(Kidding Fras, i'm sure your a scream!)<br /><br />Seriously though (I do, do serious) I dont think I could add much more to your followers comments. I have never noticed your double chin, just your flawless skin, your beautiful eyes and your crackin figure (when you show it off). <br /><br />I could never tell someone not to go through with a procedure as I know myself if you are unhappy with something then it needs to be done for oneself. All I can say is to dig deep down and figure out if you would be doing this for yourself (an obvious statement but I agree).<br /><br />I know that no women (or man for that matter) will never be fully content with themselves.<br /><br />Spidermonkey.

I am all for cosmetic procedures within reason. A lot of my female family members have gone under the knife and they dont regret it one bit. Sometimes you just need something to make you feel fresh with a new view on life. My aunt got the bags under her eyes removed that have been hampering her self confidence for years and now she is an extremely confidant happy person. My sisters both got breast augmentations and my cousin got hers made the same size. Its all about doing it for yourself and not for anyone one else. Hope that makes sense :) but btw steph you are really pretty!! :) but if its something you think about everyday and you think it will make you feel better inside then go for it.Carlinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993859197214929727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498675785094255517.post-80834608957678506722009-05-28T14:09:44.175-07:002009-05-28T14:09:44.175-07:00Steph, your boyfriend sounds like an amazingly sup...Steph, your boyfriend sounds like an amazingly supportive person. Don't let that go! First of all, I can understand why you feel the way you do. I had people in my family that constantly commented on my weight. I remember being in the 5th grade with my aunt pinching my arms telling me that they were too big! 5th grade?! It got so bad one time where I was at a party where i had a baby doll shirt on and my own mother told me I looked pregnant! I was in tears and told her how it made me feel and it all stopped. I still think about it to this day. I'm new to your blog, and have looked at all your pictures and I really do not see a double chin. Sometimes how we perceive ourselves isn't how others see us. You are gorgeous and I'm not just saying that in an attempt to get you to not get the procedure done. I say to do what is going to make you truly happy. Just ask yourself these questions: Is this the only thing I want to get done? Am I truly doing it for myself? What influenced me to make this decision?<br /><br />Like the previous comment, I'd hate for this to be something that you turn to again later on. You are a beautiful person but if this procedure is the missing link to your peak of happiness and confidence, then go for it. Just make sure you're doing it for YOU and not to look like what's in the media. <br /><br />Oh, and thanks for the nice words in that last post! It's really one of the nicest gestures ever!KillaCamillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524006984105481708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498675785094255517.post-24285066400160217332009-05-28T12:59:39.650-07:002009-05-28T12:59:39.650-07:00Wow - First of all, this is such an amazing post -...Wow - First of all, this is such an amazing post - Your boyfriend is clearly very articulate and you clearly mean the world to him. I can also understand both points of view here... But I have to say, I have definitely never ever noticed this "double chin" - Steph, you are a naturally beautiful woman, and you really shouldn't make this decision lightly. I think you rock just the way you are!mizzworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108358231405686687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498675785094255517.post-25158873361362168402009-05-28T12:55:47.802-07:002009-05-28T12:55:47.802-07:00Hmm it's a difficult one this, because like you St...Hmm it's a difficult one this, because like you Steph my mum has always been very critical especially when it comes to looks. And its hard to be fully confident and happy with yourself when your own mum sees the negative rather than reinforcing the positive, i think it stays with you at least it does with me. You ARE gorgeous Steph, you DEFINITELY dont need surgery (and wow dont you have the lovliest boyfriend!!) But it will make no difference with others telling you that you need to believe it yourself....so when i figure out a way to do that i'll let you know ha! xxxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289105552804408559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498675785094255517.post-2870522760682400952009-05-28T12:49:00.025-07:002009-05-28T12:49:00.025-07:00Gosh...I don't know what to say. To be honest, I c...Gosh...I don't know what to say. To be honest, I can sit on the fence and see both sides here...Steph, you are undoubtedly BEAUTIFUL, and I'm NOT just saying that. You have found a gem in your boyfriend, he clearly thinks the world of you, so treasure that and appreciate he says nice things about you because they are true. Personally, I have honestly, hand on heart, never even noticed this double chin, and I'm pretty observant (I have about 20 chins in some pictures)...however, from your point of view, I totally understand disliking something about yourself so much that it ebbs away at your confidence, and it becomes all you can see and focus on when you look at yourself. I think undergoing a cosmetic procedure to correct what you perceive as a flaw could go one of two ways...it could totally remove what you see as a fat double chin and you'll be 100% confident...or you could find something else that you dislike to the same degree, and a vicious cycle could begin. I don't necessarily think that looking in magazines at pictures of models etc is going to make the blindest bit of difference to how YOU feel about your 'flaw', but I do understand how your boyfriend is trying to rationalise your thoughts/actions. All I can say is, whatever you decide, make sure it is a VERY well informed decision, don't make it lightly, and Steph, you really are naturally beautiful :) x x xLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097832161129952488noreply@blogger.com
