I have a similar figure/issues and my weight seems to go first to my bust. I know other women would tell me to be grateful (and to a large degree I am--consider the alternatives), but it's really upsetting when your shirts, dresses, and jackets don't close any more or gape at the bust. In the last year and a half I gained 10 pounds that just stopped clothes fitting me well anymore, meaning it's hard even to buy new things. Suddenly I became a big fan of the volume look I bought a scale so that at least I will start to see if I gain/lose weight. Before I was never really worried and just went by the fit of my clothes. My theory is that if I can lose at least 5 pounds, then I will see when I start to creep back up and can reign myself back, rather than waiting until I am near tears trying to get dressed in the morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162694 Thu, 27 May 2010 12:05:36 +0000 Maya 162694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to shrink to a B Katie. </p> <p>Scarlet, unlike most people losing weight, I don't have strict guidelines or rules. This works for me since I do not have trouble with portion control or some of the other problems commonly faced by those who are losing weight. I was also never really overweight. The point is that my method works for me but probably won't work for everyone, especially if one needs to lose a substantial amount of weight or needs to learn what a reasonable portion size/calorie intake is. It's not intuitive for everyone. </p> <p>In short, I eat everything I want, but simply eat less of it. Small changes in my diet were sufficient for a 10-15 pound weight loss. I am vegetarian so my diet is already full of veggies and legumes, and I keep my feet moving whenever possible. I hate exercise for the sake of exercise and I know I will never maintain any kind of workout, so I just try to integrate as much movement as possible in my everyday activities (might be a bit trickier in suburbia but it works for me).</p> <p>Back to bosoms--I don't think the 5 pounds I have left are going to result in 2 cup sizes lost, but I guess we will see. I just don't like how sensitive my tissue is to even small changes in weight. At 120 pounds I could still theoretically be a healthy weight and very much a normal size (probably a 6) but my chest would probably be creeping into GG or H territory. I'm tiny now but things change and I would like the peace of mind knowing that even if my metabolism changes, I won't have to worry about my chest exploding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162654 Thu, 27 May 2010 05:32:38 +0000 Scarlet 162654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Maya!

It's great that your weight loss is doing what you need it to. Count me jealous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162592 Thu, 27 May 2010 03:04:08 +0000 Debbie 162592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162588 Thu, 27 May 2010 02:59:07 +0000 chewyspaghetti 162588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just never know where you will end up, Maya. Who knows what another 5 pounds will do on your tiny frame. Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162554 Thu, 27 May 2010 02:26:48 +0000 Rosie 162554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is really terrific. What a mood booster!!!! Extra confidence heading in to work tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162550 Thu, 27 May 2010 02:20:38 +0000 Maya 162550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It probably is weight loss related. The main point of losing weight was to make sure my bust didn't get any bigger, so mission accomplished.</p> <p>Elpgal, one size smaller is not really enough to make me change my mind regarding surgery. I still have all the same problems I did before. </p> <p>My ideal size is a 32C (before alterations, of course). I'm never going to get there naturally, unless perhaps I decided to starve myself. I might reconsider if I can get down to a 32D, but it's very unlikely. I am just five pounds away from my goal weight, which is the lowest possible healthy weight I can be. That means that a 32E is probably the smallest I can hope to be naturally, and frankly, it isn't small enough. I don't know anyone who is built like me. Usually girls with my bone structure, height, and weight are A's, B's and C's, and with good reason. It is just uncomfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162546 Thu, 27 May 2010 02:17:16 +0000 Angie 162546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know how much this means to you, Maya. So, CONGRATULATIONS!

I know you said you don't usually lose there, but maybe that's changing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162523 Thu, 27 May 2010 01:45:51 +0000 elpgal 162523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine how relief you are feeling right now :)</p> <p>Ideally what cup size would you like to get down to to abandon surgery? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162513 Thu, 27 May 2010 01:20:08 +0000 Mellllls 162513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>um yay?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162512 Thu, 27 May 2010 01:18:12 +0000 Itari 162512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news I'm glad you're happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gasp#post-162510 Thu, 27 May 2010 01:15:40 +0000 Maya 162510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just went to use a store credit I had at Intimacy, and when the fitter came in to check the fit of a bra I was trying, she told me it was...TOO BIG! She brought out a whole slew of 32E's for me to try and all of them fit. I couldn't believe it! This is the first time in my life I have taken a smaller size rather than a larger one. I am delighted. </p> <p>Of course I'm NOT delighted that I have to buy new bras, but at least they are smaller and not bigger. </p>
