Well, STOP FOR NOW anyway....You look fabulous. You also look like a well preserved almost 40...vibrant, sexy and very pretty but take a good look at that husband sitting beside you. He loves you as you are and that in itself should satisfy the self esteem boosts you seem to need. I know you and your husband are both reading these boards so give the man a break. I can't remember the words, but there's an adage or poem that ends with "come grow old with me". Think about it. Keep up your present program and I have to wonder whether you will have this man in your life with whom to grow old. Don't worry about growing OLD..worry about growing UP.
Some of us (cosmetic surgery wannabes) agree with you - UP TO A POINT - but we don't all have the luxury of having the funds to take the route you're taking. And I also think most of us wouldn't take it as FAR as you're taking it. How many boob jobs can one person have for crying out loud?! I was fortunate enough for most of my over-30-life to have the majority of people think I was about 10 years younger than I am and trust me it was a feel-gooder...so see, I really do know where you're coming from However, after going through 5 back surgeries and then 2 yrs ago having lung surgery in which the surgeon screwed up and damaged my ribs when spreading them (and herniated 4 more discs in my back), I have hated life. I went from looking 50-something to looking 80 something and it's my 24/7 pain that has painted a very vivid and not very pretty picture on my face. Wanna talk about low self esteem?! I leave my home about 3 times a month, mainly because it hurts to move/walk but also because I'm embarrassed to look so old! Sheesh, people open doors for me! It gets worse-there's nothing I can do about it. But this message isn't for or about me..it's about YOU and the fact that I (and it seems the other posters on this board) think you're messin' up, big time. You're always going to be pretty; that's apparent but you don't need to look your daughter's age. You seem intelligent - use that intelligence and the advice given you by your loving husband, Dr. Phil and the surgeons he had as guests on the show. And then Lisa......for crying out loud......give it another 10 or 20 years before you even consider additional surgery. Or I can send you my picture and you can say "there but for the grace of God go I".....and then of course you'll run to the operating table!! ;->
(Original Air Date: 04/19/07) Some moms don’t want to grow up, and others don’t want to grow old. Dr. Phil talks to women walking on the wild side and tries to rein them back in! Aubrey says her sister, Elise, would rather drink and party every night than take care of her 8-year-old son. Their mom, Heidi, is raising Elise’s child and says Elise wants to be a parent only when it’s convenient for her. Elise promises her family that she’s going to change, but what will it take for her to get her act together? Dr. Phil has a shocking proposition for her. Then, Greg says his wife, Lisa, is obsessed with plastic surgery and worries that it’s becoming a disease. He says she works at a plastic surgeon’s office just to get a better deal on surgery. Lisa, 39, admits that she’s spent nearly $100,000 on cosmetic procedures so she can look as young as her 21-year-old daughter and wants even more work done. Can Greg convince his wife to stop going under the knife? Talk about the show here.
