Body issues / Physical concerns

Hey girl, listen...
You really gotta tell yourself this isn't a big deal. I actually had a mastectomy and went through the exact same mental struggle—just a total complex about it. I felt like I’d never be able to strip down in front of anyone again. I started hoarding all these different pads and stupid little things just to hide what was missing. One day, I just got sick of my own BS and decided—that's it, I don't care anymore, I'm hitting the pool every single day. It sucked at first, but as time went on, I got used to it and honestly? I have zero issues with it now. You just have to get it through your head that you're beautiful regardless, and people aren't staring at you nearly as much as you think they are. Just relax and live your life...
Best of luck,
