You wait until you see what happens to already large boobs when you're breastfeeding. I'm falling out of a G cup bra, but I'm too busy to go get measured. I solve the clothes problem by being a fashion no-hoper and only ever wearing men's geek t-shirts. I chuckled at the breastfeeding part.

I'm a C-D (more towards D)... and I generally have to give up on a lot of blouses I like. As for the mutton being lamb dressed... heh, I say go for it. Going shopping and not finding anything is an incredible downer for me. I get depressed the whole rest of the day :\ Oh wow F?

But you know what? That just means you don't end up with ridiculous amounts of clothing that you buy just because they're on sale and you *might* wear them one day. Ahem. Also, it's funny that you lost weight after moving out, because for me it's the opposite. When I stay at home, I lose weight because home-cooked meals are healthier than what I eat when I'm living on my own - aka take-out and pasta. But it's great that you're slimming down as a result of a healthy lifestyle! I'm really happy for you! I wish I had a housemate who could provide free, fresh produce. I haven't gone grocery shopping in over a week and the only thing left in my apartment to eat is cereal. Me is sad.

Yikes, I thought it's annoying (and tantrum-worthy) enough that I can never buy the size that fits my body cos it squishes/doesnt fit my boobs, but i certainly dont have F cups! Actually just the other day I was last-minute shopping for a graduation dinner dress, and there were 6 dresses I'd liked but didnt stand a chance with because the only size left fit everything but my chest. I wanted to cry :( Congrats on the accidental weight loss!

Walking a lot and changing eating habbits can really make a differnce without making too many changes. I can imagine it is a hassle to go clothing shopping with todays clothing fits. They are very snug and if you're a bit 'heavy on top' it won't work as well :( I guess it doesn't matter what figure you have there is always something that can make shopping for clothes your worst nightmare!

Re. the boob problem... I hear you! I can't wear spaghetti straps, or any kind of tank top really, which has led to some angsty moments... "You're going to go out like that?!"

Although I'm kind of a tomboy, so wearing giant sweatshirts and t-shirts hasn't been a problem for me. 8D Looking for pants on the other hand...I just found out I could wear size 0 teens without them being too long (they weren't too big or anything, just....long). Not that I minded having to wear kid's clothes (since I usually manage to find some decent jeans, but I have to drive two cities over for them.
