Now don't laugh. I'm dead serious here.

I want someone to explain to me, how, after losing 100 plus pounds, over the course of 10 or so years, I only went down 1 BRA SIZE!!!

At my heaviest, I wore a size 24 and a half dress. And 44C bra. ALWAYS. I never wore a bigger size in my life. Even at my heaviest.

I was in my 30s. I worked, and I had to buy all new clothes. I wasn't that busty, but I was a BIG WOMAN.

So fast forward to now, I have never measured myself but I figured I was about a 40 C. I went online and bought a good bra. Cost me $20. It was beautiful. I got the 40C. Fit nicely. The C cup was just fine.

Now there are 40C's and there are 42C's and I know that when you buy a good bra, that you get what you pay for. I understand this.

I have watched the Oprah Show and she once had a show that indicated that we are all walking around with the wrong size bra. I believe her.

I have the one good bra that's a 40C.

And every other bra in my drawer (and they all fit), are 42C's.

And how come some of the C's look like D's.

My bust got smaller, this I know. I am not FULL. I barely make it into a C.

But with the good bra, it fit just perfectly.

With the $3.99 bra's well, the C's look like D's.

Today, I brought a bra at the local department store. Cost me $3.99. I needed one of those fiberfill bras. They make you look like you have breasts even if you don't have breasts.

So the cups looked a big bigger than I usually get.

I take the bra home. Oh, it's a 42 C by the way.

The bra fit perfectly. The cups didn't. They were big. But it doesn't matter. I'll put a tank top and I'll look line Pamela Anderson when I wear this bra.

I said "holy cow, I have breasts". It really is a nice bra.

Tomorrow I'm going back to see if this bra comes in a 42B.

So someone please explain why some C's fit nicely, And why some C's look like cannons.

And more important. HOW THE HECK CAN I GO DOWN ONE SIZE AFTER LOSING OVER 100 LBS.

One would think I would have gone from a 44C to a 38 or a 36.

I do not get this at all.

Oh, and you'll love this. I put on one of my bras this morning, and a tank top and all I saw were, well, you know what was peeking through the tank top.
I couldn't wear it. I know that there is an item called PETALS, that solves this problems.

So I walk into the bra store near my home and I was all prepared to ask the lady behind the counter if she sold Petals.

Well, there was a GUY behind the counter. I was sputtering and he's going "may I help you, may I help you?""

I'm just looking at him, and I go. "uh, well, I have a bra and it shows through my tank top, and ugh....." and he shouts out loud "oh, you want nipple covers". I almost died!!!

I just followed him and he's throwing all these nipple covers in front of me.

I just thew down $3.00 and grabbed a packet.

Now don't all of you fall down laughing. This actually happened to me today.

I'm just waiting for Alan to see the packet on the kitchen table. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIS FACE WHEN HE SEES WHAT THESE THINGS ARE.
