Getting Older and What You Can Do About It

Getting older hopefully brings many things: wisdom, confidence, and security.  Maybe it could also bring the nicer things in life, like good wine, fine foods, the car of your dreams, and a bigger house.  Getting older doesn’t guarantee these things, but it does seem to guarantee that we will gain a few extra pounds.  We might gain those pounds because of the wine and fine food!

The middle age spread seems to hit us all.  It could be for many reasons.  Like, when we get older, the metabolism slows.  What weight used to stay off fairly easily now sticks around.  It sticks around in places like your bottom, your waist in the form of love handles, your belly, your lower back, and even your face.

Getting older means dirty little secrets that we whisper to close friends.  My friend told me her dirty little secret: potato chips.  Mine is ice cream.  My husband’s is chocolate.  I actually have to hide my chocolate because, if he knows it is in the house, it is gone.  Now I don’t think these little secrets really are all that bad, except we seem to lack the restraint at times to control what we eat and how much we eat. 

I told my friend about laser liposuction and how successful it was for me.  She felt she needed to get her “secret” under control before she spent the money for SmartLipo.  I understand that, because I tried everything first before I went to Lipo and Laser.  But maybe what she needs is motivation.  What could be more motivating than to have the look that you want?  That gives me the motivation I need to keep doing what is needed to keep the weight off.

Getting older means we become more professional.  I used to be a waitress, on my feet all day running around getting customers yet another basket of tortilla chips.  People work in warehouses, mowing lawns, and construction work.  As we get older, we start moving up the corporate ladder, being the supervisor, being the salesperson.  Jobs that put us behind the desk with less activity…and more stress!  We eat without the physical activity that used to help keep the weight off.

It is summer here in Texas, which means a lot of heat.  When I am out and about around Humble, it seems like people are more covered up than you would think they would be in this heat, even at the swimming pool.   I think some of us more mature women have some areas that our metabolism won’t cover for us anymore.  It looks like others have a few dirty little secrets, while others are dressed in suits and ties that don’t quite hide that belly anymore.

SmartLipo is such a good option for this!  I have mentioned it before and I will again.  It was so easy (and much less painful than regular liposuction) to do SmartLipo because it is a local anesthetic and a laser to break up the fat cells and tighten the skin.  It worked on my love handles (thanks Dr. David Carpenter for the laser liposuction treatments!), and I know it can work for you.

Of course, I am not a professional, so call Lipo and Laser in Humble and let them fit you with the best treatment options for your specific needs.  Don’t let getting older keep you from looking like your younger self again!

Until Next Time,
