Visitors' Stories -- Deidre I guess I first became interested in getting implants in January of 2000 but it wasn't until April of 2000 that I could even get my husband to consider the idea. He couldn't understand why at 40 yrs old I suddenly thought I needed implants especially when I was already a "B" cup. He was never concerned about the media 'hype' and neither was I as both of us have known several women throughout our lives who had them and had no problems whatsoever,and he isn't one of those men who is jealous or thinks they are icky, he simply couldn't understand why I thought I 'needed' them. So why did I decide I needed them? For the first time in my life at age 39 I found myself with a weight problem-I went from a size 5 to a size 16 in about a year's time and I was so totally disgusted with myself that I could not stand to look in the mirror. The only good thing I can say about that time in my life is that I did not allow myself to stay that way for very long. I joined a gym and I worked very hard to lose 30 lbs in a little over 6 mos and I hated every minute of it most of the time. But once the weight came off and I started exercising to sculpt instead of lose, it became something that I looked forward to everyday. I am not a bodybuilder by any means but at 40 was in the best shape of my life and I became very body concious. Well as everyone knows there is really no way to make your boobs grow by exercising--on the contrary, they got smaller and I felt that I worked very hard on my body and I deserved to have it look the way I wanted it to look and finally my husband agreed that indeed I did deserve that. So, in April of 2000, my husband told me I could use our next income tax check to get them. Hooray!!! I was in heaven, I called everyone I knew and told them, but in hindsight I think I would have waited until I had set a date and knew what I was getting etc. But I was excited! Let's just say that not everyone was as excited as me (to put it mildly). But I didn't really care what anyone thought however it was very aggravating to be asked all the time "are you still getting boobs?" or "well why are you getting boobs?" I learned that someone who does not have a body image problem is not likely to get behind you on this surgery if you are doing it for strictly cosmetic reasons-and that was fine by me. But I have to admit it hurt at times. As a point of interest, I just want to add that my daughter, who is a natural 'D' told me to 'go for it' and how much she loved having big boobs!
