Have just checked my email to find a message from my mum along the lines of "You're going to get an email from someone at such-and-such private clinic. I spoke to them about you having a breast reduction. Here's some info they gave me. It sounds really good.". There was also the message she mentioned from this company. It is a well known company I'd already heard of.
Now don't get me wrong, as a woman with 34J breasts, I do very much want to have a reduction. However, I have a lot of hang ups about it. I have tried to look into it with both another private clinic and the NHS. The former didn't want to know as soon as they heard my weight/height, and the latter told me (and I'm quoting a female doctor here) - "Right now you're a big lady with big boobies, so first you need to be a little lady with big boobies, and then we can make you a little lady with little boobies". And yes, my mother knows about both of these situations.
I do logically understand that being heavier means more risks on the operating table, and I'm fine with that, it makes complete sense to me. I therefore did not plan to even ask about it again until I was close to my weight goal, which is still 4st away, so perhaps won't be asking again till a year from now.
My head is just really messed up now, I was buzzing about losing 2st in 3 months and feeling really good, but these emails have just filled my mind up with negative feelings about my body and my bust. Very much fighting the binge eating instinct right now!
Apologies for the long message, I could just really do with some reassurance from people who really do get my situation rather than all my skinny friends who don't really seem to get how hard it all can be. I am determined not to fall off the wagon from this, but I feel so low I daren't leave the house till the OH is home incase I buy food!
