the Joans!!! I think Joan Rivers face looks horrible. What in the world was she thinking. I think she looked so much better before all the plastic surgery.
