Being a mom to two kids, my body was just never the same after I gave birth. I look at the clothes I used to wear before I had kids and I can't help but send myself into a spiraling wave of depression. How in the world did I fit into those clothes before? Or better yet, how in the world did I let myself get this big?
My stomach is my main concern - and just looking at it is enough to make me upset. Worse, when friends of mine whom I haven't seen in a while ask me how many months I'm pregnant, it feels like rubbing salt on a wound.
I've tried several diets, diet pills, and I have a collection of exercise videos that I lose interest in after a few weeks since I don't get the results I want. I have to admit - with two kids and a house to run, I simply just do not have enough time to exercise or hit the gym, but I still wanted to lose the extra inches I felt was not part of me.
In my search of something that would give me the desired results with minimum effort, I came across smart lipo, plus a doctor who performed the procedure. Through online research, I became informed that the procedure is very non invasive and it's not like the traditional liposuction wherein a big needle is inserted into the area you want done and the fat is literally 'suctioned' out. Everything is done by laser, save for the anesthesia that is applied to the area being treated.
I had the treatment done, after being evaluated and assessed by the doctor that I was fit for the procedure. Like any surgery, the doctor first had to determine whether I was physically fit for the procedure or not. To be honest, the anesthesia was the hardest part - I mean, who likes getting needles stuck in their bodies, right? The rest of the procedure was pretty much OK, except for a tingling sensation every now and then.
Two months later, I love the new me! My stomach is close to how it was before I had kids, and I am so comfortable around people and even when my pictures are taken sideways. Now, when my husband tells me I look beautiful, I believe him, because I think so too!
