Frustrated that I grew again
Ugh, I think I have grown again. I have been noticing it for the past couple of weeks, that my bras that fit, after growing out of my last fitting bras a few months, ago are now causing quadding. Today it was so bad that I could see the quadding through my shirt. I guess I need to measure again tomorrow, and see if the bras that were kindly gifted to me, that were at that point too big, may now fit. But I don't want to give up on the bras I have really been enjoying for the past couple of months, that have given me the best shape ever. My weight hasn't changed at all, just my boobs. It is so unwelcome. It makes me worry that it will keep happening, and I already feel so out of proportion. I am self conscious about my breasts, and put a lot of effort in to not drawing attention to them, but realistically they are quite noticeable in anything that I wear. I really try to get into the right frame of mind about this, that I don't look bad, and that some people pay good money to have these proportions, but I can't really convince myself, because my personality is such that I would never have bought this size. It feels so awkward with young children to go to the pool not trying to look "sexy" but feeling so on display, or having to try so hard to find shirts that dont show cleavage to go to the school or playground, And it is just continuing. Many cup sizes ago people would make comments about my size, which weren't mean at all, but made me self conscious, and I feel eternally aware of being bigger than everyone around me. Not to mention the fact that I feel like having such a big bust gives me the overall appearance of being "big" or overweight in general, even though I am in a healthy weight range. I called my insurance company a few months ago o ask about the process for a reduction, and they said that procedure is excluded from coverage, so I guess that isn't even an option at that point. I don't love the idea of surgery, but I do want to fell comfortable in my skin... Thanks for reading, no one I know understands when I talk about this, why I wouldn't be happy, but I assume some of you can understand my frustration.

Trust me I have sympathy. I HAVE gained weight, but seriously, I was wearing a J cup when I found this website 4 years ago, and now I"m a KK!! I'm super grateful that Ewa's FB line is here for me, but seriously. . . I look like a tank. nothing fits. at least I'm old (53!) so its not like I'm trying ot look young and cute. I'm a decent age to just give in and look matronly. but yeah, in order to do that, not only do I keep having to buy bigger bras, I need bigger shirts, too. I've outgrown all my shirts twice in 4 years, I think.
insurance. Grrrrrrr!!! Viagra but not breast reduction. Grrrr....
A friend has successfully negotiated coverage for previously excluded procedures. I wonder if you could do that, too. It seems a royal pain, but so are large breasts.
