She said you know you're getting too fat you your underwear no longer fits. I had to buy a new bra today, my bra now has three hooks instead of two :(

This will be my new motivation when I wake up in the morning for the gym...".your bra has three hooks, get out of bed and go to the gym"!

    I dream of a 2 hook future! I am currently on the four hook with an extender plan! :). One more thing to add to the "what I'm looking forward to when I lose weight list."

    My bra has three hooks and I wear a 36B. Do bras usually only come with two hooks?

    When I was skinny my bra had 3 or 4 hooks. That is why I am getting a reduction when I get to a decent weight.

    What therapist comments on your undies?

    And FYI - my bra will always have three hooks. It's not evidence of my juicy fantasticness. It's just support for Mary Kate & Ashley...

    My bra has three hooks. Granted, it's a nursing bra, so I think they assume if you're nursing, you must need all the hooks you can get. Even at a B cup..

    Actually, my sports bra has three hooks as well. I kinda like it. Makes me feel all awesome and secure.

    I'm surprised your therapist said something like that, though. Maybe I've had good counselors in the past, but I can't see any of them commenting on stuff like that..

    She didn't say it TO me, like telling me I was getting fat (or talking about MY undies per se)...we were talking about weight gain, it was more a general statement. And when you're comfortable with someone and you've been seeing the same one for years, you'd be surprised what comes up in conversation.

    I've actually seen an A cup bra with four (FOUR!) hooks. And then a D cup with one. I scratched my head at that.

    But my indicator is if the ladies are sitting on my stomach while wearing a bra when I'm sitting, I've got an issue.


    *looks down*

    damn. Still got an issue.

    I think it's an indicator of the quality or sometimes just the style of the bra. Higher qualiy bras tend to have more adjustment features and have metal hooks and adjusters rather than plastic. Then again, even some high end bras only have two hooks when they are meant to be a sexier style.

    I never correlated bra hooks with my weight, thanks! :(

    mine has 3 but I am also a G cup hella scared of reduction surgery so hopefully MFP gets these babies down. LOL

    I wear a 32C and mine always have three hooks. I think it's just a variation in the manufacturer. I've never seen anything without three hooks, though, in any size. Sometimes I prefer for the band to be a little looser or tighter depending on what I'm wearing and how I'm feeling.

    Good for you, though, find motivation wherever you can!
