Extra Weight, At-Home Liposuction and You

The following entry is an email exchange we had yesterday. Because we have actual jobs and live in different boroughs (Melissa: Manhattan; Jordan: Astoria), we only get to hang out a couple times a week. To keep in touch/pass the time at work, we email throughout the day.

As we previously mentioned, we come from a more - we’ll say “well fed” – part of the United States. Living in NYC, there are a lot of really pretty, really thin women. We are not these women. Although neither of us are by any means fat, we definitely would love to lose a little weight. I’m just saying, we don’t want to end up on “The Biggest Loser” next season. I think this is the first of many posts of such an exchange.

Melissa: Thanks for so much fun!!

I am so hungry. Mama Bear needs food.

Jordan: I need to lose 20lbs asap. My jeans are so tight. And not in a cute way.

Melissa: You ran 8 miles yesterday. Give yourself a break. The weight will come off. (not implying you need to lose any)

I may lay in bed with a beer tonight. Just to be classy.

Jordan: Let's have a lemonade stand to raise money for lipo?

Melissa: Just to raise enough money to buy another vacuum. We can use the one we have for at-home lipo. Ya know, save a few bucks.

Jordan: Boom. Done. I love your Midwestern proclivity towards penny-pinching.
