Mixed Messages


You know what drives me crazy? The fact that women are somehow expected to at once be skinny AND have big boobs. Um, excuse me? Boobs are mostly what? Oh yeah, FAT. What kind of mixed message is this? When you lose weight, you often lose some of it on top. When you gain weight, your boobs often get a little bigger. It's just the way it is. It's silly for women to expect to be able to (naturally) be slim and have large breasts. I think you have to have some kind of super-lucky genes to happen to be built that way.

I have recently lost 17 lbs (was 146 lbs in mid-October, am 129 lbs today!)... and, yep, my favorite bra is starting to fit badly. But, I would rather be slim, lean, fit, etc. and have small boobs. Seriously. Eating poorly and not exercising is not a good way to "enhance" your breasts. It's not like you'll look any better that way!

I'm just trying to convince people that the media is often full of crap, and that breasts of all sizes are beautiful and sexy. Don't let pictures of Victoria's Secret models make you feel inadequate in any way. Don't let your boobs be the reason you're afraid to get out there and get healthy. Don't feel bad about what you have!
