Even in school I was in a group called Itty Bitty Titty Committy. Short we called it IBTC. I think I was the president. I have always wanted the boobs and I was so jealous of my friends who had them. So I was not only fat but I had tiny boobs. Not a good combo.
So last night I was getting my night gown on and it really was an eye opener. Not only was this nighty too big but it was WAY too big at the top. I just sat there and stared in the mirror. I was in so much shock I didn't even know what to say. Then reality hit and I knew I was doomed. YEP my boobs were gone. I mean really gone. I don't even think a training bra would do me justice. I even compared them to my husband's and I am pretty sure his are bigger.
WHY!!! WHY!!! I didn't want my boobs to lose any weight...Too late now. So I talked to my hubby about getting a boob job when I get to goal. He said it was up to me but I think it wouldn't take much convincing for him to pay for them. My reward for losing the weight was going to be a trip to Hawaii. Now I am rethinking the whole thing. Lets see Hawaii? or Boobs? (no brainier) If I can find a doctor who will be willing to do it, with me having MS, then I think I will. I think a size C would be a dream!
Then there is the pain and not being able to lay on my tummy for 6 weeks. I am a tummy sleeper so that will be hard for me. And it crossed my mind that I will be 50 in February. Am I too old to have a boob job? My life is like 1/2 over so why worry about them now? So many thoughts going through my head.
So right before I cried myself to sleep, my hubby said "IF you decide to get them, you need to ask how much they weigh, so you aren't going to freak out at the scales." What a thing to think about. How funny. I think THAT weight gain would be OK with me. But he has a point. Decisions so many decisions..
I'd do it. I don't think I'll ever need a boob job, but I think a lift is in my future.
ReplyDeleteAs a woman who has always had big boobs, you're not missing out. Of course it's probably a battle of what you don't have, you want. I wish mine were smaller. These big bazombas are heavy. They hurt my back and make it harder to workout. I am constantly strapping them in with 2 sports bras just to try to have them not bounce so much as I workout. Good luck on your decision.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one Lesia. I am almost 99.9% sure this is why my "mind" won't let me lose anymore weight. As I get older, there is a noticeable difference, but to add shrinking to it - well it depresses the heck out of me. I am almost 49 and when I get to goal, I'll be working on getting something done.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahaha! My reward when I hit goal is a reduction! I have had too big boobs since Jr. High, and now I am a 38 DD....I dream about being a B! And like Traci I have to wear 2 bras when I workout. AND my back hurts AND clothes don't fit....at least with small boobs you can stuff. ;)
ReplyDeleteI would do a lot of research before having that done. There are a lot of risks involved and from my understanding the risks increase the older you are.
ReplyDeleteI don't think big boobs are all they're cracked up to be. I am a medium size and everyone I know that has large boobs hates them. Everyone I know that has small boobs always looks super cute in slim fitting shirts. I think they would more get in the way than anything.
But, you also have to be happy with yourself and look at your self everyday. If you feel that this is what you need to do it and your husband supports you then, go for it. I just really encourage you to do your research and have a few conversations with your doctor because deciding it truly is what you want.
I'd rather go smaller!! ;) The grass is always greener on the other side. I'll be looking into lifting the pair I got in the future (and maybe reducing the oomph as well!).
ReplyDeleteNOPE! Not going to weigh in on this debate. Man boobs are a whole different creature to deal with. : )
ReplyDeletegrass greener and all that...big boob downfalls: too much bounce when working out (or just walking), sag, forget about sleeping on your tummy EVER again, wearing a bra ALL the dang time, they get in the way of your movement, heavy enough to put stress on sholders and back, majority of fashion doesn't look "right"...and the list goes on...
ReplyDeleteOh...boobs...they have such power don't they. Either they're too big, too small, too saggy, blah blah blah. You'll have to decide this one for yourself. Only you can know what is the right choice for you. Do your research and make sure you use a board certified doc it you decide it's a go. There are some great plastic surgery sites on the web that have reviews of all kinds of doctors...
