In a world full of judgment, body shaming and reality TV, it\u2019s harder than ever for women to \u201clove themselves the way they are.\u201d I think by now, we understand we aren\u2019t doing this for men. Men never notice. We improve our appearances for ourselves. Let\u2019s be honest. When you look better, you feel better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will never forget the way our 20-year-old belly looked when we had the belly ring, or no stretch marks. Every now and then we pull out the archived Facebook photos just to remind ourselves what it was like in our prime. Then we watch TV only to see the \u201cperfect\u201d image of a woman looking strikingly similar to a walrus with a snatched waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Judgement Zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with wanting to improve your physical appearance, but I feel we are obsessed to a sickening point. People are financing procedures that put their lives at risk. They get nipped, tucked, and cut up. My personal limit to what I will do to myself stops at invasive procedures. I refuse to risk my life by going under the knife strictly for vanity. I have three children and it\u2019s just not worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-Surgical Body Sculpting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After my third son, I was heavier than I had ever been, and my stomach was unrecognizable. I disliked the appearance of my stretch marks. It didn\u2019t matter when guys would say, \u201cYou\u2019re a tiger who earned her stripes.\u201d Sir, you are not helping. Rawr!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first heard about non-surgical body sculpting, I thought it was too good to be true. So, after a bit more research, I finally decided to try a couple. I\u2019ve done fat-freezing, 4D Laser Lipo, and EmSculpt.  I was shocked to learn that these procedures WORKED. You just have to work with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting these procedures done promotes an entire lifestyle change. You still have to do your best to maintain a healthy diet, get good sleep, and take care of your skin. Some may argue that you only need to use the machines to exercise, but I still say nothing beats 20 minutes of old school cardio every day. You still want to do regular exercise and keep those joints moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body Sculpting Requires Discipline<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I recommend body sculpting if you have the discipline to do the work to see and maintain results. It\u2019s not magic. It only helps. Once fat is killed and burned, it\u2019s killed permanently. You have to make sure you\u2019re detoxing your body and avoiding the same mistakes you made to accumulate the additional fat cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It blows me away when I find out how much people spend for surgeons to cut into their bodies only for them to look the same way the very next year. Don\u2019t waste your money getting any procedure done if you are not in a mental space to really make a life change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sculpt has a whole plan I follow. I drink the Skinny Morning Tea every morning with apple cider vinegar and raw honey. In the evening, I\u2019ll have the nighttime detox tea. After I shower, I rub my booty down with the Booty Enhancement Cream. I rub down the flabby part of my arms, back fat and side rolls with the Fat Burning Gel. It burns, but it\u2019s a good burn. You know what they say about beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The areas I love hitting with the cavitation device and red-light therapy are my double chin, underbody and stretch marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body Sculpting Through Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aftercare for BBLs and different surgeries are strenuous. You have to wear a body contraption for a year, on top of lymphatic draining and other procedures. If you have discipline to do all of this, why not just exercise or try something a little less risky?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the thing about the surgeries is that the surgeons are artists. Depending on who you go to, you\u2019re going to look just like everybody else they created. I don\u2019t understand that at all. Plus, some people look like they had surgery. It looks unnatural. Personally, if I were to get surgery, I would not want you to know I got it. I don\u2019t want you to look at me and see surgery. I want it to look as natural as possible. I want you to think this is how I\u2019ve always looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With noninvasive body sculpting procedures, your body is going to look like your body just much more improved. You won\u2019t have those lines that liposuction gives you. You won\u2019t have scars. Your skin will actually be in better shape from all of the red-light therapy and skin tightening that\u00a0Emsculpt\u00a0gives you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sculpt Spa<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Just like any other practice, they are not created equal. You have to go where you trust the person. The only person I trust to do my body sculpting procedures is Sculpt Spa. It\u2019s located in Dearborn, Michigan and it\u2019s woman owned and for women only. Samia is a good person who provides a safe space for all women. I definitely recommend you check them out if you\u2019re going to be in town and want a sculpting treatment done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but her waist trainers are also amazing. She has so many different styles. Depending on what I\u2019m looking for, I choose the one that fits best. She even has thigh Scheppers, which are actually really cool. Every time I wear them my thighs are sweating by the time I take them off to collect all of her apparel. My next purchase is actually the limited-edition waist shaper picture below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before and After Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a before, and after of mine. This is me just three weeks after.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I will continue to keep you updated on my treatments. My next thing is that enhancement using cupping. I can\u2019t wait to share how that flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would love for you to share your body sculpting experience. If you have any questions, opinions or concerns please comment below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
