Why do people prefer to have plastic surgery instead of losing weight in a healthy way?

Question

One my friends has recenty had a plastic surgery(liposuction).She is really young(23) and I told her not to do this,because she can lose that weight giving up on fast food and doing a lot of exercise.She did not listen to me.Now she's in the hospital and she has severe complications.She spent all that money and now she feels awful.I just don't understand why people choose to do this.I'm a vegetarian,I've been eating organic food for 5 years and I've been looking great and feeling healthy ever since.I think the natural way is the way to go.What do u think?

Answer 1

Easy; people are lazy, and feel entitled. That's the way of the world these days. I notice this question, and others who mentioned laziness, have gotten thumbs down; I guess people just don't like to face the truth; don't get me wrong. Not all who are overweight are lazy. Some take meds that exacerbate the problem, some have medical conditions which do, I realize that. The vast majority, however, just won't get off their butts.

Answer 2

I'm with you.

The line is always, "I've tried diet and exercise, but nothing works".
That's baloney, though, because there have not been overweight people in concentration camps.

If you cut your calories enough (and eat the right kind of calories) you lose weight. If you exercise you look, feel, and are healthier.

Another point on this: Is getting rid of some saddle bags worth risking a life over? If you die from liposuction complications they can write on your headstone, "Here lies someone without saddle bags."

We all know what is healthy to do and what isn't. If someone doesn't or can't do what is healthy it is because there is something in their life that shouldn't be there or something they need in their life is lacking. It could be their inner life, the life that is around them, or both. In any of these cases, plastic surgery isn't the answer.

The larger question everybody needs to ask, though, is how has our culture raised a group of young girls (and to some extent young men) who are so obsessed with the state of their waistline and thighs rather than working on perfecting their inner selves or doing something substantial in this world? Are they such sheep they are sucked in by the nitwit/no-accomplishments "role models" in the media? Are they so misguided they think six-pack abs will get them into "heaven"?

I think you, the friend of this young woman, ought to start a website that emphasizes good health and the risks of plastic surgery. You could have other people contribute and have your views heard. (In my area a whole hospital stopped procedures because there were too many complications. I know of a mother of young girls who had serious complications from it as well.)

Answer 3

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

I think it is unfair that people always assume laziness....I am overweight...I don't think i am fat....trust me I try to lose weight the right way, eat right exercise....it's just not cutting it for me....however surgery is not an option, I am at least very happy with who I am.

Support your friend instead of chastising......some people are not meant to be "skinny". Society has beat into us that all women should be a size 2. Shouldn't our main concern be healthy...both physically and mentally?

I wish the best for your friend.
