In All The Wrong Places

It's great to lose weight in all the right places. So wrong to lose weight in all the wrong places. Of course it happens. I don't seem to be able to fill my bras out anymore. I wore my favorite red dress and it was so baggy up top that I had to pin up the top to make it fit. I simply didn't have the, uh, range to fill it out. You'd think the trade-off for weight loss would result in renewed buoyancy. Yeah, it doesn't. The boobs are smaller but they ain't exactly upright. That's one hell of a trade off. There is some renewed firmness, for sure, but I somehow imagined a pert renewal reminiscent of a Page Two girl from the London Sun.

I have also noticed a lack of curvaceousness. I thought the benefit of weight loss was a renewed sense of confidence and a confidence in curve definition. Instead, there is more definition but much less...how do I put this?..oomph. Great, I wanted to feel even more innocuous than I already am.

I've lost 30 pounds. I'd like to lose 20 more. That would put me (for my body type) at reasonably slim. I know I will have a sense of renewed good health and some sense of fitness and that's good. However, I also sense I will have a level of sex appeal comparable with Al Franken.

Funny conflict to deal with. Being a woman is a bitch.

OMG 30 lbs? Congratulations! You rock! Yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. I went from 38C to 34B and they are so tiny. I am not happy with my chest, but I'm happy that I lost 45 lbs.

Now that your red dress doesn't fit anymore, time to buy a new one!!!! :-)

Okay, girls. How did you do it? 30lbs? 45 lbs? I need to know. We are going to a wedding in Cancun in August. I promised I would don a swim suit in public....
