I feel crap

I dunno if this is the right place but I'll give it a go. I've always been body conscious always. I eat healthily most of the time but never say no to crap. I can't put on weight though. People comment that I shouldn't moan all the time but really it's so depressing. I'm 5'5 and a size 8 on a "fat day". But the thing that's really getting me more than anything is my boobs. Lack of. I just braved the sales and got measured as a 30b but this is a 30b following childbirth so there's no volume AT ALL. I have a lovely bf who adores me but my own confidence is nil. I just need a hug. Sorry for the moan :(

I think I can help you. Xmas Smile

I've been a bit of a fitness freak in my time. Have you tried weights and muscle building exercises? You need to stay away from cardio and just get into serious resistance training. That will help you to gain weight in the right way, the healthy way.

Also, are you eating enough? It sounds silly, but maybe you eat less than you think you do. If you want to up your calories, get them from nuts, seeds, healthy oils like avocado, hemp, coconut. Butter and any organic dairy and organic, free range grass fed meat is also very beneficial. For carbs go for sweet potato, brown rice, beans etc. Up your calories and when you start gaining weight, stick to that.

Don't try to stuff yourself with unhealthy food, good quality fats and carbs are the key. Focus on building muscle as well as fat.

Also, forgot to mention, treats are fine, have a takeaway or whatever you fancy and some wine at the weekend! If you are building yourself up, that's absolutely fine!

If you have the spare cash, personally I'd be looking for a cosmetic surgeon and have a consultation about a boob job :).
As well as the healthy fitness boosting building muscle stuff that Freddie posted of course :o

Yep, surgery is an option. I had that to plump mine out after weightloss and childbirth. I wouldn't want to tell others that they should do the same though.

Building some muscle and gaining some fat should also help to plump them out and give them a better shape.
