Yes,
I know, I look young.
I
am very lucky and blessed that I look the way I look and have the “assets” that
I have. Of course, nobody is perfect and everybody always has one or two things
that they hate dislike about their body. I’m not going to pretend that I
don’t hate dislike parts of my body. For one, I can’t stand my arms when
I am overweight. It takes me a million years to get my arms into shape and because of that my arms are one of my things that I hate dislike about my body. Another thing I dislike is my back fat. It’s like all the fat in my body is
throwing a party back there. I dislike it a lot!
However…
Never
in a million years would I sign up to alter my body in an unnatural way.
I
will never have plastic surgery. You can quote me on this. You can even have
this inscribed on my tombstone.
I will never have
plastic surgery!
For
one, I appreciate what god gave me. This is the way I came out of my mama! Why
would I want to change that? I appreciate that this is the way that god, genes
and chance chose to have me come out. I also believe in flaunting what you
naturally have and working hard for the things that you don’t have.
For
another, I would never have plastic surgery because it is an elective surgery
that is COMPLETELY unnecessary. Every time that you sign up to go under the
knife you are potentially signing up for an infection. We always think that we
will never be that 1% but trust me I know firsthand that it can happen. Never
in a million years did I think that my dad would be the 1% that would get
sepsis from his surgery, which, by the way, wasn't elective. (It was
necessary…just for the record.) Even before that happened to my dad I still
thought, “Why risk it?” My life is worth
so much more than my looks. The people I love are worth so much more than
getting something sucked out of me or placed within me. I would never risk my
life voluntarily. There is just too much to live for in my life.
For the record, this is
my opinion and my reasons why I would never have plastic surgery.
Now,
when it comes to other people having plastic surgery I could care less what
they do with their bodies. Before I was really against it and thought that whoever
had some type of surgery done was insecure. To me, it seemed superficial and
stupid. However, now I can see why certain people get it. I can sort of understand
why others want it so badly and are willing to risk their lives for it. I don’t
judge these people anymore. I just hope that they get whatever results they are
looking for.
I
still wouldn't ever do it to my body, but I at least try to understand people who
opt to go that route.
So
why did I change so drastically? Well, because I had a child. I know it sounds
weird, but it’s the truth. I had a baby and my body went from fab to flab. For
a while I was really depressed about the way that I looked. I never
contemplated surgery, but I was very unhappy with my body and it seemed like I
would never regain my cute shape. I knew that losing weight would be a journey
and I knew that I could always make it back to good with my body. However, when
I felt disgusted by my body I could understand why people would get so desperate
to actually go under the knife. Would I ever go that route? No, but I could
finally understand and I could finally stop judging these people.
So
to each his own!
