i'm really self-conscious about my body and i feel like i look like ****. to put it bluntly. i'm 5'5" and i weigh 210lbs. i want a change but i really can't wait years for excersise and diet to change me unless that's all i can do. i can do it after the lipo but getting the self-motivation to do it before since i already feel like it's hopeless, is difficult to do.

Can anyone help?

first of all as a formerly obese guy I think you must really open your eyes to the reality around you.

Why are you overweight? Are your eating habits out of control? do you exercise to keep yourself healthy rather then just to keep weight off?

I know where your coming from in wanting the weight off and quick but im telling you, before looking into plastic surgery do it slowly and in a way your body likes.

Start slowly and learn to exercise with intense cardio and weight lifting. Find activities you will do and practically daily for the rest of your life. No plastic surgery can overcome bad habits now and in the future and it will all be a big waste of time.

if your atleast 18 yrs old you probably have been dealing with this for a long time. The ultimate goal of losing weight is probably far off for you but through good diet and exercise almost daily you can lose 2lbs/week safely. Learn about your body and much better you will look and adapt and you will be positive when you see this weight loss each week through hard work.

you will remember where you came from and take those habits with you so you probably wont let your weight get out of control again.
