How can I lose weight on my boobs?!

I'm so fed up. It doesn't seem to matter how much weight I lose. I have been a size 18 and a size 10 within the last 5 years and whatever my weight my bra size is never less than 32FF. At my heaviest it goes up to about 36G. I would LOVE to have E cups or less. When I'm fat I look like a lump and when I'm thin I look like a top heavy cartoon pin up (not in a good way!). I am losing weight at the mo post baby and they just won't disappear. I bloody hate them. I end up buying size 10 bikini bottoms and size 16 tops, dresses with buttons and shirts don't do up round my boobs if they fit around my waist, I have permanent back ache.

I know this is a stupid thing to be upset about and there are far worse things in the world than big breasts but I'm so utterly fed up with them. Are there any miracles diets or exercises out there that will shrink them, even a bit?! The only things I can think of are a) aim for a much lower body weight overall and b) surgery. I'm scared of a because what if I get to a size 8 or less and they're still there? How low would I have to go? I'm 5ft 5 and at 10 stone I'm a size 10 bottom and waist with 32FFs. I don't want to stress my body with unnecessary weight loss for nothing. And I'm scared of b because I'm scared in general of surgery.

GAH I say to you.

I would say go for a bmi of 20 (ie lower end of normal) or body fat of 18% and if they are still massive then perhaps surgery only option.

From what you have said you have 23 BMI and if your back measurement is 32 then clearly you are quite slim - perhaps discuss with GP, esp if permanent back ache.

I did find though that my stubborn bum and thigh fat did go last (ie getting BMI 23 down to 20.5) - ie I only lost on my thighs when there wasn't really much fat left anywhere else.

I just can't imagine myself that thin is the thing-I never have been and don't think I want to be. I just want to be my size but with smaller boobs! I guess I know really I need to learn to love them or get serious about a reduction. Sad
