It's expensive but in the two years since they've started doing it no one has had the cellulite come back. Of course, no one knows any of the long term health effects from it either, but they seem to be minimal. Apparently the laser cuts the collagen that is pulling the skin down for the dimples and then melts the fat cells so they smooth out underneath the skin. There is bruising and swelling for a few weeks and you should take the day after off work, but that's basically it. How weird is that!?!
Lasers are amazing.
But we may have already known that.
OK we did. If Star Wars and Star Trek have taught us nothing else, they've taught us that lasers are awesome.
Come on. Light sabers and phasers?? Those are *so* lasers! If you put them on their lowest setting they'd probably get rid of your cellulite, too.
The other day I mentioned to a friend that when I'm working I get up and out of the house in 30 minutes (or less) and he was surprised cause I "seem like the type of girl who would have to get up at 5 AM to be somewhere at 7AM."
First, I try to avoid having to be anywhere at 7AM... that's just unhealthy. :)
Actually, it was a rather nice compliment, though I don't think he was thinking of it that way necessarily...
It would be easy to construe the comment as "You seem really high-maintenance." But Nathan always assured me that I might well be "the least high-maintenance girl ever."
So here's how I'm choosing to interpret the comment: "You are an hour and a half prettier than most girls."
I think this is a hilarious idea. I'd like to measure beauty by time.
"Sunday mornings I look one-hour while most days I just try for a fifteen-minutes."
"I have this bag since Russia." ***
Ok, I might be a little high-maintenance. Nathan was admittedly biased.
For instance, I'm not into camping. I happen to really like electricity and mattresses and indoor plumbing.
But an air mattress on the back deck? Totally. I'd love that.
Oooooh, or this. I'd go camping if it were like this:
***Oh My Goodness!!! So, a long time ago in college someone found this website for a guy who called himself "Ill Mitch" and so many jokes rose up from this website, most notedly Kara and I telling each other, "I have this bag since Russia." It was a caption on one of his pictures that we loved because (as you may be aware) Russia isn't a time. We still say this to each other from time to time. Well, I just looked him up and it's all still there... Go here, and feast your eyes on the glory of Ill Mitch. Also take a moment to listen to his most glorious of raps, "Fast and Danger"
If you can listen to the whole thing I'll be mondo impressed, but you should at least try to make it to the first "chorus."
"I have two side. One happy. One anger. You can ask a stranger. My board is fast and danger."
I'm almost sure he isn't for real... but I will say this. I think Ill Mitch and Debbie the E-Harmony Cat Girl might be soulmates.
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
Oh, no. Knowing that there is a cellulite treatment that works is only going to mess with my already complicated body-acceptance issues. I've had cellulite since I was 11. Now that I'm 30, I'm about halfway to the point where I don't really care anymore.
ReplyDeleteOnce I was reading a diet book, and it was telling you to write down all the reasons you want to lose weight. And one of the suggestions was "I won't be so self-conscious at the beach." It made me really mad and I then defaced the page by writing "SO HELP ME GOD LET ME NEVER MAKE WEIGHT A FACTOR IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT I WANT TO SWIM."
Still trying to live up to that.
Lol. "You are an hour and a half prettier than most girls."
ReplyDeleteI feel like you have been holding out on me with this Ill Mitch stuff. Dang! That's some quality stuff. (And I DID, in fact, listen to the whole thing.) :-)
