    I understand the whole "accept yourself for who you are" movement. Really, I do. But, sometimes, you just wanna rock big boobs in a hot dress. So, do it.

    Well said!!

    I was a 30 GG when I graduated high school. After a successful reduction surgery, I was a C. After gaining weight, though, I'm now a 42 DD. I'm actually hoping and praying that I lose back down to a C! That tends to be the last place I lose, though, contrary to what many women say. I would just like to be able to buy a standard bathing suit or a cute top without worrying if the girls will be supported enough!

    God I would give anything to go from my HH's down to a DD or less! That being said, I hear what you're saying. First, make sure you're wearing not only the proper size of bra but also a proper style for your shape and form. If you haven't already go to either a Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, or Lady Grace near you to be fitted (stay away from Victoria's Secret, they're not very well trained for this!)

    Try on a bunch of style and see how they make you look and feel. My guess is something with some light padding and a little push up will make you love your girls again!

    I'm ****ing celebrating. Every time I have to buy a smaller bra, I (after getting fitted, to test for movement) jump for joy.

    I've had terrible back pain thanks to massive breasts and they're a major obstacle when I'm doing my martial arts or going for a nice run. Not that boobs are bad, I just don't like having massive ones. Not to mention I like button-up shirts and those are a no-no when I need a small for the waist and a large for the "girls".

    I did have a bit of "oh, my..." reaction as my boyfriend is a butt-and-boob kinda guy, but I've actually found that there are more advantages to having smaller breasts than reduced back pain and easier movement - if you know what I mean. (If not, you can message me for details - imagine eyebrow wiggles before so, though)

    I also haven't yet had children. The women in my family tend to have their girls expand and stay there after having kids, so I want to lose what I can naturally now and try to avoid needing surgery in the future.

    smaller boobies are more sensitive so they are more fun during naughties! also they won't sag as much when you get older!! I finally filled a c cup after getting fat but my gut still sticks out farther!! so I will take smaller boobies hahahaha. Although I am trying to do incline bench and push ups to perk these puppies up hahaha

    I'm noticing mine seem to be shrinking - I haven't lost a full cup size yet, but my bras don't seem to be as supportive of late and I seem to be tightening up the straps more so that things don't seem so dosh darn jiggly.

    I have a few small breasted friends who'd kill me for saying this but wouldn't mind losing a few cup sizes. I'm currently in a D cup - and, I'd love to be a B.

    I'd like to recomposition myself and lose enough fat to be Athletic (and I can't imagine it yet with my face attached - but, that's what I'm hoping all this exercising will do for me.

    We'll see where I am in a year...

    My only fear about my boobs is that when I lose them they'll look like deflated ziploc bags Lol. I already hate them enough as it is. The funny thing is I don't like boobs. At all. Including my own. Since I was a kid I wanted them surgically removed. I can't afford that (yet).

    I've been pretty sad about my loss. I never had big breasts before I gained weight, about a B cup. With pregnancy, nursing, weight gained, and weight lost they are just pretty pathetic now. Small and floppy, and I can't even fill a B cup and not even at my goal weight yet! I imagine a boob job in my future, if there is ever money for it. Until then, I'll just shed a tear every time I see them :(

    Celebrated! At highest weight, was 40DD, lost 40 lbs total, and now thrilled that I am back to 34D or 36 C depending on the bra. I have no qualms at all. I love it!

    I could actually see making them into B's, but I'm too afraid of surgery, so that won't happen. I can run so much easier now (when I actually DO go for a run).

    I haven't lost much weight overall, but my breasts are definitely smaller. At first I was disappointed, but then I caught them in the mirror and noticed that instead of looking blobby (sorry if that's TMI) they had a better shape and were a little perkier. I'm hoping that I don't lose too much overall, judging from my mom and sister I might not, but I'm still at the beginning of my weight loss so who knows.

    padded bras.

    Mine don't flux much- but enough. And I just get good bras- with padding in all the righ places.

    boobs don't make you as a woman. seriously- imagine if they were completely gone- you still aren't NOT a woman- you're still every bit as much of a woman as you were before.

    Learn to identify with who you are- not objectifying something on your body. I'm not my *kitten*- or my boobs. I'm Jo. And Jo is a fabulous woman.

    I'll be a fabulous woman with or without boobs.

    thank you JO. You're logic wins again. And you how to say it just right. :flowerforyou:

    I'm still mourning mine. Went from 40D to 38C so far. I'll be pretty content if they stay in the B/C sizing. If not, that's why padded bras exist, right? and push up bras?
    I am excited at the idea of them shrinking and maybe not hurting so much when I run. That's something I'm looking forward to. Being able to fit into a sports bra and not have the girls wobble around everywhere when I workout (because let's face it, the semi sports bra that I'm wearing now just isn't doing a good enough job)

    I'm a 34A (SOMETIMES a B). Please tell me more about how your C makes you feel inadequate.

    I went from 46 DDD to 42 D.... I love it. It's a sign of how hard I worked to lose 90 pounds.

    Bras are well and good, but when they're off...not so happy. :cry:

    Well I can't help you there. I always had huge breasts and I hated them. I had a breast reduction about 10 years ago..... best decision I ever made. I actually wanted them to make me an A cup but the doctor told me to be realistic (I went from a 38EEE to a large B/small C). Looking back it was the right decision but I actually felt more feminine having a smaller chest. Kinda of like I or my husband wasn't being consumed by boobs!!!! Made me feel prettier and that the first thing people didn't see was my chest it was me. Granted I have no idea how I would feel about breasts being too small if I was born with them too small.... we always seem to want what we aren't born with.

    I hope that you learn to love them regardless... because they are a part of you and you are beautiful and feminine regardless of your bra size.

    After losing 10 lbs, mine are the perfect size for me now. They're still kind of big for a shortie like me, but I like them much better. I went down a band size and one cup size.
