Is Cosmetic Surgery worth it?

I've always been a fan! I've said for years that one day I fully intend on getting a tummy tuck and a breast lift. lol
But then, there are moments like this that make you wonder how worth it looking physically perfect really is.

Is a perfect body or face worth risking your life for?

I stared death in the face and I lived!

For the very first time in my entire 27 years on this planet, I ran 4 miles!!

I didn't walk, not once. And I even finished in a respectable 47 minutes 24 seconds. That's less than 12 minutes per mile!

I almost cried when I hit 4 miles on the treadmill. Just last year I couldn't even run a full mile. Now I'm up to 4! It was a very surreal moment for me.

Holy Moly

I am a member of a site called www.thegrocerygame.com. Basically it tells you what items are on sale each week at certain stores and then matches up coupons from the Sunday paper so you get the item at the lowest price possible.
Today I went to a few stores to get my coupon items. I was shocked at my grand total!!

Total Spent: $87.79

Total Saved using grocerygame: $95.88 !!!!!

I saved more than I spent! That is just crazy to me.

Diet update

I've done WW for about 7 weeks now. I also run daily (1-3 miles) and do weights, so I know I have lost more fat then the scale says I have (b/c I've built up muscle and it weighs more than fat.)
Anyway, this is not a huge change, but enough of one that others have started asking me if I've lost weight and everyone keeps telling me my face seems thinner!
So, I don't have a full body shot (yet - I'll look for some) but here are some face ones.
Picture #1: First day of my diet
Picture #2: Last week (almost 10 lbs lighter)
