Calling all small chested women...

Pohudet

Don't worry girl! It is nice to have small and perky boobs on a small and fit body. Three years ago I lost 20 pounds and my cup B remained cup B, while all of me became two sizes smaller. Unfortunately, I lost them all too fast, so I gained all that weight back. Hopefully, this time it will be different, with the help of my fitness pal!:flowerforyou:

being healthy and in shape is more important than having big boobies. and B cup is NOT small, stop being filled with the stupid lies that society tells you. Be healthy, and appreciate you healthy body instead of being vain. Plus small boobs look better than saggy big ones when you get older.

As I gained 40 lbs, I went from an A to a B. As I've lost 35 of the 40, I've gone back to an A. I don't find that to be a problem, especially since I'm starting to run again. A small chest doesn't bounce as much as a larger chest. My husband's very happy with the compact me. I'm happy to have my little A's back.

Yeah, I am a little worried about that too. I've been a small B throughout high school and college so far. I want to lose only about 10-15 pounds so I really hope my butt goes before my boobs. :P

Okay, so I guess I need to reiterate what I meant. I have a small chest, I've been had abusers in my life that told me no one would find me attractive until I had larger boobs and a smaller tummy. This is NOT why I'm asking this question, but why I feel that men don't find small chests attractive.
I am worried that if I lose anything from my breasts I will not be able to look the way I want because they will sag. I have no idea what they were before I gained weight because I haven't been under 160lbs since I was in 6th grade, before I got boobs. This is not something superficial, but something I was just wondering as a comfort thing. I still have no idea what someone may or may not look like after a large weight loss transition, I'm a visual person.

Before I gained I was a small B. There was no sagging and I was told that I had the most perfect breasts. Now, I am almost a C. I hate it, as now they sag. That is so gross. I used to envy large breasted women, now I feel bad for them. If you are really self conscious get implants. If I was young and sagged I would get a lift.

I'm not trying to get into an argument, but this is kind of hurtful. I have always been large breasted. At the age of 14, I went from an A cup to a D cup in one summer. I was actually thin when this happened so it wasn't from weight gain. It happened so fast that my skin didn't have time to adjust and they've always been "saggy" bc of it. I've struggled my whole life with this and been very self conscious of it because young girls are supposed to have perky breasts. I'm just now starting to appreciate my body for what it is, but comments like this don't help. Women with big breasts that sag can't help it just like women with small breasts can't help that they're small. We are all beautiful, so let's try not to put others down. Be happy that you don't have the back pain I do, but don't put large breasts down for sagging. One day we will all sag everywhere so let's just be nice.

Agreed. There's no such thing as bad boobies.

For those folks who are expressing discomfort with the way their boobs look, there's a project online called the "Everyday Breasts Project" or something like that, on a community I used to visit called vaginapagina. I can't Google for the exact link here at work, but it's basically a project where normal, everyday women send in pictures of their breasts. The idea is that we have a completely wonky idea of what breasts should look like thanks to the media, and it's sometimes helpful for us to be reminded of what real, un-photoshopped breasts look like. Big, small, uneven, saggy, perky, close together, far apart...all are normal. Highly recommend looking it up if you are uncomfortable in your skin and need a dose of reality. They have them for other body parts, too (butt, private parts, etc.), and it's super reassuring!

It's so important to love what you have and be comfortable in your skin. As another person mentioned above, the fact that they are healthy is what is truly important.

I didnt' think you were asking because of superficiality the first time, but I thought you were looking for positives of being "small chested" As for sagging, I went from a B to a full C and back down to a barely B. Not gonna lie, they aren't perky, but they still look good and with the right bra, they look great! I think if you loose your weight slow and steady your skin should be able to bounce right back and they'll be great!

I don't want to have just flaps of skin hanging there, I'm worried about this with my stomach as well. I don't have very good elasticity in my skin, they're already a little droopy. I'm not worried about clothed so much, but I don't want to lose every bit of confidence when I get naked in front of someone for the first time and I've just got to flaps of skin where my boobs used to be. Like someone deflated them.

If said person was going to comment or think anything less of you because you don't have the boobs you think you should then he/she aint worth getting naked with

Then I shouldn't get naked period, because it's for myself.

annabellj

I just lost two pant sizes and my boobs are fine. actually they are bigger cuz of the muscle underneath. the girl smashing my boobies said so

jamierose86

Hard to say... I'm a 34 D, and my chest hasn't gone anywhere. In fact, with my waist getting smaller, they even appear larger than they were. Small-chested women - I am so jealous of the cute shirts you can wear!!!! Yeah, cleavage, whatever....I'd rather be a B and not have to worry about my breast falling off when I run!

