I have decided that having abnormally large bosom is more of a hindrance than asset. There are times however, when being buxom has served me well. In theater for example, any costuming set during the Elizabethan period celebrated the ample figure. The costuming looks downright odd on the slight figure. If I am playing any sort of, for lack of a better term, HOOKER, well then you've got the right girl. Dogs like them (at least my dogs do) and so do small children particularly those who supped from the ta ta as infants.
Once upon a time, I actually had "C" cups. A nice, normal, middle of the road "C" cup. Then, overnight (actually 2 or 3 months) I went from "pleasingly plump" to "Good Googa Muga". Sigh... It might not be an issue if the rest of my body had swelled along with my breasts but alas, I'm still fairly average beneath the cleavage.
It has become a chore to go shopping. I find that sticking to a few styles suite me best. For example, most things at Target fit reasonably well. The drawback is that I usually have to buy blouses and dresses 2x's larger in order to reign in the "girls" comfortably. This also means that I then have to have some things tailored because, I'm not a size 16 on the bottom but an even size 10. I haven't purchased a bathing suit in, oh, 6 or 7 years and forget about decent sports bras. I do visit Intimacy a few times a year to replace or add to my "Granny" bra collection. Actually, visiting Intimacy and having my fitting was the best thing I ever did. I was a bit taken aback when the salesperson measured me, then returned with several choices... all double F's!
There is a medical downside to being top heavy as well. I now have to contend with lower and upper back pain, indentions on my shoulders from the weight, and difficulty exercising and running are among the worst side effects. Mammograms are intense, generally because I am all gland and it is impossible to have a exam without a questionable lump appearing in the films. I am now considering breast reduction surgery. I've seen a plastic surgeon and I definitely qualify but my current insurance doesn't consider the surgery a necessity. They should try walking a mile with my BOOBS and rethink that position.
For now, I'll just brush off the stares (from men and women) and the nursing jokes and keep on keeping on... but C cups are at the top of my wish list...
Peace
Double F's wow!
ReplyDeleteWow Michelle, I am not sure but in high school I do not even remember yours being a C-cup but you were slim and tone so maybe because you were like a size 2 then they looked smaller.
ReplyDeleteLOL! i too have this issue. (double d's) being a big breast-ed-did woman isn't all that its cracked up to be. however, i do have my moments except for when they get in my way... meh. :I
