[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:57, the ridiculous thing in your post is the line"my brain is already fucked up and there's nothing I can do about that."  Of course there is something you can do about that, you can get help.  Not only are you depressed about your body but you feel deep shame about these feelings.

You will age.  We all age.  You will sag and get wrinkles and gain weight.  You can fight it and get surgery after surgery and you will lose and at some point start to look manufactured (I really think women who go too far look terrible.  And they have no awareness that they've gone too far.)

Or you can embrace it.  Life is more joyful that way.[/quote]

I definitely had body image issues when I was younger, I will not deny that. I don't think that any amount of therapy would have budged that one bit. What did help was getting older, having children, and having a husband who loves me unconditionally. I still care to an extent how I look (and I am very average looking and always have been) but I don't have the feelings of shame and self-loathing that I did when I was younger and objectively more attractive. I think there is a difference between wanting to fix something once every ten years and having work done constantly. It's been 8 years since I had the implants done and will probably be another 8 or so before I get anything else done. It's not really about fighting aging, as I am aging in many other ways that I could do something about but won't. It's just about wanting to be able to be okay with what I see in the mirror, and there are a few things that are particularly bothersome to me and I'm going to get them fixed if I can afford it.

You've gotten some great advice here OP. I am probably not the best person to be dispensing it, but I will just say that I have never regretted having the second set of implants done. They look and feel pretty natural (I have saline under the muscle FWIW) and I'm glad I have them every day. Most of the time I don't even think about it.[/quote]
