However, young lady (putting on my pretend mother face) you have posted pictures of yourself. You have a beautiful body, the cellulite you think you see, is only visible to yourself...

(Same goes for you too, Lurkette... )

Cameras don't lie


I so needed that. You are my official reality-check, in-the-pants-kicker.

LPM, she's so right - I read your post about your thighs and I'm like "What, is she on crack?!? She's perfect!"

I got a card a while back for a friend of mine that was a buddha meditating with a little thought bubble over his head that said "I hate my thighs." Even the most perfect being has something they hate about themselves.

The risks I was talking about are the ones already mentioned - risks associated with ANY general anesthesia (I am paranoid about going under and never waking up again), clots, tissue damage, etc. I know they're pretty uncommon, but even the slightest risk of something so catastrophic for a vanity issue that could either be fixed with some diet and exercise changes, or rendered moot by a healthy dose of reality re: body image issues, just doesn't seem worth it.
