My mom only has one breast due to breast cancer... it just seems sacrilegious to take a breast off for a sport.Katherinehttp://www.shoot-me-now.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-46579926083108879072014-02-23T18:20:54.966-06:002014-02-23T18:20:54.966-06:00We live in a culture where in many areas, like whe...We live in a culture where in many areas, like where i live, fake boobs are the norm.

Surgery is serious business and elective changes should only be made after serious consideration.<br /><br />I think those skier's outfits can make a woman look a lot smaller than she is.<br /><br />As for that Speedo?

There ...Sports predisposes toward unhealthy living. There is a whole field of medical science called Sports Medicine dedicated to trying to offset the bodily damage done by sports. It's a choice people make to pursue a career in sports, and there are sacrifices they must be willing to make if they want to succeed. Success of any kind is a faint chance at best, and generally only lasts for a decade at best anyway. Every advantage increases these slight odds. If you're of the mindset to believe that your life is best lived by excelling at a physical activity in which a particular part of your body could be a disadvantage, it's better to have surgery on that body part at the hands of a skilled surgeon than risk random strain or injury of it while pursuing your goal.Frank Lee MeiDerenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-15626316727518699992014-02-23T13:25:42.042-06:002014-02-23T13:25:42.042-06:00You are so right.

And, despite the reasoning, it is something that should never be taken lightly. Like Jayne said, it's a common sight in ice skating and dance, and also in gymnastics.

I have a friend who danced ballet when younger, but couldn't advance because her boobs were too big. As for the guy in the speedo...
