    The “Right” Reasons To Get a Breast Reduction

    September 18, 2019 /

    As someone who writes a lot about my breast reduction and is a huge advocate for the surgery, I get shitty people posting shitty comments that I always delete (I read and approve all comments on my content) because I don’t need that kind of negativity and no one else does. 100% of these comments are about the “right” reasons to get a breast reduction. This pisses me off to no end. When someone claims that there are “right reasons” to get a breast reduction, they are saying that most reasons are “wrong reasons.” The only wrong reason to choose a breast reduction (or augmentation for that matter) is when…

    Things I Didn’t Ask My Breast Reduction Surgeon That I Should Have, But Didn’t Know To

    August 12, 2019 /

    Ask your surgeon and doctor about the things you care about, and don't let yourself get to a point where you are so desperate anything is good enough for you. Ask questions and if you don't like the answers, it's okay to talk to other surgeons covered by your insurance. You are going to a surgeon for a very important medical service, if they aren't satisfying your needs and concerns, find someone who will. Know as much as you can about your surgery as possible. Knowledge, in this sense, can only hep you in your breast reduction process and give you agency.

    Why I’m Not Afraid of Talking About My Breast Reduction Publicly

    July 29, 2019 /

    As I have said in my many posts about my breast reduction, I think it’s important for me to talk about it. In fact, I think it’s one of the most important things I am doing right now. I have stated in the past that I struggled to find good information and content on breast reductions when I was looking into the surgery, and that’s why I share so much about mine after the fact. This post isn’t very long and I don’t have any photos to share at this time, so bear with me.  As a teenager, I wanted to know everything I could about the surgery, but also…

    The Book of Essie By Meghan MacLean Weir Published June 2018 I borrowed this book from my local library. Get a library card and use it! This review contains slight spoilers and references to sex abuse I really loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. I know most people say that about the books they read but I generally have no problem putting a book down and walking away if it bores me in the slightest. Often I don’t pick books back up. For the Book of Essie I sat down around 10 a and began reading. I closed the book around 6 p that evening having stopped only…

    My Thoughts on Christmas

    December 24, 2018 /

    love winter, but I've never really loved Christmas. I find christmas movies obnoxious and christmas music grating like nails on a chalkboard. I hate red and green together, and the insane consumerism surrounding at least America's Christmas is absurd.

    Why I Don’t Eat Almonds or Dairy

    December 3, 2018 /

    I love food, but some foods don’t love me. I have spent most of my adult life constipated and in pain. I was in such constant pain that when I finally removed the foods in my life that were contributing to the pain, I actually began noticing when other foods upset my stomach. I know TMI, constipation, but here’s the deal; a lot of people deal with this but no one really talks about it. I definitely rely on other bloggers to help me make it through life, but when it comes to the inability to poop, I found nothing. Everyone has a supplement they say you should try. Been…

    Why is being an attention seeker perceived as a negative thing? Why can I be an attention seeker in my writing but not in my life? Why do we shame and resent people who need more or a different kind of attention than we do?

    My First Bra Fitting After My Reduction

    July 25, 2018 /

    After my breast reduction, I wore my stained surgical bras for months pining for the day I could buy new pretty bras. When I was allowed to buy and wear real bras, we went straight to Nordstrom’s. Mom and I wanted to get me something special as my “first bra” and mom actively boycotts Victoria’s Secret after one employee told me their “bras would fit me if I gained weight.” So to Nordstrom’s we went. We browsed all the bras, picked out a few I liked and took me back to get a fitting. At this point, by breasts were healed, but were not pretty. They looked stitched together and…

    Never let someone make you feel bad about a decision you made about your body because it makes you less sexually appealing to them or someone else. Your worth is not determined by your sex appeal, do not let anyone make you think that it is.
