That was a phrase that I chanted back in middle school while my arms were locked across each other as I was squeezing my arms...where the hell did it come from you ask, I have no idea. It was probably something my older brothers encouraged me to say in hopes of enlarging my "breast buds." That is what they referred to them as. I guess because they hadn't blossomed into "real" breasts yet. One of the 101 reasons it was so awesome having 2 older brothers...(sarcasm). I'm not sure what was better their endless unwanted comments about my body, or them holding me down trying to put snuff in my lip...sorry I didn't mean to get off topic.
Anyway, I remember going to Wal-Mart when I was about 10 years old with my mom and picking out my first bra(s), one was pink and the other one was blue. They were training bras (no under wire or anything fancy), and I thought they were wonderful. I was so excited about wearing them! Fast forward to high school when I reached first base and my boyfriend caressed my breast. I thought it was so exciting. Even though I was barely an A cup...it was the excitement of the whole thing. I have never been much larger than an A cup. During the end of high school through my college years I was a full B (but that's because I was about 40 pounds heavier than I am now, so obviously some of that weight stuck around in my chest area). Even when my milk came in I was a large B (maybe a small small C) Since then I have lost weight, breast fed 2 children (for a combination of 12 months) and lost even more weight...now I have sockets, empty bags where my breasts were and should be now. There are a few benefits of having no breasts. When I was 10 it was exciting to wear a bra, now that I am 29 that's the first thing that comes off when I get home from work (and somethings I don't even wear one..shhh) I'm only half kidding. I don't wear one when "it's included" in my outfit, you know the built in camis for example. Ok, so not having to wear a bra is a pro...even when I run I don't need one, not sure if that is a good practice, but regardless it's still a pro in my book.
And that's the only pro I can think of. A friend of mine texted me a picture of her breasts the other day (sounds weird when I write that, but she's one of my bffs and I literally laughed out loud). My reply was "hold on and I'll text you a picture of my nipples.) Yes, I look like a 12 year old boy when I lift up my arms. It's not exciting to have them caressed anymore because a year ago Mia was sucking on them for hours a day. Since my breasts have fed children it's hard to think about them pre-baby, pre-nourishment. Hopefully other women reading this can relate.
So, what am I suppose to do? Be thankful that I'm saving all this money because I don't have to buy bras, or invest in a chest? I don't want anything extravagant, large B maybe. I just want more than nipples. Jorge says if I am going to get implants, then I need to really get implants...typical man. I don't think Pamela Anderson's breasts would look normal on my frame, and I don't want them banging me in the head when I run. What do you think? Is it a must to increase my bust?

I got mine 6 years ago and never regretted them. Only slight regret is that working out can be painful. 2 sports bras is not enough to keep away the bounce and 3 impedes breathing. I've never been a runner, but running hurts way too bad- as does excessive jumping. I can't even remember what it was like before my boobs. Would do it again... just also keep in mind that you will probably have to have them redone every 10-15 years... I was a B and went to a DD and got to a G with pregnancy but am back down to an DDD or E.
I understand what you mean...well, kinda. I have boobs, but they just aren't the same as pre-baby. But I sure don't want to add to them. I would love to chop them off and start all over. ;) But the limp sacks they are now aren't attractive in my book. (Granted I need to lose a good 30lbs, but I am not satisfied with or without the extra weight.) My ex-husband said on many occasions that he would pay to get them fixed...since it was his doing that messed them up (knocking me up). But, since he is my ex now, I will have to pay for it myself. :)
If you do, make sure you don't go too big. That way you can still enjoy a bit of the pros of not having any boobs...instead of the cons of them being too big.
