Bigger boobs or flatter stomach?

I'm a bit heavier than I'd like at the moment and all my weight seems to sit on my stomach and thighs. However, being quite small-boobed normally, the extra weight gives me a much better cleavage than usual.

So do I diet to lose the stomach weight but sacrifice the boobage, or keep the boobs and dress better to cover up the big fat stomach? When I lose weight my stomach & thighs look a lot better but it goes faster off my boobs (grr) so ultimately I'm the same shape just smaller all round.

I'm in the same situation. I bought some fat pants yesterday which sucks ms in nicely, and I still have boobs

I'd go for lose weight and wear padded bra but it's whatever's best for you and you sound comfortable as you are Smile

flatter stomach. Except right now as I am pregnant. Boobs are too big anyway unless I am at "flat stomach weight", i.e. under 9 stone.

I do like the bigger boobs but can you really hide the extra tummy? I've worn padded bras all my life and not thought about my stomach, but now it's all swapped. Dilemma!

Depends on how much round the tummy really. It's not a healthy place to carry weight. I think I would prefer small tummy and boobs and go for the padding. That said I have always had small boobs so have had no choice!!

Flatter stomach!

If your stomach is flat you can wear tight clothes and accentuate your bust.

Clothes that hug your bust, but hide your stomach don't work. Every woman in the room knows why your top is cut that way.

True, and everyone irl knows I have small boobs but I'd prefer not to feel fat from the waist down. Ah well goodbye breasts it's been nice knowing you!

Diet starts tomorrow!

Flat stomach all the way - a fat tum makes boobs look smaller!

I've dieted and lost my boobs with the weight, but it hasn't bothered me at all. Its easier to find bras that feel supportive and I clothes seem to hang better with smaller boobs too.
