Losing in the wrong places...
Hey there! My doc explained to me that you will lose first in the areas where there is the most concentration of fat. Some people have more 'fat' than breast tissue, therefore they think they are 'losing' their breasts; really, they aren't...their breasts weren't that big to begin with, it was more 'fat' than breast tissue. I myself had a LOT of fat under my neck (could never see my clavicle!) The weight started dropping there and at the top part of my chest, it was just really fluffy there before. People actually started saying my breasts were BIGGER - they weren't I was just getting smaller.
Breasts are a funny thing. For example, I'm sure you have seen some people that are about 300+, but look like they wear a B-cup..thats because they don't have a lot of fat concentrated in their breast area. On the other hand, you will see people 300+ who are 44FFF's..but after surgery, they drop down to a C...this is really their true size. Lastly, you see people who are 44FFFs who after surgery don't seem to lose much of anything and actually have to have a REDUCTION to get rid of it...thats because they have a very high amount of breast tissue, which is usually hereditary and causes women to be very top heavy.
Also, can you imagine being the size you WANT to be, with the bra size you WERE a few weeks ago? Trust me, nobody wants to walk around lookin like Sherri Shepard, lol. There is a such thing as NOT proportioned properly. Don't sweat about it...I lost mine, but they actually went back up a size (because of the weight loss in my shoulders, back, i had to go back up a cup size). Eventually, everything will level out. I really hope this helps and enjoy your journey!!
