writes:hellomy ex has made many mitigating statements of how small my breasts are. He had his new girlfriend mock me. She told me how he laughed with her about me for having small breast. She compared herself to me and made me feel so insecured. Eversince, I've been drinking birth control just to have bigger breasts. When I went to my gyn she refused to give me pills because I already had an iud. So, I went to a drug store and purchased phytoestrogens which are naturally derived estrogen from plants. I've been taking them ever since. I see little difference with a lot of headaches and aches. I'm thinking of implants but I am afraid of not waking up after anesthesia. His criticism piled up to my previous insecurity towards my breasts. I never felt happy with them. I actually feel less than a woman. Any suggestions on how should I over come this?

Fake boobs = insecure
They aren't as soft and lovely as real boobs and ... wouldnt ya just feel wrong not being 100% human and 100% natural??
Don't listen to that ex of yours. Him and everything he says or his new bitches say and do is irrelavent to your life now without him.
Take him, his gf and their meaningless comments out of the black box in your mind and throw them all away.
Stop taking those pills.
Start leading your life :)

Mine said something similar about my breasts when we broke up, as well as hinting I wasn't good enough for him in bed, despite asking if we could keep having sex after breaking up. He probably knows it's something you're already insecure about so don't let it get to you. He was attracted to you when you were together. His new girlfriend is probably kind of jealous of having to be in your shadow and is jumping on this to pay you out and make herself feel better than you. Don't go getting fake boobs, the vast majority of guys I know either don't find them remotely attractive, or if they do, wouldn't want to be with someone who has them long term because they can show insecurity about your body and an attention seeking quality. Being comfortable with your body is far more attractive than big breasts.

reader, anonymous, writes (20 July 2009): There is nothing wrong with having small breasts! Some guys prefer women with smaller breasts too. They are attractive to us. There are even advantages to having small breasts as opposed to large ones. For instance, since the number of nerve endings are the same in small and large breasts, it is easier to turn on a girl that has smaller ones. It's much worse for a guy to have a small penis than it is for a girl to have small breasts. You'll be fine, don't think about this as a bad thing. If you asked a room full of guys if they would be interested in touching your small breasts I bet all of them would be. Don't ask that though, because it makes you look slutty.

reader, anonymous, writes (19 July 2009): I am so sorry this happened to you. I know exactly how you feel...and I mean EXACTLY. My story is the same- horrible self image, not feeling like a real woman, old b/f and his new g/f mocking me, and searching for help at the pharmacy. I am also scared to have elective surgery after a bad reaction to anesthesia during a medically necessary procedure.I thought I was the only woman on the planet that felt like this, and felt like a victim. Why me? Why do MY breasts look like this? When I realized I thinking this way, I became determined to find the knowledge and strength within myself to beat this. I first tried talking to a therapist. Ironically she had big breasts so there is no way she could have known how deeply painful it was to me. She said the usual things, like breasts are for feeding your children, shouldn't define who you are as a person or as a sexual being, all women's breasts are different shapes and sizes...blah blah blah. As I'm sure you can relate, this didn't help me at all because even though every word of it was true, the majority of our society doesn't hold the same moral views. We are constantly reminded that we are NOT equal.However, the therapist did help me realize that I was looking for men to improve my self image, the more men that wanted me, the more attractive I must be right? Wrong! I was only feeding the beast. So, before you have sex with someone, get to know them so well that you can look into their soul and are confident that they love you for who you are, and are not just looking for a pretty girl to sleep with. I found this was pretty easy to do when I used my mind, NOT my heart, although I would still want to leave my bra on during sex (which is also a great idea if it makes you more comfortable). I finally met a man that I trusted to my core, and I took the chance. He told me I was beautiful, inside and out, and loved me so deeply that he didn't care what my breasts looked like. I felt the same about him. We got married and just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. You will find a person like this for you too, please don't lose faith. Remember that confidence is MUCH more attractive than a victim...and most people can read this plain as day no matter how good you think you are at hiding it.We had a daughter 6 years ago, but once again my poor self image reared its head again...because of the shape of my breasts, she couldn't latch on and was losing weight. I never felt like less of a woman at the most primal level- after all, I couldn't even feed my own child. In order to feed my child I had to pump my breast milk with a machine and bottle feed her...but it worked!After breast feeding, my ugly breasts were even uglier :) I did some research online and found that Maidenform has contouring bras that help shape you. I love them and highly recommend them. I feel like at least I 'look' normal when going out of the house. I only wish I had found them sooner. I BEG you to try them instead of altering your body with implants or hormones.Keep your chin up, and know you are not alone...and I'm pretty sure we are not the only 2 women that feel this way. I hope my ideas help you too and I wish you the best.

 They simply knew where it would hurt the most, and they hurt you right there. See your own post:

Ignore them. Nobody is anybody's dream.

reader, anonymous, writes (19 July 2009): If you are the age you claim to be and your ex is of similar age, then this is very really shockingly immature behaviour on their parts, and to be honest, slightly so on yours too.
You should all three know by now that to concentrate so solely on such a supericial matter is a deep waste of time and energy. Leave that to the celebrities and worry more about your personality and style and the way you carry yourself and act toward other people. Stay away from duds like your ex and i can assure you that when it comes to marraige, the guy you end up with will marry you for YOU not for your breasts.
It just doesn't matter as much as you think it does sweetheart.. it just doesn't.
Guys are happy if there are boobs present they don't tend to be picky about the size anyway. Your ex and his new girl were just looking for some mean fun because they were feeling powerful in the duo.
And for goodness sake, stoo drinking birth control. There's a reason your doctor wouldn't give it to you and I promise it was for your good, not her own.
Take care of yourself.
