I'm much too shallow to learn to love my body the way it is, or develop inner resources, so I'm going to undergo surgery to get "fixed." Then I'll look much better.

I'll be fixing the nose you inherited from me. I'll also be fixing the thighs you inherited from me. I'll be enlarging the chest you inherited from me.

But, sweetie, you're beautiful just the way you are! At least you are now. But in the future, you, too, can fix all of those hideous defects that are forcing me under the knife.

Fortunately, I do love my body have taught our daughter the same.

Fortunately, indeed.

I can't say I love my body, but I accept it, and in the interest of being a good role model, I'm not overly self-critical in front of my daughter. I want her to develop inner character and not focus too much on cultivating her looks as the most important thing.

Agreed.

I think explaining life's little curiosities to children is a good thing. I just finished my first children's book: "Daddy drinks...and it's YOUR fault!!!"

I think I want ym kids to be taught the best- love your body.

but as an adult, I don't love my body. I want surgery.

I gotta admit. I'm a bit torn.

I think this book is unhealthy though

I have women ask me "Do they look and feel real?"
I think to myself, "If you are that insecure about the results of surgery, why have it at all?"

I don't think its about being insecure. would you want to know all the results of a surgery. isn't that the responcible thing to do?

remember, there is more than one kind of implant and more than one way to put it in. women want to make the best choice for themselves when deciding which kind of implant and method they use.

I would be happy to offer my testing services to all women who need reassurance their breast surgery was satisfactory, free of charge.
