And but for me to the next plant and everything go away like that was pretty incredible. Prior to, to getting my explant. I really lived such a clean lifestyle. I'm aware of the EWG.org network use it when I go to the supermarket. My household cleaners are all non toxic. You know the products I use like my skin care is all pretty much non toxic or it was more so then. And I'm such a product junkie so I like to experiment and I get sent a lot of things but for the most part then I was very clean only organ I'm aware of what I'm putting in my body and so I just, I didn't, I didn't think anything was really wrong and but for me to then explant and everything go away like that was pretty incredible. And I took him out because I had all these symptoms and, and I related to them and I felt like if I could eliminate all of these symptoms, my health is way more important than my aesthetics. And, and I did it remove them and um, and everything went away and I was left with nothing. I started with nothing and I was left with a little bit more than what I started with, which is maybe a double A and I'm still okay with that. And I think a lot of women and girls who message me are like, I feel like my husband's not going to think I'm sexy or I'm not going to feel sexy. And I worry about wearing this or wearing that. And look, confidence comes from within. You have to be okay with you. And then that's going to portray on the outside this woman who I am today. If I could go back with the same like knowledge and be that girl at the table that the kid tapped on the shoulders and said, you're as flat as an ironing board. I give them the middle finger and be like, who cares? I, you know, instead of running home and crying to my mom and then her patting my bras for years and years until I was finally 18 to get implants.
