I know that I can run but I don’t want to be slim anymore. I don’t want to lose weight either so I won’t be in the gym just to run. I will do upper body workouts that won’t affect my back when I get a chance but I’m not going to run

The Reason

I know that women have different reasons to get surgery and I thought I’d share mine. While I support surgery I don’t promote it. There are always natural alternatives or a more natural approach to physical improvement especially in the cosmetic field. However, I always wanted to be a plastic surgeon and was encouraged by a lawyer. I wanted breast implants and rhinoplasty at 18. As time went on I grew physically and mentally to love myself more and figure myself out. Who I was and who I was becoming. I was not yet who I was going to be and I hadn’t experienced life, in fact it was truly just beginning. 18 marks adulthood but if we’re honest it’s just an age that marks adulthood, you don’t really know what you’re doing at that age even if you had a tough childhood. I was slim and loving it and always outside in the sun once my parents had allowed me to roam and so much so that my mom told me I needed to give outside a break. This caused me to use sunscreen but it didn’t help. My skin was damaged from the sun and no amount of time inside would repair what the sun had done. I tried so many skin products and found better ones that claimed to provide an even skin tone of course by way of lightening and I said what do I have to lose so now I was on a mission to look the way I thought I should. I finally regained my original complexion at 23. At 26 I became pregnant and delivered after 27. Because of the way I came about being pregnant I was angry. It was not by my consent but with someone I adored and couldn’t imagine he would disregard my feelings. I thought he was my friend but nevertheless after an emotional downfall I had to encourage myself. I was always prayerful but during this time it was extremely crucial for me to keep a positive mind so I dedicated myself to seeking God and not for answers but for strength. I always wanted to be a mom but again a blessing is a blessing. Before pregnancy I was taking apetamin because I wanted to gain weight and the only way to put on more muscle I had to eat more. I didn’t naturally have a desire to eat a lot or to eat often. I took this syrup and it did exactly what it said it would do. I started my membership at the gym when I was 24 and never stopped working out. Before, during and after pregnancy. After I delivered I did rest but I literally went from 152 before pregnancy to 172 getting ready to deliver. I dropped down to 162 and somehow when back to 172. 172 became 167 and then 162 and then 169 and it stuck. Today I am 175 with thick stretch marks covering my lower body. Since I was 24 all I did was weightlifting and apparently I had weak pelvic muscles and when I delivered I tore one of my vaginal muscles during contraction so now I have lower back pain and have been advised by a doctor not to weightlift. The very thing that I loved and that helped me get through those tough times I can no longer do so I decided to get surgery. I love me and apart of loving me means I’m allowed to not want a mommy pudge so I decided why not get liposuction and get the fat sucked out and for a a little extra instead of throwing the fat away I’ll just get a bigger butt. I’m all prayed up and prayed out. I told God why I wanted to do it and if he approves show me his sign of approval by allowing me to move forward and he did. I’ve purchased all my surgery supplies and now am paying towards the procedure. I promised God that I wouldn’t be obsessed and always remember that I am perfectly and wonderfully made by him. I hope my testimony blesses you and whatever your reason be for surgery remember that although it’s your decision you’re perfect because God made you and he loves and that is all that matters. I know when people think of him they think of their parents because you feel like your parents have to love you and what if you don’t love you but also remember that you’re important. His word says that he bottles your tears and numbers the very hairs on your head and he can’t lie or else HE wouldn’t be God. Be encouraged and I claim success for all of you in and out of surgery
