female only Mourning the girls

[Goonie 86]

Seriously ladies....I feel as though I should have a funeral for my boobs as theyve clearly shriveled up & died....if a funeral is too weird what kind of symbolic somber ritual would be appropriate....I find myself needing support both literally & figuratively please tell me I'm not alone!!!

Oh yeah. The girls are gone. All I can say is thank goodness for bras at my age:) Not only mourning the boobs.

I need to find a way to let my old self go. I don't recognize myself. It's more than the weight loss. I have become a new me on the inside. I look back and have some sadness for the person I used to be. How do you let your old self go when you have become a new person?

I started with DDDs. I'm only about 6 weeks out and I can already see a difference in their size!

If I lift my boobs ups I can see a ton of saggy skin...they were saggy in my early 20s so I'm used to sag lol...after I have kids I want to get them lifted and maybe implants if there isn't tissue left

Ladies I feel your pain.

My girls have left for somewhere else. I need a "Border Collie" bra--it rounds them up and points them in the right direction

I went from a 48 C to a 38 "L"--for long. They just sadly hang there, longing for the old fat days--pun intended.

Seriously, I'll just buy the bras to lift em' up and deal with it. I can't go back to the old me.

I look in the mirror and frankly I don't recognize myself. Who is this woman? I've been called "skinny" for God's sake!

I AM NOT COMPLAINING. I feel so much better. My knees and back are so much more happy having over 400 pounds removed from them. Any weight you loose, multiply it by 4--that's how much stress you are taking off of your joints. I was told that by an orthopedic doctor.

Should I have a party and call it: "Kat's fat woman funeral"? I could make a mock coffin with a big box and place copies of photographs of me at three hundred plus pounds on top. I wouldn't dress in black. I'd wear bright colors and adorn the fake "coffin" with black.

Heck, if we didn't have a "burn ban" on right now because of the drought, I could haul the fake coffin and copies of photos into the back yard and burn it.

I'll have to think about it.

Blessings,

Kathleen

I'm right there with you. They look okay inside a bra underneath my clothes, but when the bra comes off, let's just say those sweet chariots swing quite low. The sad part is I'm only 30 and haven't had any children yet, soooooo....yeah, who knows what the future has in store once they swell up with pregnancy fat, then deflate again.

Thing is, my boobs have always been kind of saggy, even when I was a slim teenager. They look the worse when I bend over without a bra or lift them up in my hands.

Edit: I started out as a 40 - 42DD. Now I'm in a loose 36D. I should stop being a bum and get a smaller bra, but finding the perfect bra is such a pain.

I finally bit the bullet and did a bra fitting. The woman who helped me was great and it has made a big difference. I had been "shopping out of my drawers" but ran out of options. Without a bra still sad but the right bra is magical! And I was 44DD before and now 36D. I was always afraid to do the bra fitting but I am so happy I did.

Any one have a good suggestion for a place that will do a fitting? I'm shopping in closet now, but I'm thinking of buying one good bra a month or whatever it takes. I'm just two months out but I deserve a good bra!!!!

Strangely I've gone from a 44D to a 38DD. I've lost a lot of volume though. They are saggy and sad. They used to be fuller when I was a 44D!

Nordstrom is wonderful for bra fitting. They are highly trained in this area.

I am wearing a shirt that used to be tight on me and I look down and my boobs and stomach are disappearing! Oh well! Someday after kids I'll get a mommy makeover rofl
