SUCCESS! FINALLY!

I touched VERY slightly on this towards the end of yesterday's post, but will go a bit more in depth.

One issue that absolutely brings me to tears is bra shopping. I am a 34DDD, so shopping for bras is no easy task.

The ones that DO fit have the underwire of death and are NOTHING more than a piece of boring old cloth.

Just because I am nothing more than a walking set of breasts doesn't mean I don't want to feel sexy.

While I CAN appreciate the concept behind the underwire (breasts are heavy and need support) and the lack of sexy design (want to keep from having "uniboob"!), the truth is that all women WANT to feel good about themselves.

ALL women want to feel attractive. While some don't care if they are attractive to others, they CERTAINLY want to look in the mirror and feel they look awesome!

When you have breasts as large as mine or larger, it can be hard to feel that way. You  - rightly or wrongly - assume others only see your breasts.

So, flashback to Friday. Decide that my old bra had done its time and needed to retire.

So off to Victoria's Secret -one of my favorite places - to buy one. I try on about 6...all in the size I am measured to be. Not ONE of them fit. Granted. I DID ask for no underwire, but I was getting uniboob and that is a pet peeve.

So, I walk away in tears...ONLY leaving with their eau de parfum LOVE and a roller ball of SCANDALOUS .

So, yesterday, I headed to the mall to get some more work/play clothes and since the Victoria's Secret was a larger store, I would check it out.

Welll...

I managed to find TWO that fit!

And they are LACE! Not simply cloth!

While I will ALWAYS see my breasts as a curse, as I grow, I am VERY slowly ans tearfully accepting them.

A lot of bigger chested women often feel that clothing is made for the "normal" chested women. And to a degree, it is. But we shouldn't let it bother us.

I have a long way to go on my journey to accepting my body the way it is and work out to get it where I want it.

And I will share thus journey with all of you!
