Reflection Part One!!! Viewer Discretion Advised.

Well, where to start!! I guess I'll go with the obvious life changing events I have recently undergone :)
This blog will be the most honest and private to date, so, if you're not into "TMI" stop reading NOW!
For about 15 years now (or well, since puberty) my "ladies" have grown at a very uneven pace. The left had decided to be huge, while the right side was content chilling as a little gal. Although I'm by far not vain in any way, and have never really cared so much about my breast size, this created issues, to say the least. Not so much at first, but as I grew, gained weight, and became pregnant, the left continued to be large and in charge, while the right side stayed put. (to put it into perspective, the left side was a DD and the right side was a B cup)  This CONTROLLED my life. I had to stuff the right side (yes, I said STUFF!!) with two silicone "cutlets" just to give the appearance of them being even. If I left the house without the "cutlets, I would panic and have to turn back to get them. No tank tops, tight or low cut shirts, or bathing suits (without a sport bra underneath) Not to mention feeling like Quasimodo in lingerie, or well, in anything for that matter. I handled it well, I thought. Made a joke out of it, told everyone, laughed about it, even though it really sucked deep down. Luckily for me, I've taught myself to maintain confidence, no matter the weather.
It took ten years to muster up the balls to do it, and two attempts at persuading my insurance company to cover the surgery.........and a HUGE thank you to Dr. D'Amore (how appropriate right? Dr Love!!!) to achieve what I've always wanted. EVEN breasts. I can't begin to describe how incredible they look!! Well, aside from the stitches, and bruising lol!! It's quite an emotional thing when something that has basically defined me for so many years, is now nothing but a memory. I've had emotional highs and lows, and pain to go along with it. It might take some time to get used to the new me, but I know once it happens, life will be good.
(p.s. would love to post some pics, but they might be too graphic for my follower's virgin eyes! lol!)
