So I'm getting a fair amount of criticism for my endeavor. Ones from people I like and care about. Then there are friends who say," You had two kids do it! You earned it!".
Well, I did an informal survey last night at a local hangout. Keep in mind I was in my $45.00 bra that would make Bea Arthur look like she was Lindsey Lohan with her first set of boobs.
The question was I'm considering breast enhancement, what is your opinion of my breasts? Do I need it? (I asked all of them if they were single so I wouldn't offend any gf's in the process)
Guy 1- "I can't really tell by looking, I need to touch. Feeling around would really help me."
Guy 2- He seemed to hardly glance as he said no they look great, my friend K, called him on it. He said slyly, "Oh don't worry I looked at them earlier."
Guy3- " You had 2 kids, you have those and you look like that, I'm single and in heaven"
Guy4- "I'd destroy you. You are so freaking sexy all of you." He also told me he was single then his girlfriend retrieved him.
Guy5- "I think they look great, but it's about what you feel. Don't fix what ain't broke, maybe you should look into just getting a lift if you want the perkiness back."
So after all that my ego was flying high. And I had a little more insight. It is all about what I want. And I want to be happy about my body again. I'm not 100% happy when I take my bra off anymore. There is so much extra skin and it's not like I can exercise it away. Maybe a lift is the answer, but it's the same price. I've had a consult on both and to have both done at the same time I'd even get a discount.
I hated fake boobs until a few years ago, until I woke up one day and mine were flailing all over the place and when I slept they smooshed like pancakes.
I respect my friends who think it's a bad decision, there are people in my life who think I would be setting the wrong example for my girls. Maybe. But is the right example never being 100% happy?
Who knows what will happen, I'm relying on donations. And faith in my readers to get the word out about me. So, it may never happen.
Time will tell.
