So I've been thinking about a breast reduction

Options
For a while now. They're big, sweaty, fat balls. I don't like them most of the time because they're constantly hitting things before I am, knocking stuff over,making my shirts too tight etc. Not to mention the shoulder/back and neck pain. If you have a large chest I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

But I may have just had a change of heart. I was carrying up my groceries in one hand probably 8 bags, and the other hand held my keys and my fountain pop. I got to my door and thought crap how can I open it without putting anything down? Well...I proped my pop between my chest and the wall and had my free hand to unlock the door. I never realized just how much I do things like this. I guess the girls are staying.

    They do come in handy when they aren't knocking over displays in shoe store, don't they?

    Girl, I know how you feel! I've been thinking about a reduction since middle school!!!

    But I totally find ways to make them work for me in pratical situations, so some days, I think I'd rather keep them, lol.
    It's kind of nice how they have been the first to go though. I swear, my chest is the only place I've noticed a difference after losing 14 pounds. Which kind of sucks, because there are other spots I wish would get smaller, too, but at least it's something!

    I wasn't big to begin with..C cup. DH said the other night that my boobs are already getting smaller!! I asked if he had rather me be fat with big boobs or thin with little boobs?? Of course he had the male answer of "hard decision" LMBO.

    my big boobs even sometimes get me free drinks, or if I'm in your situation loaded down with groceries, some one to open the door to the truck for me. Although, I haven't decided if they like my truck or my boobs more...

    One of my girlfriends finally had breast reduction surgery a few years ago and couldn't be happier. Her husband loved her big boobs so she never seriously considered having the surgery. She was/is close to a healthy BMI and always felt totally out of balance. When they got divorced, about the first thing she did was to have the surgery and I have to admit she looks fantastic. More importantly (for her) she feels liberated and the pain in her shoulders caused by the dragging of bra straps is now gone! Whatever you decide, good luck!

    I fold my laundry on my chest. The clothes stay up there. It's like having a shelf.

    Had mine done years ago. Best thing ever! I actually had someone who didn't know I ever had them make a comment about us "small chested gals" and it made me giggle. They took off 10 pounds total, but then I realized my stomach was bigger than I thought.

    I had mine reduced when I was 21 (my issue was actually that one was about 2 sizes bigger than the other) and it was the absolute best thing I'd ever had done for myself. My actual cup size hasn't decreased too much so far...which makes me happy. My band size is going down though which thrills me...I might actually get to buy bras somewhere other than plus-size stores!
