This may be a silly question, but I will ask anyway.

Currently, I'm loosing weight but my breasts seem to be getting bigger. How does that work? I'm a biology major and this kind of thing goes against all that I've learned so far.

Last time, I lost weight, my breast went down too lol, but this time its different. Is it because I'm getting older?

Is this a hormonal thing? if so, maybe I need to see the doctor?

Are you working out?If so that could make you boobs look perkier/bigger.Mine always get bigger when i'm working out real hard.

Hi Keva πŸ˜„

Yes, I do work out, they seem to swollew towards my "dot" -- I hope you know what I mean, I don't want to be a tart and use the other word πŸ˜„ They tend to stay that way, even after I'm done working out. Plus, my "dots" are wide, so they are sensitive. They've always been wide but my boobs are smaller, so it wasn't a big deal. Now that I'm bigger, I can't bump into anything 😒

LMAO maybe the first time your breast lost excess fat along with the rest of your body and this time you just have breast tissue left or you could just be losing the fat in other areas first,idk..it's good question though.

Thanks πŸ™‚ Well, its a problem thats been bothering me and I was too embarassed to ask before.

I have a pear-shape -- I'm not overly round but I have some cheeks back there πŸ˜› But since my breasts have been acting wierd, my shape looks different too ...

I had to buy new bras last month because I couldn't fit them into my originals anymore. I feel like I'm going though that whole body transformation thing -- you know the stuff that 13 years go through ugh 😒

''it happens. everytime i get fitted at Vickie's, my size changes.

are you on birth control? if so, that could be a factor.''

You're not alone CappyS - noticed that recently and used to embarass me to no end so this thread is comforting! thanks!

Nope, I cannot take birth control, my body is sensitive to birth control -- causes terrible reactions. My doctor insists that I stay away from birth.

The only thing I can do is condoms and the whole 'counting days' thing. Other then that, I have to be really careful.

Oh,I have large 'dots' to,can you say ouch?

Yeah! They can be so sensitive, especially right now 😒 I just want to know is that normal or what.

I was under the impression that your chest size didn't grow pass a certain point...

I don't have medical insurance anymore 😒 I didn't think of th4e expense, I just wanted to go ... oh dear 😒

Because I'm not going to school from home anymore, its been a year in a few months since I moved. My step-dad will take me off of his medical insurance because I don't live there anymore.

Which I can understand, he and my mom do not want to get in trouble.

Girl be happy. I lose weight and I lose my breast-asis. I have a booty too so be happy you got both going on. Guys like it. BTW - when you find out what causes that "prob" let me know.

ahahahahaha, where I live, I think the guys like the a true hour glass figure or just big boobs. My body is just going to through a really arkward stage and I don't know what to do about it :O

Are you a milk drinker? If so are you aware of the hormones in cows milk? They say that it is causing young girls to grow breast at a young age. If you do drink milk try to drink organic milk before it is too late and you can no longer see your feet. Only other thing is being a late bloomer. Also if you live in dorm, form food is bad m'kay. It is like eating @ buffet and easy to over eat every day especially with common school stress.

"Yeah! They can be so sensitive, especially right now"

mine too. i've heard that they can get a little bigger and more sensitive when you have your period, but that's not the problem. i have no idea why mine are so sensitive, they hurt even just rubbing against my bra even though the bra fits fine. i've never had this issue before and yeah, it concerns me...i'm hoping it'll go away soon

Fat is insulation. Excess weight means using insulation against life, whatever the area. That's why diets don't really work long term.

Eating disorders means low self esteem. This type of person feels or wants to be "less than."

Breasts represent the need to give to others. I would suggest releasing this need with the help of affirmations.

About the affirmations thing, there's a course on affirmations in Janet Swerdlow's book "Decoding Your Life" and her and her husband is where this information comes from.

And here I was thinking you agreed with it.

Anyway, surely because it is Christmas everyone is getting uneasy. All the excitement/excess energy/nervousness going around. Some despair because they can't celebrate christmas, some hate it, others are worried about confronting family problems and others don't have families. We ask ourselves questions like "What does it mean? Why is it so important to me? What does it mean to me? How important is it?" Plus it's close to the new year and there's several holidays before the New Year. So yeah. That could possibly be why.

But for him? He's just an idiot that's why.

Hey Cappy,

3 yrs ago I was working a lot and I put on a lot of muscles and my breasts went up two cup sizes (one cup while I was working out, and another one after I quit and gained around 10-12 lbs in a year). My trainer had warned me about it but I did not listen. So, working out your chest too hard is not good.

I have just started dieting this week to reduce not my total weight but also my breast size (they started to become really uncomfortable lately). My goal is to lose 30 lbs in 3 months. I am doing it just basically counting calories (1100 calories a day maximum but Im eating whatever I want) and only cutting back near completely on sugar, salt and whitebread while increasing my daily activity a bit (not using elevators, parking at far places, walking longer during shopping, etc.). After I lose some weight I will start doing cardio and light weight lifting.

It seems working well so far. I have already lost 3,5 lbs in the first week and I dont feel hungry, dizzy or anything like that. Another difference is; I always drink lots of water but since I was taking too much salt with it, my hands and feet were swollen all the time, making me feel like I was fatter & fuller. Now, that went away and I feel much much better.

I also started sun-tanning this week, because a tanned body looks a little bit lighter, always πŸ˜‰

Anybody else is trying to loose weight?

Oh come on...
If a guy is going to flock toward you just because your breast size that guy is a dang doosh.

And always take responsibility for the state of your body. It reflects the mind. The body is the mold.

My breasts are growing too. I have no idea why! I haven't gained ant waight, I'm the same as always. Ever sense I turned 24 and single they have been growing. It's like they are sending out a message to the world saying "look at us, ! We want a man" πŸ˜„ It's embarrising... I swear I have no control over them. The last thing I want is people staring at my breasts. Thankfully they were pretty small to beging with... πŸ˜„

Well, right now I'm wearing a 36C ... something or another lol. Which is a jump from like a year ago, when I was wearing 34B. about 2 or 3 years ago I was a size 32A ... yeah, I've changed.

I wear sports-bras alot at the moment because I don't know what these two thingies are going to do next lol!!!

I think it has alot to do with developement, I lost weight and they are still here so I'm not sure if its a fat issue or not.

I just don't want to be DD cup LOL. For goodness sake, I'm short, I would slump over lol!!!

-SMiLES

I don't want them that big either, my goodness. Because of my shape, I would look really odd in my tops if I were that fricken big.
