Ok so this is going to sound really stupid but here goes... I'm in my mid 20s and have never been a big breasted girl. In my teens I had barely any breasts and then I was overweight for over 10 years so they got bigger. I was a c cup but never felt like I had nice breasts, more just like I had too much fat there (if that makes any kind of sense lol). Now I've lost all that weight and I'm a size 8 in my tops and I knew it was to be expected that they would get smaller too but now I have literally no boobs. Like I'm wearing an a cup bra but could probably fit into aa. How do I feel feminine in my new body if I feel like I have less breasts than a pre-teen? I know that the fact they've gotten so small means I was never destined to have large breasts but I'm just finding it hard to get used to. My partner loves me the way I am so he couldn't care less but it's me that feels weird. I would not get breast implants (personal choice). Have any of you ladies felt the same way? It's not that I don't love my new body because I do, it's just really confronting to stand side on in the mirror and see barely any breast shape at all. I feel very "unsexy" :(

I'd love to have small breasts, I'll send you some of mine! I understand what you mean about a C cup, i liked being a c, but that was many years ago.
You just get over it honestly. Just like someone else gets over big hips or stretch marks or thin hair! You realise you have your health and they are just boobs! Now I know that's easy for me to say but I also have huge thighs, but I focused on the positives and stopped focusing on it and life was great.
Personally at least if your small you can get yourself a pair if chicken fillets :) I can't take anything out without surgery.
No advice sweet, I am in my early 20s with very saggy breasts in a dd cup. My nipples almost point to the floor. It really sucks but you can't tell when I am wearing a bra and top, so I often wonder just how many other women have breasts just like mine! It sucks and is disheartening but at the end of the day we have our health and our partners love us (boobs and all) and that is really all that matters xx
Loads of us! Contrary to what you see in the movies real breasts rarely point straight out! There is a bunch of bloggers trying to get real images of women out there who haven't got 'enhancements'
If it upsets you so much then maybe consider a breast implant?
I had the opposite problem and I was so unhappy in my body. When I was 23 I had a massive breast reduction and had over 4 kilos of breast tissue removed and my boobs are still really big but more proportionate to my body.
I'm not endorsing surgery or saying you need surgery, it's just an option.

I think i might know how you feel. Iv never had large breasts even if i wanted to and when i gained weight they appeared bigger but just because i was fatter. Then i lost the weight and everything else stayed accept my breasts. Lol...
iv always been sensitive about the way i look and iv always thought that if my breasts were bigger i would look more proportionate and my stomach wouldn't look so much like a tank.
Unforunately, you're just going to have to get used to seeing yourself that way and enjoying the body you're in. And try avoid looking into the mirror sideways!!
I know this is probably not very good advice at all but my breasts got bigger after i had my son. Purely due to the breastfeeding going on. i haven't stopped breastfeeding yet so I'm happy with my breasts at the moment but I'm sure they will deflate when i stop.
I think you should concentrate on all the parts you are happy with and also celebrate losing weight! its not easy to lose weight as I'm sure you know!!
And i think the other thing you could do is focus on the parts your happy with, excentuate them more with the things you wear and also chose clothing that will give the appearance of a larger breast i.e. different patterns and cuts can make you appear to have larger breasts that normal.
And hang in there and embrace all the other parts of you. You are woman and every woman is beautiful!! xx
I have had small breast my entire life. I always felt terrible about them hated wearing and low tops etc. but now I'm in my 40's it's the best I've every felt I know my hubby loves me for me, I don't care what others think and push up bras are my best friend for making them look respectable in clothes. Go buy yourself some sexy comfortable under wear, wear it often if you feel sexy you will feel better about your body. Be proud. Good luck
I feel your pain. I too am a size 8 and barley fill my a cup. I fit well into the youth bras but feel ashamed buying them. To make matters worse my niece on my husbands side who is almost 11 is a b cup. And now I'm the brutt of family jokes. While breast feeding I was a c but since I stopped I feel like I've got nothing but a sacks of skin where my boobs should be. Hubby wants me to get a boob job, but I don't feel comfortable with it. Following your post hope someone else has an idea to help us both
