    Or lack there of I should say. Tired of lifting them up and setting them in my bra. I was kinda depressed about it until I thought of this. No one but my fiance sees me naked and he likes them. They look good when in a bra or bathing suit, it's just when I am naked that I don't like them. So I am not going to worry and stress over them anymore!! I would rather have a hot body with kinda saggy boobs than the fat body I had with big full boobs. I wear clothes 90% of the time and they look great 90% of the time. So ladies don't worry about your boobs, to the rest of the world you are gonna look so Hot!!

    Okay, I used to feel the same way, but let me tell you a story. I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans this year. A very large (I would say 300+) pound woman was calling out to the guys on the balcony to throw her some beads. Of course they yelled "show us your tits". So she lifted her shirt and showed them. OMG!!!! They were the biggest things I have ever seen in my life, so big that they almost hung to her waist. Not one, not two, but every guy on the balcony started throwing beads to her. About 20 strands or so. There was a man standing on the street next to me that I did not know and I chuckled and said "after that, there is no way I would show my lack of boobs". His response was "sweetheart, boobs are boobs to men, big, small, firm, sagging, we don't care we love them all". I have since "interviewed" most of my close male friends and they all concur. To men, boobs are boobs. We are much harder on our bodies than men are...they see naked and then the other head takes over and it is done. LOL

    I'm fine with my 36As...not my choice, but like the person who started this thread, they look great when i want them to :)

    Here's a nice little story about my terrible roommate:

    While i was in my room folding laundry one night, my roommate came in, picked up one of my bras, and said "oh yeah, you don't have big boobs like me...that sucks." I had no idea how to reply and just didn't say anything. My first thought was "that's nice but when was the last time yours held someone's attention...at least mine are effective!"

    She is 5'10"ish and weighs 310...when i met her (about 50lbs ago ~260, she was a 38A...now a 46B). She always comments that all I ever do is eat (I have lost 20lbs this year, now at 165 and 5'9"). The fact that she is so unsupportive and downright rude makes me nuts!!

    She also told me "with your butt and thighs, you will never reach 150lbs" when I told her that was my goal. My response was to change my goal to 145 and then lose 20lbs (halfway to my goal!! started at 185). She keeps making these comments and worse while I keep losing :) I hope no one else EVER has to deal with this!

    How the heck are you still friends with this woman? I learned a few years ago how to get rid of "friends" who were negative, Debbie Downer types with gray rain clouds following them around. And I've never been happier! By the way, you are an inspiration...I'm also 5'9" and want to end up about 165. Great job!

    I just had to buy an A cup... it was pretty depressing but now that I've read through this post I have to say I'm quite happy. There's nothing to sag :-)

    Let me add in though that having never had very large boobs and gaining my weight in other places mostly.. I always thought it unfair that the girls with the tiny waists seem to only gain weight in their boobs. The one acceptable place to gain weight! Reading this now though has made me appreciate my small boobs, especially because I now have a small waist to go with it!

    Girls with small boobs want bigger boobs and girls with bigger boobs want smaller boobs... I totally agree with the original poster. We need to accept our bodies and be happy and healthy!

    Thank you for posting! Good read! :-)

    This has been interesting! I'm a 48Dish, and IMHO the only boobs that are perky and bouncy are the fake ones. It took me about 2 seconds in a casino in Vegas to realize that those women in magazines, TV and movies are not the reality. The reality is most boobs sag and most women have cellulite--yes, even the skinny ones! Oh, and the men do not care!

    Amen to that!

    I have a friend whos mother and sister both battled breast cancer, only one survived. She can't get rid of her boobs soon enough, and has opted for an elective double mastectomy. If they are healthy, I say be happy with what you've got. They really don't matter.

    I have never worried about my boobs. They aren't too big or too small. They aren't perky. The nipples are not in the "perfect" pornstar place. No.

    But they have fed 2 babies and my man doesn't care. :smile: I say, well done!

    I caught this post out of the corner of my eye as I was going to search the message boards for breast issues. lol

    I have an almost 2 year old son and gained almost 70 lbs during that pregnancy. I lost the 70 lbs but am not happy with the way my body looks now. Stretch marks, saggy belly and saggy boobs. I am 25 years old and hate my body.

    DF and I have been going through a rough patch and one thing that keeps lingering in the back of my mind is, how could I ever been naked in front of anyone else, ever again! I know it sounds weird but what if DF and I break up. I don't think I will ever be comfortable in my body with these things I just can not fix. :(


    I actual lived this. My DH left me after 19yrs together and I had never been with anyone else. Talk about stress. I am here to tell you, be confident. I am dating a new man and he loves my body. I still am not as comfortable as i was with DH but that will come with time. You learn to love your body and the rest will fall into place. And hopefully this will be a nonissue for you.

    I was able to retire my BRO or my Man'sier whichever name you want to call it.

    I was happy my boobs are going away.

    I have huge boobs (38 G!) and have worried about them shrinking and sagging too. When I lost weight in the past they totally deflated - they look much better when I'm fat! LOL, but, like someone else said - it's all about priorities! Would I rather have nice boobs but be this overweight? Or saggy floppy boobs at my goal weight? I think I'll take the saggy floppy boobs..... my DH is used to seeing all the saggy floppy parts of me anyway! LOL

    Girl, I am 43, have had 6 pregnancies, so I do know about "lifting them up and setting them in my bra" ha! It's ok!! It's really ok!! REAL boobs look like that, and trust me, NO man will ever kick you out of bed for it -- trust! Thanks for making me laugh :)

    My wife and I have a very old and dear friend. For decades she joked that she was the founder of the 'itty bitty titty committee'. For all of us, it was a running joke for decades. Then she felt a lump in one of her breasts. Within a week, she was in surgery, and had to have both removed to try and save her life.

    For a few days, we didn't know if the doctors were successful, until all the preliminary reports came in. After that, she went through a period of tears, asking 'why me?'. My wife and I were with her constantly, whenever we weren't at work.

    Now it's years later, and her attitude is that she is just grateful that she is alive. She still frets a bit when she comes off the beach, feeling that everyone is staring at her. However, with the one-piece that she wears, you can't tell what she has lost. The important thing is that she is alive. My wife and I are grateful that we still have our friend, now that we're all in our mid-fifties.

    Why all this? It should be obvious.

    Be grateful for what you have, big or small, saggy or firm, as long as you're healthy. Thank about what is one of the single biggest killer of women! If you're significant other tells you it doesn't matter the size, firmness, etc., believe them! Respect their opinion. If you don't believe that person, then why did you choose them in the first place? If you respect that person's opinion on other matters, why not this one? If that person supports you, isn't that the biggest issue?

    I respect your right to be unhappy about the issue, and to want to change something about yourself if you do, I just wanted to throw in what I (either right or wrong) feel is a bigger issue. I wish you all the best of luck!

    Now please excuse me while I step down off of my soapbox...
