What's With The Butt Hate?

I keep seeing a lot of women talking about wanting to get rid of their butts. That's actually the one place I DON'T want to lose weight. First of all, my husband would kill me and I think women with butts are hot. I like having one and even if I didn't have a husband, I would still want to keep it. So explain to me why women want to get rid of them. Isn't that something that makes a woman a woman?

Edit: I mean women who are already thin or fit, not ones who want to lose weight as a whole and maybe SOME in their butt! And not lifting it up, but getting rid of it. :happy:

    That depends on SOOOOO many variables, no answer is correct. But IMO, my wife has a fantastic *kitten*, but if I could set my beer on it while she is standing, I might ask her to work on it. I prefer an *kitten* that is a little to big than to small, but there are limits. ALSO, if a person is uncomfortable with a certain aspect of their body and wants to "fix" it then by all means that is their decision. No right or wrong, just different.

    I'm trying to life my butt up and kill the cellulite, not get rid of it! Dang, men need something to hold onto :)

    As for the boobies - it was a proud day when I could once again walk into Victoria's Secret and purchase bras. Now, they're good, and I pray they don't shrink anymore!

    I have always had a small flat one, so I am trying to get mine a bit bigger and rounder :blushing:

    I think it all depends on just how big their butt is. A good butt is awesome, but there is a thing as too much of a good thing. I'm at goal, but it's a constant struggle to make my size 4 butt higher and tighter than my size 14...

    I wanted to get rid of some boob too...went from a 38D to a 34D, very happy with the size they are now.

    I only wish I HAD a butt! Haha! Mine is flat!! I'm just starting to do some lower body exercises to build some muscle there and lose some of the fat so I can actually SEE my bum! Hahahaha!

    I definitely understand losing weight as a whole and including some in your *kitten*, and I understand wanting to lift it as well. But I see some really beautiful women on here who are already thin who want to get rid of it. So I guess that's what I meant.

    I get the boobs thing, too. I am pretty average right now, but when I was a skinny ballet dancer as a teenager, they were almost gone :( But I don't plan on being that thin, so that shouldn't be a problem!

    I'm working on tightening mine up. My Husband is very supportive, but he'd start force feeding me twinkies, if my butt or boobs started shrinking too much.

    I NEVER want to loose my butt lol.

    Before I married my husband I would always get compliments from guys; It makes a girl feel good.

    I use to want to get rid of my booty(I was about 16) but now that's the one thing that I love the most about myself! The only problem it gives me is I have to get 2 sizes bigger in jeans because my butt wont fit into my 15's but the pants are so big around the waist!!

    One thing that I've had a problem with recently and maybe someone here can help me!
    I'm soo scared that I'll loose my boobs!
    I use to be a D I got pregnant they went up to a DDD and now they're down to C's.
    I've always had self esteem issues when it came to my tata's but I think thats one thing that's really slowing me down from loosing the rest of this weight!!

    One reason I am not happy with my butt is that I CANNOT find jeans anywhere that fit properly. My waist is smaller, so waistbands gap & sag when I buy the size needed to go over my hips/butt. I dont want to be built like I a boy - I agree that curves are what makes the woman - but I would like to get some new jeans....havent bought any in years. It is truly frustrating. I was told to buy the bigger jeans & have them professionally tailored to fit. I just cant make myself spend that money on tailoring. I keep hoping someday I am going to find a brand that works - and doesnt look like "mom jeans"!

    I have the same problem! There are a couple of jeans that I really like though that I tailored myself! It is pretty easy there are some how to's online that go step by step and have pictures!

    I hear you! My problem is more my legs. My family all have big muscular calves and thighs (even at my heaviest I didn't have to do much toning and people will ask me what I do for my legs...nothing!), and that's the hardest thing for me to fit into jeans! And don't get me started on knee-high boots! I have to special order them!

    I am 160 lbs and between a B and a C. I've found in the past that I stay at a solid B unless I get really thin (like in high school, doing ballet). But that took a lot of weight loss (I was 115 lbs of muscle from ballet, so I was pretty thin). Oh, and I'm 5'3.5"

    I have wide hips so it makes my lower body disproportionally big. it's better than having none at all, it's okay if it looked good but it doesn't. I don't want to get rid of it though, only the extra fat around it.

    My guy loves my butt too.... I wish it was a bit smaller and tighter but he cannot enter a room without smacking me in the booty... I feign irritation at it but secretly I love the fact that he can't keep his hands off me.... :love:

    We have talked and he does NOT like boney women.... and I have no plans of being boney.

    I, unfortunately lost half of my butt and most of my boobs, :( . I have always liked my butt, it was nice and full and round but after 2 rounds of insanity, I lost half of it. I still have some decent junk in the trunk but I've been doing a workout called the butt bible to try and revive it a little. I'm afraid to loose what I have left. As for the boobs, I have always had a small chest but now I have the boobs of a 12 yr old, WHAAAAAA :'( Those were the first to go. But atleast I'm healthy and fit right :)
