Grace looked down at the scales and sighed. Even after the liposuction she still weighed one-eighty-seven. For her height she should have weighed one-thirty but she had made her target weight a realistic one-forty. She had tried everything to lose weight--jogging, working out with a personal trainer, every fad diet that had ever been conceived, but to no avail. Her body seemed to have an aversion to losing weight and she felt the grip of desperation tighten with every extra pound like a pair of pants two sizes too small. She had to get down to her target weight, whatever the cost.

Grace stared at her toes and wriggled them. How much did her big toe weigh? Two, three ounces? It was difficult to say, she had never weighed individual body parts.

Would it matter if she lost a toe? Nobody would see it, especially a man. At forty-one, Grace was husbandless and boyfriendless, and who could blame any man for not wanting her in her condition? She looked up from the scales at herself in the bathroom mirror.

"Gravity and cellulite should be tried for crimes against humanity," she said scornfully to her reflection.

She peered down at her toes again. Removing her big toes wasn't a good idea--her balance would be severely affected. But her little toes weren't that necessary. She was a surgeon. She could do it.

She would do it.
