Listen to your inner voice

I have always been a little self concious about my small breast when I compared them to models and tried on swimsuits. It's funny how I have always thought that other women who were flat chested looked fine. I told my boyfriend that I wanted implants. My friend had set up a consultation and I didn't realize that it was within my reach to get them. I felt shallow when I went for my consultation. In fact I couldn't believe that I was there. When I saw the before and after pictures, I didn't think my breast were really that bad. My boyfriend at first said he liked me the way I was. Then he got obsessed with the idea to the point that I felt like he was pressuring me. I started having doubts about them and him. I set up the surgery and pre-paid on two different occasions and I backed out the day before. I felt like my Dr. was with holding info from me. He sounded like a used car salesman. I really thought he was nuts when he said that he hopes that silicone would be approved again. I was just having to listen to my inner voice. I kept thinking the rest of my body isn't perfect. I am going to get old, and I just didn't feel right. I felt guilty to do this to my body. I felt guilty about all the people in this world who have serious illnesses and who would love to just be healthy. I felt shallow and superficial. I didn't like the way my boyfriend was acting. I finally told him if he wanted big breasts so bad that he could get them, and there were plenty of men out there who would love me for who I am. I was so glad that I didn't go through with it. With all of the adds now in the magazines we need to help others to be true to themselves and to love themselves. Often, I go into the pos. breast implant chat rooms to see what they have to say. A lot of them are having complications and are in denial. A lot of them are having major doubts and are there looking for reassurance. I talk to them and tell them that I backed out. Then, nobody wants to talk to me anymore. There are some people giving out a lot of information who aren't informed and that don't want to know the whole story. I wasn't able to get enough info before I had made that appointment. I have been showing my boyfriend this site. We are both very glad that I didn't do it. I feel very strongly about this cause. My heart goes out to all that has suffered.

MY INNER VOICE TOLD ME THE SAME THING.....but everyone around me kept

telling me that i needed to do it after listening to me talk about it

for 2 years ...my boyfriend at the time and also my sister, everyone

kept telling me you have to do this or you will always regret

it. My first surgery got cancelled because I came down with a cold

and was scared to get put under anesthesia with my sinuses all

plugged up, I feel it was an omen and I should have listened to it,

then when I started feeling achey I immediately thouhg " oh my god I

hope its not the implants " From that day forward my inner voice kept

telling me everyday it was the implants, get em out, I fought it, I

wanted to keep them so bad, I even vowed to myself at one point that

I would accept it, stay away from this sight, make do with my

deteriorating health and keep the implants that I would be to

distraught without them and that it wouldn't be worth the emotional

toll...well.....anyhow....yes inner voice is important and I agree

listen to it