Contrarian

I think you are giving your breasts a bit too much importance. Focus on being healthy and learning to appreciate your body as it is. No one can tell you with any accuracy what your body is going to look like when you lose weight. You will have to wait and see.

Please just try to concentrate on getting strong and healthy and enjoy your body for what it is. It's transportation for your mind.

ElementalEscapee

I'm a D cup but my flabby legs, arms, face, and stomach isn't worth it haha. Screw big boobs, they're just fat :P

Katie1951

If it's any help I just had to buy new bras after a 40 lb. weight loss. Same cup size, just down from a 40 to a 38.

qtiekiki

I will help you feel better about yourself! I am so small that I can not even fit into an A cup. I've lost 35lbs and they stayed the same size but I have worried the whole time about getting any smaller. See, your situation could be worse!

But at least they didn't get any smaller, right? Haha. I've had a hard time coping with mine not growing, even when I was pregnant.

Oh, at least you didn't go through the whole spectrum. When I was pregnant and nursing, my boobs went from B to DD. Then after I weaned, they were empty saggy B. The exercises, at least, made them a little more perky.

Soapstone

I cried today because I noticed that my girls are getting smaller. I know it's stupid, but I always flat chested; the one nice thing about being bigger was I actually had boobs!

Soapstone

Please don't take this the wrong way...

But not all of us guys are all about a large chest.

Just saying.....:glasses:

He's right... quality men value a variety of body shapes.

I came in here just to say this too. Don't worry about it so much. If your man is gonna leave because you've gotten fit and lost a bit of your chest, then I say you should kick him out now and get it over with, he's not worth it. If you're worried about not attracting a man because of it, then you shouldn't - think of it as a way to weed out the superficial.

I'd much rather whatever my wife has than any fake ones... Gross. Don't do it... Unless your job depends on it. Then maybe change careers.

I'm not worried about my husband- I LIKED THEM and wanted to keep them, that's all.....

In my best shape, I was flat all the way. Think Kelly Ripa or Natalie Portman in "Black Swan." And I thought I looked awesome.

Noadi

Do your breasts get noticeably larger when you gain weight? Mine got a little bigger but not enough to ever go up a cup size. I do expect them to get a little smaller as I lose weight but honestly that doesn't bother me. Quite honestly a small chest looks better on someone smaller than I am now which is what I will be when I've lost the 30lbs I want to shed. My breasts will match the rest of me.

ColCul

Fortunately, if you lose around the mid-section as well, your boobs can tend to look bigger. At least that is what I have been telling myself. God Bless La Senza!

ttkg

Yeah...this is starting to happen to me and what makes it worse is the left one is deflating at a quicker rate. It is now an A cup with the right being a B cup. :huh: I have found one bra so far that has removeable padding so I can take out the right side and leave the left in and I find that it works...I just wish i had bought one in every colour!!

On the upside my *kitten* is smaller - huzzah! :ohwell:

MB_Positif

Well, after losing around 40 pounds I had a friend say, "you've lost so much weight, but you've kept your boobs!" I think they got a little smaller, but not drastically enough for them to be wiped out completely! Cup size might change, but mainly because who knows what size a bra really is, most of them vary so much from brand to brand anyway!

juliesummers

I'm 5'6", generally slim, and also have very small breasts. They infallibly shrink even smaller when I lost a bit of weight (even as little as 5lbs). Sorry I don't have a better story to share with you.

bikiniready201

I went from 165 and a D cup to 125 and a small B, sometimes A cup.

What can one do other than surgery to bring them back, or gain weight...but since putting on 10 lbs the extra weight seemed to be more comfortable in my mid section rather than the chest. My large chest is gone forever, and its okay. I've found that Victoria's secret miraculous bra has helped out a few outfits but all in all, its my body and I'm gonna rock it!

I love this! It reminds me of the vagina project where all sorts of women were getting casts done of their vaginas by a particular artist to denounce the porn ideal and show women that we come in all shapes and sizes, and we're all "normal" and perfectly acceptable. I'll check out the project you're talking about! Thanks for posting!

I can totally relate! I've always been a closet member of the IBT committee, and I have a love/hate relationship with exercise, because I don't want to lose my girls (what's left, anyway). I was a 34B and now I've noticed my bras are too "big." Argh. I wish I could take the last 5 pounds I need to lose (that is sitting in my lower belly and just WON'T go away) and put it in my chest.

So unfair....

maxmariesfo

I had to gain 20 pounds just to have boobs. Now I want to lose those 20. So the boobs are gonna go.
