You may have been wearing the wrong bra size all along-many women have too large of a band, and too small a cup size. A 32D is the equivalent of a 34C or a 36B...the other sizes will seem to fit, but not actually fit correctly.

Wearing a too-small cup can compress your chest and make it look smaller.

On the other hand, my boobs get exponentially bigger when I gain weight...If I gain 4 inches in my waist, I'll gain 6 in the bust.

Unfortunately, for me it goes both ways...When I lose four in my waist-I lose 6 in the boobs too...and when that happens, things aren't "looking up" like they once did, if you know what I mean.

Count yourself lucky, girlfriend...don't question a good thing!

Bra sizes. Can anyone relate to this? I wore a shelf bra most of my life. You know, leotard or tank, bras were decorative only, for the lace detail. No idea what happened when I gained weight. I think I finally woke up to the dreadful reality in the mirror and got fitted for a 38C with lots of foam.

I dropped from a (tall) twenty pant to a twelve without losing more than twenty pounds, and oddly enough, I'd been a size twelve pant at 145, and was now a size twelve at 185+. That was mysterious enough without The Boobs.

I was fitted for a 32D bra. Never in my life, except maybe between two and four in the afternoon when I was nursing.

Naturally, as i'd never been built like that before and rarely thought a lot about clothes, I didn't know how to dress for that body, and was constantly pissed off to find men gazing at my sweater. For the longest time I'd check for salad dressing dribbling down my front. At forty I'd finally got the bosom I prayed for all through junior high school, and when I got it, it annoyed the hell out of me. I suppose I'd had a long time to invest my loyalties in leg men.

So...was I just a "late bloomer" or is this a normal part of weight loss?

Anyone else had figure changes other than simply getting smaller or returning to one's original size?

Does anyone understand it? Is there some predictable pattern or is it just...see what the bosom fairies bring in while you aren't looking?

Very confused,
