My Zerona The Zerona Laser Update - Treatment #3- the Halfway Point

Today was the halfway point in my treatments with the Zerona Laser. If you've been following my journey, you know that I'm dubious, but hopeful. I have been drinking tons of water (no bathroom goes unvisited by yours truly these days) and taking the herbal supplements, and trying to eat a healthy diet. What I have discovered this week is that I am a carb fan, and not having any in my diet is making me crave them every form. I did cheat and eat a piece of bread at the Accessories Show Press Lounge yesterday (I was hungry, and there were sandwiches!) and I did have a little bit of rice here and there with some sushi. But all in all, I've been pretty good, for the most part. Other than cutting out the carbs, I really haven't changed my diet that much.

Is the laser working? I think so. I'm not suddenly svelte, and I certainly haven't dropped a dress size, but my stomach looks flatter and I feel good. When I tried on a clingy dress this afternoon, it actually didn't really cling!

But the real proof would be after the today's treatment, when Yvonne took my measurements to see what kind of change there has been since Monday...if there was any change at all.

As I lay down on the table and Yvonne adjusted the laser, I felt a little bit of dread. What if there was no real change? I'd have to report it, and worse, I would feel like a total failure. I tried to think about other things, and listened to my iPod, trying to pick tranquil and calming songs (Gordon Lightfood, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Jennifer Lopez, Grace Potter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Rihanna).

Soon the moment that Yvonne ominously called "the day of judgement" was here and Yvonne whipped out her tape measure. I held my breath, and thought for a moment of sucking in my stomach. But I was here to see results, so I didn't cheat. To my amazement, I have lost more than an inch in all three areas of my stomach, the place the laser has been concentrated on. Yvonne told me that this was pretty good on average! I still have three treatments left next week, and apparently, the process of losing inches may actually continue (without more laser treatments) for another week after that.

Perhaps limiting carbs, drinking water, and taking nutrients on their own without the laser, would have resulted in some kind of weight loss or reduction of inches, but my body is really resistant. I might have felt less bloated, but this kind of result? Hard to imagine it was just from water and herbal supplements....I would have to assume that the laser is having an effect.

More next week!
