Chick Chat with Karen Linamen

For years I thought, what’s the big deal with diet and exercise? I always figured if I got unhappy enough with my body, I could always hire someone to fix it, right? Kinda like when you’re living in a house and the floor starts to sag and you just call in a handyman. And if the house is really falling apart and a handyman isn’t gonna to do the job, you go to the next level and call a tradesman like a plumber or something. And if the job ends up being too big for a tradesman, you call in a general contractor. Simple, right?

So a couple months ago I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon. He declined the job and referred me to an architect and said, what with the amount of remodeling I’d need and all, I might have to look into a rezoning permit as well.

I didn’t think that was a good sign.

Besides, that sounded like a lot of surgery. Okay, I admit, at first I wondered if you COULD have too much plastic surgery, but then I met a woman who had a face lift, tummy lift and butt lift and now she’s two feet off the ground.