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute! I say if you want boobs you should get them.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get down to the weight I want to be, I am definitely getting my boobs done. I'm a DD now and I plan on staying a DD. I'm also getting a tummy tuck, bodylift and my arms done. :)
ReplyDeleteVain? Nope ... I'm not going to lose all this weight and not be happy with what I see in the mirror.
I love having bigger boobs. I've never hated having them. In fact I'd love it if they were larger. The only drawback that I've ever experienced is in the summer with them getting too hot in my bra. I sleep on my stomach no problem, I've never had back problems etc.
If you're anywhere close to Sarnia, Ontario, there is an excellent plastic surgeon there at the Bluewater Clinic. My friend had her tummy tuck done there, her friend had a body lift and another had boobs done. ALL are very happy. They have teardrop shaped ones now that hang more naturally. And as with everything, you get what you pay for.
Oh, and I'll be 50 this year. It's never too late and you're never too old to make choices that you believe will make you happy.
I so would not get a boob job so many things can happen with them. Your chance of getting breast cancer can increase. They may look nice but really? when you are 80 or 90 and the rest of you have aged your boobs will still be perky and you will say what the hell. :) I really don't think you would be happy. Remember you are a loving daughter of our Heavenly Father. He has made you to be you. Not someone else or to look any different. I also have no chest. I am happy with it and my sweet husband never says a word until he hears about a friend going through breast cancer and then he will say if that ever happens to you, you will not have to worry so much cause if they have to do a masectomy you are already flat so it will be like nothing has change. (gotta love him)
ReplyDeleteIt is your choice but please please please research it. Love ya!
OMG I have a post drafted and ready that talks about me being a member of that same darn committee! I will have to run it tomorrow. I wrote the same thing about breastfeeding boobs! Small world:)
ReplyDeleteI'm small-boobed, but I don't mind. I think it would be really hard to have big ones. My best friend from college is huge on top and I went shopping with her to help her to find an outfit for her class reunion. It was terrible for her. Nothing fit correctly because of her bazongas.
ReplyDeleteBut, I understand that you want proportionate boobs and if you think they would make you happy, you should look into it. Errr... I mean "them".
Have you been to Hawaii? It's pretty great!
I'm right there with you, no boobs for me!! I'm totally getting a boob job. I want a B 1/2. :)
ReplyDeleteI say GO FOR IT! If your small chest is a pain point for you, you might as well just "nip" that in the bud! Ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm a 34 H/I right now... and Wednesday I go for my reduction. Too bad we can't just do a transplant. I have plenty to go around.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to relate to this, because all my life I've just wanted to have little boobs. I was a D cup in middle school, and kids called me "The Golden Gozongas".
now, hopefully, this time next week I'll be a solid B or C at the largest.
But I do have to say: it's YOUR body. If you feel really strongly that you need to have larger boobs, GO FOR IT. Look at the research. Currently, there is NO correlation between implants and cancer as there was in the past. They're pretty safe, but you could be trading off sensation for looks. Remember, if your breasts are an important part of your sex life, you may want to think really hard, because if you loose sensitivity you may not be as pleased with your larger looking breasts!
When I get this weight off, I'm going to get a reduction. When I was 10 years old, I went from being flat chested to a C cup ~ over night. Don't think I ever got to wear a training bra. I hated it, guys never knew I had eyes!! Right now I'm a 44 DD - it's awful!! Also want a tummy tuck, never had a flat stomach either. For me it just about being a normal healthy size. I can't wait. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be happy with what GOD gave me!
ReplyDeleteCame back to reply to the comment you left on my very similar post:) Funny how we were both thinking about the same body part at the same time! I have always wondered, in the back of my head where I don't voice thoughts, if my ass-man hubby is only that because it is what I have. Maybe, if I had cleavage, I would find out that he is actually a boob man and just never told me. He read my post today and said "Your dad said more than a MOUTHFUL was wasteful." I told hubby HE said THAT, not me dad. I will be interested to see if you do anything.
