Plastic Surgery, Enhancements, Tucks...

Do I dare write this post? Controversial, yes, but something that seems to be on my mind. Let me start by saying, if you've had it done, I don't judge you. I don't fault you. I don't need to know your reasoning. I still like you! If you haven't had it done, and are thinking about it, I guess this is for you, from me.

I don't think you need it! The way a person looks does NOT in any way affect the way I look at them or consider them as a person. Some of my favorite people are obese, flat, big-nosed, whatever...It isn't their looks that make me like them, it's their personality.

Why do people feel they need to be a certain shape or size? Will being that shape or size really make them happy? Is there a reason why so many people are trying to artificially mold themselves? What's wrong with variety? What's wrong with being flat or having a saggy chest? What's wrong with being a size 10 or 16?
"Flat" and Beautiful

"Large" and full of personality and smiles"Ugly" but nice. Ok, I know she's fictional, but you get the idea. Some of the most caring and influential people in the world aren't exactly "eye candy."

Granted, I believe we should all be healthy and take care of ourselves, and there are definitely medically valid reasons for surgery, but really, why can't we all be happy with the bodies that we've been given? Especially if we are lucky enough to have healthy and working bodies?

I guess I just wish that women could have enough self-confidence to walk proudly in their skin, and not worry so much about their outward appearance. The world would be a more meaningful place if people would spend just as much time worrying about how they're treating other people rather than what people thought of them.
