It's not about feeling better about myself, in my case (and certainly not about perfection or warped body image - yikes!). It's because I want to be able to wear skirts and dresses in these warm temps without hurting. And about not having shorts crawl up into... well, you know where they go. Having this done would probably not be something that any other human being would ever notice... it would just be about being physically comfortable. To tell you the truth, it wasn't near the issue in Ohio as I usually wore tights or hose with a skirt and it wasn't so flippin' hot all the time. If I'm going to live here (and I plan to!), I want to be as comfortable as possible.
Oh, and the issue is that I store fat on my inner, upper thighs.

I wish diet and exercise would work with this, but I've been 30-40 pounds less than this and still had the issue. (Just went back and checked pics from my leanest, strongest and, yep, it's still there!) I'm starting to think that having more muscle in my thighs is making it even worse!
Don't they say that the fat will never go back to LIPOSUCTIONED areas?
Other areas, and weight, yes... but not in those ones, is what I've always understood it to be.
