Insecure?

There is this all-to0-common misconception that women who have breast implants are insecure about their bodies. Hello? I am here to tell you this is FALSE. Tons and tons of women have breast implants and I feel it would be safe to say that the majority that have undergone the procedure have a million other reasons that do not include insecurity as one of them. People that have not been directly involved in a situation will believe whatever they want to, but this is a perfect example of stereotyping and it just is not right or fair!

Only two months ago I was the gal that went to the gym with the tightest racer-back top she could find, and nothing but a pad-less sports bra underneath. Looking at my before shots do not do justice to what the case really was. I was as flat as they come. I did not even fit into an A size cup, so essentially I just had nipples. In fact, many times I was proud because all my hard work had paid off. I had very little body fat. After all, what are breasts anyway? FAT. I am a competitive athlete — the ultimate goal in what I do is symmetry and lack of body fat. So honestly it really did not bother me that I had no fat in the chest area. I did this to myself — I wanted to have non-existent breasts.

In rare circumstances I would wear a padded bra. When I say rarely, it really was rare. Padded bras are like the most uncomfortable garment to ever be invented. I just did not wear them.
What I did find appealing about the procedure was that I would be able to fill out clothing, bring more symmetry to my extremely fit body, and simply because I could. The point is, I could not step onto a stage in front of hundreds of people if I was insecure about not having breasts.

Fast-forward to the present date and I am still wearing the same darn thing. My reasons for going through with breast augmentation surgery were definitely NOT because I felt bad about my body. Many people are so closed-minded about cosmetic surgery that they begin to assume that anyone that has had it is insecure with that part of themselves. Sorry, this just simply is NOT the case. Science presented an option, an opportunity to get something I did not previously have and I opted to get it. Boy, am I glad I did. Sorry if I have burst anyone's BUBBLE. =)
