    What happened to that pill they were working on?
    You know, the one that helps you if you're working out, and kind of works out for you if you don't like to go to the gym?
    I want that. I don't want this.

    I had a mouse that looked like that once. We thought he had a tumor. It turned out he was super constipated from pounding too many Cheerios and we had to feed him mineral oil for a week to get him to crap back down to normal size.

    All this to say, that procedure sounds hideous.

    At first glance at the accompanying photo, I thought that the new alternative to lipo was going to be surgically inserting mice into the patient's thighs and then letting them eat the fat.

    Scientists ALSO believed that by the year 2000, we'd all be flying around in personal jetpacks and colonizing the moon.

    I am still waiting for my jetpack.

    Look, scientists: It's great that you're smart and come up with all of these things to defy nature, but.... I don't know. Have you ever read "Leiningen Versus the Ants"? Because nature definitely won that one, and I think it might be coming for you after it hears about this tomfoolery...

    I can't tell you how often I've thought to myself, "If only surgery could make me MORE rodentlike."

    Plus, wouldn't it be easier just to suck the fat out and leave it out? Seems counterintuitive to be putting it back in.

    Before you organize your next campaign, did you read your PM?

    Wow, okay so.. every one of these articles has just made me eyeroll (at the cankle trend). But for some reason after watching that video, it made me want to actually inspect my ankles.. and now I'm worried. WTF? I was okay before and now I'm paranoid! Thanks cankle trend!

    In reply to Morning Shows Face Off On How To Solve The Cankle Crisis
    I was the guest on the show this morning. Watch it again, if you can. Look at how fit I am, I have been working out for 20 years. I have had fat deposits around my ankles regardless of how much exercise I've done. (The picture above is not of my legs, the one that CBS morning show aired shows my picture). I understand your viewpoints, but understand mine. I am a very confident woman. I am a happy woman. Like you guys, no one understood why I would get this surgery done. My husband, my friends, my family...They didn't get it. They said the same thing just wear pants. And I did. For most of my life. I love fashion and I always wanted to wear skirts and dresses I saw in magazines and catalogs,but I was definitely not doing it because of how conscious I was of my lower legs. That didn't control my life, I still wore beautiful, fashionable pants, and long skirts, but I wanted to wear a knee length dress. (As superficial as it sounds). Just like other people choose to improve on their appearance, for example, going to the gym to build muscle and transform their body to be more attractive, I wanted to change the way I looked, the way I see myself and believe it or not, regardless of how far I went to achieve my goal, I am happy with the results and do not regret it for a minute. It wasn't a huge lipo procedure. It was a sculpting procedure, just to shape the ankle and calf to have more of a taper. I am happy I did it.
    I am happy with who I am. Even when I was uncomfortable wearing skirts and only wore pants or boots, I have always been a happy person, out there having fun with lots of friends and a good job. I have a great family and I have God in my life. I am completely aware of current events in this country and in the world. I watch the news, I'm aware and I have a life. I am concerned about the state of our economy, the idiot we have in the white house and what the rest of the world thinks of the state of our nation. I take these things seriously, Big deal, I did a 10 minute segment on a TV show to encourage other people who are self-conscious that this surgery can give them the results that they would hope for, prop the doctor, get free creams and facials, and get pampered. Stop being so judgemental of other people, how about just understanding that what you see as trivial could really be a issue to another person. Besides the show embellishes, I never said I went through YEARS OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. That was the show (typical media tactic) making the situation more dramatic. Yes it was a concern of mine but I saved my money, got the surgery and got on with my life. Only now, I wear more dresses and cute shoes.

    @UlulaniHaetism: I think we're much more interested in judging the atmosphere that made you self conscious about fat deposits around your ankles than judging you for feeling you needed to do something about them.

    Can we reappropriate the term "cankle" with other, more awesome qualities than lack of definition between ankle and calf? My ankles are Cool. They are Cankles. My cat has ankles. They are his Cankles. My ankles will cut you up with your ankle hate. Cankle.

    I'm tryin.

    I hate to say it but as I walked through the Meat Packing District on my way to work all I could think as I saw woman after woman in gladiator sandals was whether or not THEY had thought about the cankle problem. That article got in my head!
