This is a variation on the original theme.
I have for years worn my bra a size 42C. Even after losing a bit, I feel my boobs aren't much smaller (amazingly) and still wear my 42C's in the last hook & eye on the band, not the smallest one.
But last week I had a conversation about bra size with a weight losing colleague and she has gone down a bra size since losing 11lbs.
So the next morning I went for a rake around the underwear drawer and found a 40C, it fitted like a glove (only it wasn't one) so I swanned around all day feeling so proud of myself.
Until this morning when I pulled the only bra I could find out the drawer and discovered it was a 38C. had no choice but to put it, was imaging the flabby bits hanging over the straps and the sore bits where the cups would rub, but I had no choice, can't go out in public braless.
But to my delight it fitted, ok the cups were the tiniest wee bit tight, they only left a little red mark, no soreness or bulging over, any where - strap or cup.
So can someone explain to me why when I have a couple of lovely smaller bras, my beige "shot putt carrier" size bra is still my favourite. Will need to bribe myself to put those 42C's in the bin.
And why don't I feel they are any smaller - Ray reckons the fat has gone from my back not my boobs - I reckon that is just wishful thinking on his part
Sorry if all this is too much information.
