Accepting my natural self

old habits

WORTH IT$3,500
Well it's true old habits die hard!! I spent a good chunk of my honeymoon comparing myself to other women and feeling bad about myself. I still have myself convinced that to be attractive to my hubby I need have big breasts even though he assures me he finds me attractive. On saying all this I would not change my explant I love that I'm natural and actually felt sad for women with implants while away. I just need to sort my head and thoughts out!! I will post pics soon x

Having visited a few ps who were blunt telling me they would be empty sacks. I found one who was a bit more compassionate, saying they would settle in roughly 3 months.

It's definitely a process to adjust to your new self and may take some time.  You look great and your new hubby sounds very supportive!
I remember your story and thought to my self that girl looks good!!! It feels great huh!!! Hugs to you! My dream is to go to Scotland and Ireland some day:-)
HI Scaredstiff, its so great reading through your journey - you sound exactly how I feel , as im sure most others felt. Ashamed and angry I got implants , worrying what I will look like post explant and worrying what my partner will think of me as he also has never seen me pre implant. Your story gives me hope that everything will be fine and turn out all right, and everyone elses stories on here have helped me so much. I will be getting mine removed in a few months. I keep having doubts about it but I feel deep down its the right thing to do to get them out, and when I read how people feel a few weeks after explant it just gives me the confidence to go for it knowing that I will feel better for it. tanks so much for sharing your story and helping people in the same boat x
You won't regret doing it! We are all so brave :-)
Your results are very good! And even if they hadn't been- there is so much more to life than the size or texture of one's boobs! I really truly believe that smaller is better, now. It's still just as sexy and far more practical for everyday life. If you would like to do some more reading than can help you, I highly recommend the book The Mass Market Woman. It takes work, but you can stop judging aspects of yourself as "good" and "bad". And when you can love yourself, others naturally will, too. Any person who judges you over your boobs has his or her own sad issues to wrestle with. You will be dead some day. Make the most of today! Be strong and healthy and give love, especially to yourself! This way of thinking has been hard-earned for me, but I'm so glad to finally be here!
Thanks for your support. I'm taking steps to help my negative self image. It's all good! Hope you're well x x
thanks for sharing!

Well it's been nearly 15 wks since I took the leap...

Well it's been nearly 15 wks since I took the leap to implant free and I have to say I have never been happier. My breasts have really settled now and apart from the scars you could never tell the horrors my poor boobs have been through. I will post new pics soon.
I am due to get married this Friday 3rd May and it will be a happy, enjoyable & natural day.
I still had the implants when I picked my dress, then when I tried it on without them I was so disappointed at the gaping part where there used to be implants but now my dress fits perfectly and I look amazing in it.
I thank God that I found this site when I did, it really helped me make my decision with all the stories of brave women who just did it.
So to all of you who encouraged & comforted me during my journey to natural - A BIG HUGE Thank you x x
