Firstly, let me apologize for my lapse in blogging. Work has been crazy and I feel like I haven’t had time to sit down and put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard. Well, I’m back! So don’t worry, I didn’t fall off the wagon – still very much on, minus the blogging.
I had a revelation yesterday. I have been going to a plastic surgeon for the past few months for a Pyogenic Granuloma (a.k.a - Bertha) that had to be removed from my right cheek, then I had to have a cyst removed from my leg (a.k.a. - Bubba). So between Bertha and Bubba, I have been in to see my plastic surgeon quite a bit as of late. Anyway, yesterday was my last appointment and all I had to do was get the stitches removed from my leg.
After he removed the stitches, he asked if there was anything else that I wanted to talk about. I jokingly told him that I would like for him to liposuction about 30 pounds off of me. He turned a bit serious and told me that he would be happy to do liposuction, but the most that he could do in one sitting was about 8 lbs. Without being prompted, he saw through my next question – cost. He included that an 8 pound lipo would run one about $10,000.
I could have fallen off that uncomfortable white faux alligator skin chair. Who would pay $10,000 for 8 measly pounds?? Apparently, the answer is lots of people – WHO HAVE MORE MONEY THEN THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH!!!!
Then it hit me. I have already lost over 16 pounds. I have lost over $20,000 in liposuctioned fat. Sweet baby jesus. That makes me feel fantastic!!!! Plus, no recovery time!!! That decision seems like a no brainer… $30 a month for the gym with no recovery time, aside from heating pads and wine – OR $50,000 in lipo with weeks of recovery and a possibly side effect of death.
I have a renewed outlook for the gym and how fabulous it really is. The gym is cheap, fun (very loose interpretation), and cheap.
Today I challenge you to take that gym membership that has been sitting dormant for a year, and go to the gym! It’s much better then paying $1,250 per pound with recovery time.
Peace out from the biggest girl on the smallest legs.
XOXO
