i don't know what the big deal with having bigger boobs. why do women want big boobs? i hate mine. the last time i was measured i was 32E at 16 yrs old. now i must be a 32d or around the same. i hate having big boobs-they get in the way i would love to be flat chested. especially with my size being 5ft. i'm a real life betty boop combined with my dark hair and everything!lol! but does this mean i'm fat? i weigh 124 lbs which for my height is overweight but cos i have big boobs does it kind of cancel out?!i know it sounds stupid but i guess i'm just trying to not think i'm fat.

god i would love to erase my boobs!to all those girls out there who want big boobs-don't.its really not so great especially since it is near impossible finding a bra this size-everything starts at 34 and then up.

You are not overweight for your height. Your BMI is 24. This is in the healthy range.
I hear ya girl! I'm 17, 5'1 and I have C/D's that I hate terribly. I'm hoping that this weight loss will take some of them away. Being really short with big knockers is the worst!
i know!especially when you get all the unwanted ogling from guys.and sometimes sick perverted men!lol! and the worst thing is every1 i know-my sisters, cousins and other women all have small ones. my mother has always looked at me and said -you didn't get them from me-god knows who you've gone on. it makes me feel so odd. 
I have an A cup and I feel so lucky!  I have never wanted a larger chest.  All the women in my family have larger chests and have such a hard time buying clothes.  My aunt is having a breast reduction, finally, since now insurance is covering this surgery.  I know several people who have had reductions and all are extremely happy they had it done.


I only had sort of big boobs when I was overweight. I was about a 36c-d.
But when I lost weight, I lost most of my boobs and it was sad. Now I'm at 34B. Really, my chest was the only body part that looked good for me then (and got me the most compliments :[). It's funny but sometimes you have to decide between fat and boobs or thinner with less. I picked less.
I just noticed--- backtobasics, I think you're my C-C twin!

And just to contibute-- I have less than an A, one of my friends has a D, another has a B-- it doesn't matter! You are who you are. Your weight is healthy, and I'm sure you're exaggerating the way people see you. *Most* people look at your personality before your chest.

Learn to love yourself and the world will love you back. (I just though of that, you know, drinking my green tea and such... ;-)
i can't have a breast reduction cos its against my religion plus its scary!but i can complain!its so weird though-how can u be a 32e at my size?i look so weird! my butt and the rest is ok im tiny framed.iam unhappy with my bust and stomach.sigh.

maybe loosing a little weight will help you carry your chest a little easier - it is one of the places where weight comes off fairly quickly so thats good for you to hear i guess!!??!

if breast reductions is not a possibility, then you have to learn to love what you have - make the most of htem!!
Hi me again! i dont want to lecture u again ( have you read my email to you yet?) but i think you are going through  what i went through about 6 weeks ago. with my wedding coming up i got so stressed and the thought of everyone staring at me all day and the photos - i got so depressed i spent a whole night crying and hating myself for a few weeks after. BUT I got over it because the worrying and starving myself etc didnt get me anywhere - is only when i joined CC i lost weight healthily so you must not worry! I am sure you will make a beautiful bride - think positive and enjoy your day and the lead up to it because as we both know - it goes so fast. This may sound silly - but why not book yourself and a friend or sister to a spa and havea  nice facial and massage - my mum and I are going in a couple weeks. that always makes me feel attractive - having my manicure etc. and perhaps book a nice meal out with your fiancee - while he is still your fiancee - and relax and chat and laugh together xxx sorry - i hope im not being patronising or dismissing your fear - i just dont think its wise to be so stressed so close to the wedding.
I know how you feel. It took me years (like from the time that I was 12 til now at 24) to really find bras that fit right because my mother had no idea since she is a B. I am typically a 36DD, but it fluxuates a little sometimes.
My husband isnt really the jealous type, but he has come close to getting in to so many fights because some creepy guy will be staring at me, or when I worked in bars and restaurants, try and grab me.

They make yoga difficult, I cant do some of the poses, even the simple ones like Child's Pose, because it hurts my chest or I cant breathe from them.
My shoulders hurt almost constantly. And it is really difficult to find button down shirts that fit right without that gap between my boobs, and it is darn near impossible to find swim suits that fit.

Ive lost weight before, and didnt lose hardly any in my chest (I went from 200lbs to 155lbs in just a few months a few years ago)

I do wonder how much of my weight is in my chest and if it throws off my BMI at all.
I was wearing a 34b when i was 7 years old!!!  in 5th grade - I wore a perfect 36c. Now!!! I'm a 40DD at 25yrs old!  I would give all the extra to any flat chested woman who would pay for the surgery (as long as I get to go back to a 36c and they were perky again!!!!!).

I feel your pain, honey!  Sorry this has to happen to you!  It's genetics so blame your mom or if she's not so very well endowed - blame the woman in your family that IS!!!

*HUGS*
My boobs are pretty sizeable, especially for my size.  I wear a 34 D, but I weigh 100-105 lbs.  It's so difficult to find clothes that fit me; I feel like I'm out of proportion or something.

I used to hate my boobs, too; I wanted to be like the skinny, flat-chested girls.  But now I embrace them, even if they do add a little extra weight.  I think all of us big-chested women should be proud of them!  I mean, there has to be a good reason that almost all women want big boobs, right?  As long as they don't pose a medical problem, I don't think there's anything wrong with large breasts.
In today's fashion market boobs are a bummer. All the cute clothes are better suited for flat chester women. In fact I think all clothes look good on flatter people. Especially since many of us are busty and short, we tend to look fat. Though b/c I am overweight I and thankful for them b/c there is nothing worse than being overweight with small boobs, then I would look like Humpty Dumpty instead of a voluptuous woman! :)
Sadia121-- I feel your pain!!

Being a 34/36 DD I often say "well I'd weigh less if you'd take away my boobs".  But, the more I think about it, it's probably not that much.  A pound of fat is pretty big, so mine must weigh a pound or two MAX. 

It's hard to find stuff that fits.  I have to safety pin all of my button-up shirts... With 3 safety pins!!  I can't say I'd want to be flat chested, but I'd like to not have "them" get in the way all the time!!
Speaking of this....

What brand of bras have you girls found that really work for you???

It's a b**** to find a good one so I'd like some advice from some fellow big boobed women.

My favorite one is a Maidenform... 
i know!the worst thing is when you wear atop or jumper that is your size-a size 10 or8 would fit me-but then my boobs get in the way and my top is tight only cos of them!because im tiny frame i would easily fit into a size 10. think about it i'm a size 32 back size-but why oh why did i have to be an E!!!!!!!!
I thought of breast reduction too. I am 23 and where a C/D. People think when I mention I wanna reduce, they say I am crazy. But big boobs and overweight kills a person's back. I dont know if my insurance would cover it though.
guera- I am a 34D, and my favorite bra is Victoria's Secret IPEX Body by Victoria  full coverage or demi bras. They are really comfy and are lightly lined so even when you get cold, no "headlights". :)

Your breast size has nothing to do with how healthy or fit you are.  You're not overweight so I wouldnt worry about it.  Your breasts are going to make THAT much impact on a scale.   I'm 5'8" , 25 years old and I have 44DDD's.   I'm a size 26 (US) and even when I was a size 16 they were still 36DD's.  so, when you gain weight, of course your breasts are going to gain it too, just like when a woman loses the weight, the breasts are usually the first to go.  I wouldnt worry about this too much, but if they bother you THAT much, i would consider a reduction.  If they're E's and you're 5'1", you're bound to have problems with your back later on.  Good luck to you!
Agreed, VS IPEX are the best bra I have ever encountered. They give the cutest shape.
