ugh. I've always had large breasts. Ever since I was 11. And they are getting so deflated, and saggy, and they look horrible. I dont even like to look at them anymore. If I could walk around with my arms above my head, to lift them up all the time, I would.
I was so not expecting this. I didn't realize how much weight went into my boobs. Thankfully, my husband is being so supportive. And I've never felt bad about my body around him (for the most part anyway). But I'm scared of what they are going to look like in 30 lbs, or 50 lbs more lost, considering what they look like now, and I'm not even that close to goal!
I was ok knowing I'd have extra skin on my stomach, and arms. But not my boobs!
Mine are looking deflated, too. I've never been perky; I went from flat-chested at 13 to having big, floppy, saggy boobs at 14. They've been different sizes between 14 and now, but always saggy and very droopy. After I'm done losing weight, I'm getting them lifted--I've started saving up and am just going to do it. I'm tired of long, floppy boobs.
I have never considered mine to be perky, but mine sure are deflated as well. Deflated, saggy, and icky. But....Im not gonna focus on that. Theres nothing we can do. Just focus on getting healthy and dont worry about them. Most of us on here have boob issues, so you arent alone. Hugs!!!
Count me in on the deflated boobs! DH and I have discussed having them lifted (I originally thought I would want a reduction, but they are smaller now) along with a tummy tuck. Now that we are doing the c25k, I noticed that my lower stomach is looking better and better all the time. I don't know what the final outcome will be. I definitely look better in clothes that out of them! When I reach goal (whatever that may be) I'm going to take at least 9 months to a year before I decide about surgery. Some days, I think yes. Others, I feel like my droopy boobs and saggy lower stomach are my "battle scars."
I'm seriously starting to consider a lift. But I dont know. Sometimes I kinda feel like you do - that they are battle scars.
I've started running and biking, and I'm surprised that my stomach too is looking better.
They also just feel weird to me, since they are lighter, and I can tell they have saggy skin. Oh well.
They were perky in 8th grade. And thats about it. When they were a c cup. But after that, they started to sag - though for how big they were, they weren't too bad.
And the card I got from my dad for my birthday, totally made me laugh, because its not like he knows I'm feeling this way about my boobs.
I really worry about what mine are going to look like when I reach my goal.
Right now I'm a 34K, yes you did read that right a 34K.
It sucks, they are already hangy and droopy now. I hate to think about what they are going to look like in a year.
I know that will get the surgery to put them back up where they are suppose to be no matter what. I'm only 28 and I feel like I have 80 year old boobies!!
There is hope. Mine were getting a bit deflated as I started losing weight. I am a 32G. Now they have firmed up and maybe even gotten a bit smaller (I can dream).
Iam happier Yes mine are saggier {not a word] but now they are not huge and I can fit them in clothes they where never porportionate to the rest of my body to begin with so they never fit in cute clothes and made me look even heavier I don't like that they are longs but mine always hung and I NEVER was able in my life since 4th grade to not wear a bra. so I FOR probably the only one am happy. And my DH as long as I still have pleasure from them he does Ido he does{smile}
I hate that mine are shrinking. DH isn't too happy about it either. I was a D+ at almost 180, then a D, then a D- now I am a C+ but I'll probably be down to a C or less once I am at goal.
I seriously hope I can afford to have surgery to get my D's back like 6 months after I hit goal! I miss them. *cry*
Am I the only one who doesn't mind? I think bigger boobs just make clothes harder to fit into. I personally think anything B and beyond is fine (hand-held size , though I have discovered that even an A is tolerable.
I wouldn't mind if mine got smaller, because I agree that tops would sure fit a lot easier. What I do mind is the "rocks in socks" look, with them dangling down around my waist! If I can afford it, I'll just get them lifted. Depending on how much I lose (or not) from them, I may also get a reduction but that's kind of spendy so I'll wait and see.
Does anyone know what else to do about it rather than surgery? Hubby would definitely not agree to surgery, even if it really got me down (we had this discussion about my stomach numerous times), and on my own, I definitely could not afford it. And I don`t really want to accept sacrificing my breast, which are the one part of my body which I always loved! (I`m happy to sacrifice their size but definitely not their shape!)
I had breast reduction surgery when I was 19and am now 42. My surgery was because I was extremely large and physically and socially suffering. At the time, I told the Dr to make them AA. He refused. Luckily, he was right and I was still able to breastfeed my sons (with some very specialized help from my midwife). I was still heavy so my cup size was reduced to a D. I was devastated when I had trouble nursing my sons.
Now, I am at my lowest weight since 8th grade. My breasts are a B and only look funny when I bend over.
My shrinking breasts are not troubling me, yet. I still have about 15 pounds to lose and maybe still may wish to keep them rounder. I have more trouble with the loose skin on my tummy.
Well, I'm adding here 'cause I went bra shopping yesterday. I had no idea what size I wear. I had to try on 50 bras (no kidding) and really ticked off the clerks. I started at Bs and Cs but found that these didn't fit. I figured I needed the whole figure girls and went to D and DD. Well, I didn't fit any of those either.
I grabbed a bunch of As and Bs. I ended up buying As--with padding. I was so shocked but these were the only ones that fit. SHOCKED. I've always had huge breasts. I had to go to a meeting after shopping and wore the padded bra and happened to also wear these new heels (I never wear heels).
I felt both very pretty and very fake. Weird. I'm usually flat footed with rounded toes and huge boobs. I was slim, tall, and padded. Who am I?
