Losing Weight As Breast Reducer: Day 164


Evolution Two – week twelve

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Hello Folks,

For any of you out there that knows what it feels like to go running when you have a size D chest, man, is it painful. One of hardest things I face when I gain weight is how challenging it is to exercise. I mean, when you have to wear two sports bras to support your chest, it is not that funny (well-sort of). And when when you are reminded of the raccoon eye joke for big breasted runners...that’s not funny either.

If you look at my before and after pictures you can see a “big” difference in my chest size. I remember when I was in high school on the track team (when my weight was just beginning to yo yo) and the team members had a running joke; whoever had the biggest chest would easily cross the finish line first. I was usually in the top three. I think I liked the attention, but really? It was a painful joke, though I laughed.

I was pretty athletic as a kid and my chest developed late and so it was really hard, at first, for me to be comfortable in my own skin. Unlike most girls, I wasn’t really looking forward to that part of my development. I was a soccer player and it really interfered with chesting the ball. Talk about a painful way to stop the ball. Though, later they came in handy when I played hackey sack....I could stall the sack with my chest.


I have also gotten suggestions to have a boob job! Since I am a naturalist at heart, I really have never been interested in surgery as an option for breast reduction. I am much more interested in exercise as a natural approach to shrinking my breasts (haven’t they come up with a breast shrinking pill yet?). Though, nothing can be done about that other wonderful human quality caused by gravity. You know what I am talking about? All I can say is thank god for support bras.

Here are my pictures…

Exercise: Free
Menu: Protein and veggies

Until next time…
