Before The left photo was taken before the injections, and the right photo was taken after the injections. Honestly, I don't think I can say that this alone gave me an incredibly dramatic effect. When wearing clothes, with the same outfit, the overall look definitely changed a lot, but I have really weak willpower and a personality that hates bothersome things, so I couldn't exercise at all.. Actually, even though my belly went in a lot, I haven't lost weight in an overall balanced way. And if you look at the after photo on the right, you'll see a part sticking out oddly and sharply; that's because the lumpiness hasn't fully gone down yet. About a month has passed, but I'm not sure whether I'm unusually slow to lose the lumpiness or whether this is normal.
Still, for now, I really hated how my belly looked like it stuck out compared with how much weight I'd gained, if that makes sense..? I don't know if you'll understand what I mean.. I'm the type who is very conscious of other people's eyes, so when walking around outside I always had to tighten my stomach so hard it was exhausting and keep it sucked in. Now I like that even if I'm only slightly conscious of it, I can prevent my belly from jutting out. And since I haven't lost weight all over dramatically, my friends only ask, 'Hey, did you lose some weight?' but my family, who see my bare body plainly, are surprised when they see it. Right now I've lost a little more than in that photo, and when I went down to my parents' place this holiday, my mom saw me and said, 'My goodness, the folds on your sides have all disappeared?' and seeing her surprised made me feel a bit pleased. I didn't exercise at all, but because the clinic set a target weight for me every week, I couldn't let my guard down for even a day. I kept thinking, ah.. if I eat this, won't I get scolded when I go next week? So I ended up consciously controlling my diet, and because of that my stomach capacity shrank a lot. Now I feel full quickly even if I eat just a little over half of what I used to eat. Thanks to that, with the procedure plus about a month of diet control only, I lost 5 kg and 5 cm from my abdominal circumference. Of course, if it had been a diet with intense exercise, I might have lost more, but for someone like me who has weak willpower and finds exercise and dieting too hard, unpleasant, or bothersome, I think this is a decent method, so I'm recommending it to friends who touch my belly and get surprised lol
