A woman recalls growing up in the 90s surrounded by airbrushed supermodel images, unaware they had eating disorders and digitally enhanced bodies. She developed early, reaching a size 32F by high school, and felt pressure to hide herself. The unrealistic standards made her consider breast augmentation to cope with unwanted attention.
Maybe share why or what influenced you to think or consider, you know, breast augmentation.
Yeah. Well, it's interesting because I grew up in the 90s, which we were, you know, heavily infiltrated by magazine covers of supermodels and everything like that. But, you know, we didn't learn until we were older that they all had eating disorders and they were spray tanned and even their abs were like spray sprayed painted on them for the photo.
Like
we didn't know that. But, you know, it was funny. I. I didn't really have like self image issues like in that retrospect in high school. For me, it was. I tried to cover my body as much as possible. I started developing at a very young age. Okay, I was like nine years old when I started developing. So by the time I got to high school, I was a 32F.
I was uncomfortable all the time.
And when you're in high school and you even have old men staring at you because of how big your chest is, you're like, grossed out. So I always tried to put on sweatshirts, hoodies, didn't want to be looked at.
