For Charming (a.k.a. the iconoclast)

I love to read your posts, and I think the addition to the website would be a great one.  I never really thought about you looking at me and seeing if I was mentally there.  I just thought about physically...  I had a great support system and I think that you were able to see that pretty easily.

It took me a while to see that the plastic surgery did exactly what I wanted it to do.  It completed my journey. I didn't want to look better to become a model or a better wife, I wanted to become whole and if I wasn't mentally ok, that might not have happened.

I remember laying on a chair in your office and you called me tiny.  I thought you were crazy, but now I see it, I am tiny!  It took a while for my brain to catch up I guess.  I was a bit opposite, the first two months I was, not remorseful, but doubtful that the surgery worked.  I thought I was still fat!  I am not sure what happened, but now I feel beautiful, I feel normal, I feel like my outside matches my inside and I love it!
