Looking in the Mirror!

I have been looking in the mirror at myself with no clothes. I look worse than I have ever looked. In the past when I have gained weight. I used to be able to see some firmness under the flab. Now everything seems to be hanging.

I imagine what it would look like it I got a nip and tuck. You know at times it seems like that would be so easy. Just have them tighten everything up. Physically I would look better, but would it improve my health. Probably not!

My best friend went in and had surgery a few years ago. She had several surgery scars on her abdomen before she had the surgery. She hated the way her body looked. She spent $17,000 on plastic surgery. New boobs, tummy tuck, and leg and butt lift.

Was she happy? At first she loved her new look. Her scars looked so much better, so that was great for her. She told me if she had it to do over, she wouldn't do it. The pain was horrible. She had to lose weight to have the surgery. After the surgery she still has the same weight issues she had before. She still has a much tighter abdomen though. She got bigger boobs and now she struggles with finding a bra that fits properly. I really don't feel she is any happier with her body than before.

I could do lots of things with $17,000 that would make me much happier. When I think about surgery, I tell myself I can lose weight and exercise. Then I can take the money I saved and go to Paris. I love Paris! A week in Paris would make me happy for a while. I could probably get three trips with that money, that's about three years of happy. So unless I win the lottery and just have more money than I know what to do with, I probably will never have surgery. I also don't think the risks are worth the outcome,

I guess this means I am going to have to just work harder to make the woman in the mirror more to my liking. And I guess I also need to remember that she is nearing 60.
