$1,250 a Pound.

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.
