So…I’m overweight. I know it. You know it. I’m working on it. But, for the first time in my life, I’m actually somewhat OK with what body is looking like. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE for my stomach to shrink a bit…but something tells me that no matter what I do, it’s always going to be messed up because of my c-sections. Love my kids, but I sure hate what they did to my body! But, for me to say I am somewhat OK with what my body looks like, is huge. I was looking at myself in the mirror before my shower yesterday (come on, you know totally look at yourself nude in the mirror too!) and rather than pick apart all the things wrong with my body, I actually was starting to find some things right about my body. Other than my eyes. That used to be my go to response…”oh well I like my eyes“.

But I have ONE major complaint. If I am going to be fat…can I at least have plus size boobs? Shopping is hard enough when you’re overweight because nothing ever fits right. It’s like designers look at plus sizes and cuts everything in a big box shape to make it easier on them, but makes us look even bigger than we are. Then there’s the whole issue that every single plus size top is made for plus size boobs. I don’t have plus size boobs. Almost every top in a plus size store is too big for me. Or they have these weird seams to outline the boobs and my seams are down around the bottom of my ribs because plus size does not mean ONE SIZE FITS ALL BOOBS.
Plus Size Boobs
However, I got to thinking…if I had bigger boobs it would totally take away from my messed up, never going back to normal c-section stomach. They would push my clothes out further…off of my stomach…making me look a bit better. I mean, right now my chest looks like a speed bump. Of course, I’m not going to do anything surgically to fix this…well…until I lose weight. Once I lose the weight I want to lose, I am going to be a plastic surgeons dream patient. I have a wish list of things I would like to nip, tuck, puff out….my husband better start saving!
So…until then, I am going to be using my Fitbit Flex religiously, updating My Fitness Pal regularly and working out at the gym. I’m hoping that by this time next year, I am down 50 lbs or more!!

I have BIG BOOBS and I’m a Big girl too but a lot of the tops that you are referring to are still TOO BIG for me too. It’s crazy! So I know exactly what you mean! Good luck with the weight-loss, I need to get of the “Lazy Train” and start again myself.
Lynsey @MoscatoMom says
I am a TOTAL advocate for plastic surgery. I did it and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them. And this Fall I will be going in for another procedure. Removing my “Jones Chin” that I had even back in high school when I was 100 pounds. CANT WAIT.
Brittany says
My problem is I am afraid to loose the weight because I know my boobs will go away! Sad but true. If I do loose the wait and loose the boobs I would totally get plastic surgery. I want to be happy with my body, after all I am the one living with it.

There was this cartoon in MAD Magazine years ago where a woman is standing in front of a scale eating yogurt & smiling, and it says, “The good news is, you’ve gone on a diet…” then in the next panel, she’s standing by the scale with a smaller bust, frowning, and the caption says: “…the bad news is, you’re losing it in all the wrong places.” This is pretty much how I feel when losing weight. LOL!
Jennifer @ MySweetSanity says
Between the stretch marks and surgery scars (not from the kids) I am sporting even if I lost weight my stomach would be a mess. I have asked my husband… Do you think if I get enough women together that we could get a good group discount on plastic surgery? I want everything sucked, tucked and lifted.

I completely understand what you mean. In the past few years I’ve become “plus size” but my boobs are definitely not. I ran into the extra cup space issue when trying on swimsuits this year.
Brandy says
I TOTALLY FEEL YOU ON THIS ONE! My boobs have never been plus sized. I’m kind of on a Medifast break & holding after losing 70 lbs, so no longer plus sized. After I finish the job, yes I am getting plastics. Even though I’m only 35 I suspect I need my chin done too.
Perhaps there’s a prancercising solution LOL (only Leah would get this one, everyone else it’s ok to think I am totally ca-ray-zee!).
Gina says
TOTALLY get it! I’m the same way… I’m plus size, but my boobs, far from it!
Karen says
I know what you’re saying. Last year when I lost 62 pounds when I was in the hospital, I had no boobs. That was the first place I lost the weight.
Dee @ Cocktails with Mom says
I have the opposite issue. I’m on the petite size but have large boobs. Wht I find most inconvenient and frustrating for me is trying to fit into anything one piece.. dresses etc which is why I don’t wear them. If I get my true size the bottom portion fits but everything up top is smooshed, doesn’t zip or button up. If I go a a size or two larger, I’m am lost in all the fabric. I’m ok with my body but for once, I’d like to fit into a nice dress!
Shauna @ Momma Candy says
Absolutely! I would love to get boobs. I’ve nursed three babies for a combined five years of nursing! They are tired and deflated. I use the VS bombshell bras that increase the cupsize by two sizes and it just looks so much better! I’m promising myself that by 35, I will have them. I don’t want to get boobs and go through a surgery where I can’t hold my babies while there are still babies to hold. I’m waiting until they’re a little older. I don’t want to be like, “Hey, kids. Mom can’t hug you because she got boobs. Sorry you scraped your knee..”
Tricia @ Night owl mama says
sounds like a plan and PLUS Size Boobs I’m all in. I think mine deflated since having these last too breastfeeders.
Jennifer says
I have them and they aren’t always the solution. Maybe it’s just because mine aren’t fake so they don’t stay up where they “should” be but I do not like having big boobs. I wish I could wear certain dresses or bathing suits, or even certain bras.
