Ladies only

Okay, so first off, I am 5'7" and recently gained a LOT of weight (from 108-125 in about a month) and a lot of it went to my chest. I'm now at a D cup and I was at a C before. Does this mean I should gain more wieght so it goes other places, not just my chest? My hip bones still protrude a bit and my wrists are TINY. What should I do?

Your body will even out....focus on being healthy. You could use to gain. But your body will distribute itself once it is in the right place. Remember you are healing!! If we are good to our bodies then they will return the fav, I mean just think you have boobies!!

What happens if you only gain weight in your chest?

You're a veryyy lucky bitch, ahaha

wow, lucky you! I wish that would happen to me but I'm destined to be flat chested forever. Everything goes to the other end of me :p

pinklady, i just have to say i love your name, I'm obsessed with apples, particularly pink lady. Just had one a little while ago actually!

I love my name too!

I eat at least one a day, and currently have about 60 of the pink lady stickers stuck to my bedroom mirror, just from the past month!

JEALOUS! My boobs were the first place to lose and the last place to gain. . . tiny titties unite! 

Sigh. I used to be a C cup and now it looks like I'm wearing someone else's bra. Also, have any other ladies that are recovering on here having problems getting their butt back? Absolutely no weight is going in that area and it still hurts to sit down on hard surfaces. Also, when I go out on the weekends I have nothing to shake now ;). Just wondering if I'm the only one or not...

 From your recent posts it doesn't seem like you're doing enough to have your butt back...

If you really want it, you know what you have to do. More than 1200 calories obviously! Not having a go, it's just if you had a C cup before, surely that's some incentive itself to get better?

Thanks for all the good advice! So does this mean that all the fat I gained went to my chest and I should keep gaining so some more goes other places? Or am I okay where I am?

Good point, pinkladyaddict. I'm working on increasing my cals, etc. It's a slow process but I'm trying. Definitely an incentive though should be getting a nice butt back. Perhaps I should make a sign like "Do it for the glutes/boobs/etc!" on my fridge.

note: I would do that except I have room mates who may or may not be freaked out by that. :)

 I agree that you have to eat more, but I feel your pain. I lost a total of 4'' off my hips (in the span of 2 weeks) and even though I've gained back over half the weight I lost, I've only gained back and inch on my butt. You should probably do some butt-specific weight training to help it along... that's the only way I was able to get an inch back! Also, if you can increase your overall body-fat (and I know that seems scary) it will probably help bring back the butt curves...I stopped working out for two weeks, and I've gotten (a bit) curvier since my fat % basically doubled.

Yeah hopefully I can start doing some squats and weight-lifting as soon as the doctor allows it, which should hopefully be within the next week and a half or so (note the hopefully!). Today I was basically eating all day and thinking about how nice it will be to not have to roll up a jacket to sit on top of when I'm in the library and I've had a nice amount of fat in my diet too. Slow and steady though....  :)

 I don't think the fact that your weight went to your chest should affect your goal weight. As long as you're in a healthy range with a little wiggle room (ie. not the very lowest you can be while still considered "normal"), you should be fine.

If I were you, I would have my doctor check my labs. If hormone levels, kidney function, white blood cell count, etc. all turns out fine, then you don't have to gain anymore. However, if you want to gain so that you're wrists are bigger and stuff, go ahead!
