The author of this site was a proactive college student on her way to becoming a great novelist. She studied journalism and photography at California State University of Northridge where she found her voice under the tutelage of great professors. An individual with an admitted self image problem, the author spent the majority of her years dieting with little consistent success. However, her focus took a drastic turn when she decided to have liposuction surgery, a decision that changed her life forever. Today she is dedicated to researching and sharing the latest information in the area of diet and weight loss, as well as exposing the fads and scams that can cause unnecessary pain to those living with being overweight. The author  advocates researching physicians, their experiences and their references, as to avoid the emotional devastation caused by “fly-by-night” practitioners. Although the author now maintains a healthy weight through diet and exercise she strongly supports cosmetic surgery when it follows an intense effort at a healthy lifestyle and is embarked upon with all of the necessary facts.
