Comments
Wow, is that for real?
I feel so old fashioned. When someone starts talking about "healthy" and "New Year's resolutions" I'm thinking, you know, things like eating nutritious food and not smoking and exercising more... not paying a bunch of money to carve, inject, or suction out parts of my body for vanity's sake.
Not that there's anything wrong with cosemetic procedures, necessarily--but there's nothing virtuous or healthy about them either.
Hmm.. maybe I had this whole "resolution" thing all wrong. Next year I resolve to eat more cheeseburgers and cupcakes and go on more Caribbean cruises!
Ugh! I hate that term, "body contouring." Sometimes I want to apply LipoDissolve directly to these marketers' brains. Oh, wait---someone must have beaten me to the punch.
My naturopathic doctor and I were talking about the lipoDisolve, and her question was "Where does the fat go once you 'dissolve' it?"...Yikes! It's truly frightening.
