Plastic surgery is unfortunately not a future possibility due to finances.

I'm single, what man would ever want me with saggy boobs? Maybe it's the PMDD talking, it's makes me so depressed!

I'm 59 Jenn, and when I noticed mine heading south I thought 'Well.... they'll pull the wrinkles out of my face if nothing else'

I was just thinking about this today, and I'm so happy that boobs will firm up eventually, even if just a bit I have a really large chest, seriously I could give Dolly Parton a run for her money and I have had nightmare visions of losing weight and at under 30 be one of them ladies who flip their boobs on their shoulder when they shower (and it stays there!).

Thanks Ladies!

I'm so use to being judged by how my body looks (mercilessly teased at school from 2nd grade on and at home by my older sister who that it was fun.), that I tend to forget that all men are not shallowless dogs.

Sigh, I'm going to stop thinking about it and focus on me for a while finding a perm job and living a healthy lifestyle. I was going to do the online dating thing, but I just don't feel it's the right time. Financially, I'm only spending $$$ on what is necessary for basic life. Was unemployed in the spring and had to live off of credit cards that were already way up with medical expenses. First a perm job, get the finances in a pattern. I know that there is a great guy out there for me when I least expect it.

I am almost 41 and have lost 100# (so far) and KNOW what you are talking about but for me lfiting weights is helping (at least I have pecs to fill in some of that skin, right?).

I have pretty good skin for my age so I hope to see some tightening up too, but if not: there are always really good bras!

Best of luck to you!

I went for tummy tuck consult and while I was there I asked about getting the girls to stop pointing in the wrong direction (down, of course). I wondered if the surg. could take some skin from just above nip and pull my breast upwards without using implants or excess scarring. She said she would need to do a lollipop incision (down from nip to bra strap) and couldn't do my idea w/o implant.

I'm not doing any of this anytime soon, but it's nice to dream!! For now, I love the power of a great bra and also just ordered black and nude color spanx

Jenn, lingerie, lingerie, lingerie--- until esteem comes back up to where it dang right should be!
