In this episode I talk about my journey of having breast implants (I went from a small A/B cup to E/F cup). Growing up I was always wanting to have large boobies, perhaps marketing and seeing women around me with bigger boobies prompted me, plus having an eating disorder meant my breasts got heavily affected by my yo-yo dieting and calorie restricting as the tissue was left sagging and gave me huge body shame. I LOVED them once I had my initial operation and they really helped me feel more womanly at the time, however in 2016 I discovered I had a ruptured implant which was terrifying to think the silicon was leaking into my body. I talk about the implant swap as I was now too insecure to have them totally removed. Shortly after though my entire life direction changed in a blink of an eye and I no longer gave any f*cks about having bigger boobs anymore and made the decision to have them totally removed and a natural lift. I share my journey here to where I am today. My full blog post with images to show the journey can be found under the blog section at www.themercadomethod.co.uk 'The Boob Journey.' Thank you to all that have reached out and connected with me and also shared your stories as I know it can be a scary experience making the decision to be Explanted. I am so grateful for my body that has been through this ride with me and the connection I now have with my body is so much more loving and accepting.
