My mom always promised me that when you get your period, your body goes through a lot of changes, and you get a “huge growth spurt.”
I took that to mean that I would get taller, and my flat chest would develop. First months passed, then years. I am close to 20 years of age now, and I am just as tall and just as flat as I was when I turned 13. I feel cheated. I’m what you’d call a “thick” person; 5’2 and 150 pounds, and I definitely don’t appear as overweight as that sounds. Big bones and all that. Most of my weight is in my thighs and in my butt. My loving boyfriend even jokes that he wishes he could take some of the fat from my thighs and put it “just a little bit higher.”
He says this with a smile, but it really hurts. I’ve always wanted a balanced, womanly figure. I hate going bra shopping and any bra with actual cups gaps away from my skin.
I hate how tops fit me, how in my “medium” size they leave too much room in the front, so it’s baggy at the top and tight at my waist.
I’m willing to go through the pain and expenses it will take to achieve this goal. But I’ve also go to wait another year when I turn 21 so my opinions can be open to every type of implant. I want to make sure I get what looks good on me, and what looks natural with my otherwise shapely body.
I’m going for a consultation July 12th, 2010; my 21st birthday. Wish me luck :]
