Sick of my breasts... when will they shrink?

[Houston Heather]

This is going to sound odd. I was always really flat as a teen, pretty much an A cup.

I wished and wished... when I started gaining weight they went up to a B. DH was happy. So was I.

But now it's the dead of summer in Texas. It's hot and humid. They're starting to sag a little bit. I hate underwires and "support" bras, but I hate sagging too. I want a bra with fabric, adjustable things, and closures only. I can't really wear that now, can I? The novelty has worn off after 13 years.

I'm ready for the losing weight breast reduction. I would love to get back to my A's now.

Tell me they'll shrink before I get to goal.

I'm down 34 pounds, about 40 pounds to go. I am 5'7.

Boy do I know what you mean. I was an A cup until I had kids and bf. I was a D when bf and now I'm a saggy C. I would love to go back to my perky A. breasts are definitely over rated.

I think with a B cup you can wear almost any kind of bra you want to. Sagging isn't just due to size, because a B cup is still relatively small, it has a lot to do with age. I think your breasts will probably lose weight along with the rest of your body, but that won't change any sagging. Consider yourself lucky, some of us are a lot bigger than a B cup.

I am an E and lemme tell you, I would do anything to get rid of these things. I have neck and back pain. I had a previous reduction to a C and they came back. I am considering another reduction as they do not get smaller as I lose weight, but my husband does not want me to be smaller than a C but I want a B.

I thought I had saggy breasts after BF'ing 2 little uns and being a large size to begin with. Then I watched 10 Years Younger 2 night's ago. This is a UK makeover programme where they get someone, ask passers by what age they think they are, then make themover (sometimes using surgery) to see if they can get them to look 10 years younger. Check out the before pictures of this woman... then think yourself lucky!

First of all I'd just like to say congratulations on such wonderful progress!

And I guess I have a totally different viewpoint for my own self. I was always very small, A cup, and it never really bothered me that much up until about 3 years ago and I began considering getting implants because I just wanted that fullness I had never had. So I got implants and went from A to DD. And I'm very pleased with the outcome and fill out tops a lot better than before which makes me feel better.
I guess reading about others who really like being smaller kinda helps me though because ever since surgery this year I've been going back and forth with the pleased feeling to not so pleased. Seems as though some of the tops I used to be able to wear I no longer can wear without not looking right, and I also tend to get a little obsessive about the whole looks thing and wish that I was back to where I was before because I didn't obsess as much then.

Anyway, I don't know if this really has anything to do with what you're talking about but thought I'd add it in.
