Too much       01/19/05 04:01 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 It costs me $4,650 (I looked up the receipt!). I can't believe that I spent that much on myself. I am a huge tightwad. I rarely splurge on anything for myself, so it was very out of character for me to do something like this. I'm telling you, it was the approaching 40th birthday that did it to me! As it got closer, I kept thinking, I can be unhappy with myself the rest of my life---or I can do something about it. I can't emphasize enough how bad my nose was. I had a horrible profile, and I felt like people were always staring at me. Of course, my family would tell me I was imagining that. One day, I was substitute teaching at a preschool and this little girl (probably 3 or 4 years old), tapped me on the shoulder and said, "You're nose is too big!" (Like she was telling me something I didn't know!).... Little brat .... but unfortunately, the truth comes out of the mouth of babes. And I could go on and on with such stories. People can be so cruel. I finally realized that no matter what I did to make myself feel better (such as exercise, lose weight or buy new clothes), I would always be known and seen as "the girl with the big nose." It really had become a handicap to mem and was affecting so many areas of my life. Now it is so nice to not feel like people are looking at me in an odd way. I used to always notice it when I went to get my hair cut. Every woman in the salon would be looking at me. Now if they do, it's usually because they are complimenting me on my haircut! I don't know why I am sharing this with you all. (I haven't with many people). I guess because I hear so many people joking about those that have nose jobs---- like they are so vain. And that hurts! Because until you've lived with a huge nose that does not fit your face, you can't even begin to know how emotionally scarring that can be. I look at people that have small noses and think, "Wow, they are so fortunate!" So mine costs me over $4,000. But it was a nice gift I gave to myself. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
