Coming To Terms With My Chest

[bluebird]

I used to be a skinny little thing. Then, when I was about fourteen, my breasts started to grow and didn´t stop for quite a large amount of time. So, I became a skinny girl with large breasts that I hated. I hated the fact I had to wear a bra. I hated the fact I looked somehow - curvy, like a woman. In my country, the only bras available used to be up to 75 E (in Britain - 34 DD). Which meant they were too small and too big in the same time. Therefore, I felt I was cursed to live with two horribly-looking-bulky-weird-shaped-I-hated-more-than-anything-else things. Any clothes I put on made me feel fat. No bikini, not even once in my life. Unability to run without holding my chests with both my arms. Always envying my friends, who didn´t have such problems. Always avoiding mirrors. Aways failing to find a well fitting clothes, because the waist/chest ration was unusual.

I was determined to go a surgery as soon as I make some money, maybe after I will have some kids if I ever get to have some. I wanted to remove my breasts completely.

Only recently I found a store - in my country, and it was not in the capital! Suddenly, the shop assistant didn´t say things like: "it has to fit you, E is the largest cup available... your breasts can not be that big," but she actually brought bras with 28-inch bands and cups much bigger that the usual A,B,C,Ds... And these were beautiful bras in colours (something I´ve never even dreamed of)! And of course, there is this great possibility of online shopping, which means I can get these lovely pieces of clothes in sale - hooray! It´s like a whole new world.

I went straight to another store and bought myself a beautiful dress and I felt much more beautiful than I could have remembered.

The surgery is not on my to-do list anymore.

80H / 36FF here ... Perfectly fitting lingerie is a necessity for happy living. Completely, 100% agree :) Very, very happy for you!

<laughing> There's a durn good reason why "Got you knickers in a twist?" // ill fitting underwear ...is slang for being pissed off, unhappy, angry, discontent!

Not sure of sizing outside the UK, but 34HH here! Always had trouble getting bras until recently, but they are more common now.

You should celebrate your curves and remember some flat chested women will pay thousands of pounds/dollars to have curves like ours.

Bravo!
I found I was wearing the wrong size bra, and when I got the right size, I felt like YOU do! I can stand up straighter, and I don't measure as"42 LONG". "They are up where they should be" and I actually feel younger and better dressed! My neck and shoulders are better also!
Good for YOU!!!

Another skinny girl with big boobs here! Way to go! Finding properly fitting bras was such a relief for me as well. After I got over the shock of my new size of course (32F)!

Thank you all... It´s good not to be alone in that.

I´ve got 28 J/JJ. Never knew sizes like that even existed :D But... there is one good thing - during sales, my size becomes much cheaper than any other, hooray to that! I mean - a bra for 6 GBP? Who would have expected that! I got five of them, even if one of them fits well, it´s cheaper than buying one in my country. What a lucky day :) Looking forward for my delivery.

@notsurewheretoturn : I was doing some research recently to see whether there is someone out there who has larger chest than me and found women who got so many surgeries done, that their breasts are twice as large as my head - maybe even three times as large. Somehow, that helped a lot :D

I'm glad there's a good following here and a coming together with women on this matter.
I am not in the exact same position, although my genes in my family do run that way and it is always a possibility. I'm a C, but my sister was an DD-E in high school and cried every single year it was prom dress searching time.Really sad to witness. People also made fun of her. She ended up getting a reduction once she hit an F, but it was because of all the harsh back issues she was having.
I support both sides. If it hurts you physically or mentally as you speak, then do what makes you happy. But I also hear the ladies saying other women spend thousands buying what you have and there shouldn't be so much shame to curves despite the media. I always gain weight In the winter, and while I've spent all December hiding and being ashamed of it, I went to the gym this last week and was like Jesus, okay I could lose a few pounds in my stomach area, but wow, enjoy this breast growth while its here. You do exercise ball stuff and the whole gym of guys stops. Hahaa . So it can't be all bad. I like my chest weight where it's at. But whenever I try to lose weight on the other problem areas, it never stays. I even told my husband last week he should enjoy it while it's here. Enjoy it if you love it! But I agree, if it hurts every day or limits your movement and it is something you do not like long term, then do what is best for your happiness.
