Laser Removal

In about half an hour, our babysitter Megan will be over and I'll be headed off to the air force base for laser removal of my freckles. I thought it would be fun to post before and after photos. I probably have 2 people max per week log onto this site but I will still put up the after pics later today. I am SO excited but a little nervous about the pain. The derm guy said that mine are pretty bad; therefore, I'll have to have 3 separate treatments 4 weeks apart. If you click on the pic, you'll see what he means. Actually, I just tried that and they are much worse in person.

I don't consider myself very vain but maybe I am after all. Sure, I worry about my weight (what female doesn't?) but don't care much about what I wear, how my hair looks, etc... However, I have ALWAYS been insecure about my face/skin. I would love to be able to go to the gym with zero make-up and not worry about it. For a long time, I told myself just to be satisfied with what God has given me and that it wasn't right to change it. Then I read that no one is born with freckles. Its only a result of extensive sun damage as a child.

Although its a bit embarassing, I am sure cosmetic stuff can get pretty addicting. Speaking of, based on this photo, maybe I should visit plastics while I'm at the hospital for a nose job. I'm not vain, am I?????
