PLATEOFSTARS's CalorieKing blog
Thursday, Mar 25 2010 - Saying "Ta ta" to my ta-tas.
View PLATEOFSTARS's food & exercise for this day
I've always been a large chested woman. It was just part of the definition of who I am... "the one with the big boobs". They entered the room before I did. They were a spectacle even! I remember I went to this women's charity event last summer where you could buy 50-50 tickets. $10 for 10 tickets or for as many as would go around the circumference of a woman's chest (didn't have to be your own).
You know how many times I was asked to step in to have my breasts measured in tickets? At least a dozen. By the end of the night, the woman selling the tickets had memorized how many tickets my breasts would yield.
I would get all sorts of attention (albeit, usually negative) based on my breasts. Definitely one of my "prominent" features.
So you can imagine how deflating to my personality it has been to lose them. Not that I didn't want to get rid of them, mind you.
They made running look ridiculous. I would nearly choke myself trying to do back bends in yoga. My mobility was certainly restricted when it came to reaching across the front of my chest. Laying down on my stomach was always an interesting effort in finding the best place to rest on or between them. It was impossible to find pretty lacy bras. All bras I did find, no matter how wide the strap, dug into my shoulders. And occassionally, I suffered back pain from them.
So yeah, I've spent a long time wishing they were smaller.
When I lost weight 6 years ago, I lost some of my breasts but I never imagined it would be possible to lose quite as much as I have this time. I've gone from a 40 DD+ to where I am now which is between a 36 B-C.
I know I've lamented over their droopiness before, but the problem is still there. Friends have tried to reassure me that they still look great and that the skin will eventually firm up... but I'm feeling a little hopeless in that department.
I'm still getting used to being a woman with "average-sized" boobs. Definitely loving the lack of restrictions having smaller boobs comes with!!!
No matter if I liked having big breasts or not, I always felt sexy in them. I don't necessarily feel sexy in the boobs I have now. A few months ago I came up with the idea of maybe getting my nipples pierced. Definitely not for everyone and if you asked me a year ago, I would have said it wasn't for me either.
But I did end up going ahead with it (earlier this week). It's not a breast lift or augmentation but I have to say I do feel quite a bit more excited about what I look like underneath my clothes.
A personal choice that has made a huge difference, and at least it is reversible.
So, this blog is a sort of "adieu" to the boisterously big breasted woman I once was.
Tata to my tatas and hello to a healthier, leaner, fit, and happy me!

Raeanne! I know what you mean!! In spanish there is this word "aguada" that PERFECTLY describes the state of my breasts today... they are flat pancakes with raisins on top when I lay down FOR SURE.
I used to have some pretty sexy "girls" and darn it, I want to feel that sexy in the boobs I have now given that I have this new, leaner body. :-)
V - that video looked real! I was like, what the heck? I didn't know we had muscles under our breasts... and then figured out it was fake. Thanks for that !! ;-)
And I'm glad my talk about tatas got a giggle - perfectly alright by me! So glad you're back around... I'm starting to realize just how much I've changed too.

This blog made me laugh a little. I do know people who have gone through a similar thing, it's like saying goodbye to part of your identity and I understand that has to be tough, so I'm not making fun of that at all, but I can only read 'boobs' and 'tatas' so many times without giggling! I hope you are able to fully embrace your beautiful new body - you look AMAZING in your pic, I have been gone so long I wouldn't have even recognized you if you changed your s/n!

I am totally with you in the breast area. I know people say they will firm up... but I am hopeless too. When I lay down they are all but flat, and little whispers of what they used to be. When I am on my side they look literally like limp, deflated balloons... it's pathetic. No joke. I never thought I would actually feel like breast enhancements would make me feel "better" but I do... I would never do that though. I am still a 36D, but without a bra it's ridiculous. I'm with you... good for you in "taking back" your breasts. We are women... mighty, strong, sexy... no matter.

Youch! I hope they're feeling better! I'll go sky diving but I can't bring myself to pierce my nipples.
And yes, the skin will bounce back to a degree. Keep doing chest presses/exercises, they'll help a Lot.

How fun!
:) I, too had my nipples pierced, a few years ago, when I lost a bunch of weight. It did change how I felt about my littler boobs. 
:) Now they are huge, again, and I took the rings out a couple months ago. Why? I am not sure. I would do it again in the future.

Yes indeed - actually, it didn't hurt during but certainly throbbed after.

Good for you girl for finding a way to feel sexy about your breasts again! Do what you gotta do to feel good about yourself is what I think.
For what it's worth, I think you look amazing!
