Dealing with other people...
I had a problem today. I planned all my meals and would have been under my calorie goal, until I went to my brothers and he asked me to stay for dinner. Before I left the house I kept telling him that I had food in the oven and would be eating at home (to get out of eating there) but he kept on insisting that I eat dinner…

Not really sure where to start....?
So I've done dieting before. I started in January last year, ended up losing about 50 pounds by August and felt great. But life happened and I wasn't able to go to the gym so I tried workout videos like insanity and stuck with it for a month before I quit.

Is it possible to not lose the girls?
I don't really have much to lose there, unfortunately. It really seems unfair, what's the point in being fat if you don't get big boobs? Just to put it in prospective: CW: 325lbs Bra Size: 44C let that sink in. That pretty much is flat chested for a big girl. No hate on the small chested fit women, but it looks…
