A Post About Boobs… And Chocolate!

I love your humour! Those 32C cups look delicious. (That sounds so odd, but hey.) We make all sorts of chocolate cups at home, bt never this combination. We’ll definitely be giving it a try. Mmmm…

I have almost always loved my chest and am happy to be small. I’m only 30A (28A for strapless), which means I went bra shopping whislt on holiday in Denmark. Why? Because anything smaller than 32A is nearly nonexistent at home. Most brands here don’t make 30 bands at all, yet alone 28. (Although, Victoria’s Secret just opened here, I’ll have to check their sizes.) Running bras work 90% of the time anyway. Haha. I love my wee breasts, and my husband does too, so that’s all that matters. Probably too much info there, sorry.

Lots of men have back pain.

One of the problems with a woman getting breast reduction for back pain is that she may continue to have back pain either way.

Haha I was so confused by the recipe title! But it all makes sense now.

I’m pretty much average size, 34B, and I’m perfectly content. There was a period in high school when I thought the bigger the better and then a period during my eating disorder were I though breasts were disgusting. I like to think that my attitude towards my chest now is similar to my attitude overall – happy, healthy and finally at ease.

omg katie, your photography is really getting stellar! or maybe it’s just that those chocolate cups would look good on a neon yellow background taken with a $5 camera ;). in any case, i want to eat that coconut butter cup right off my screen! i’ll have to make these for sure!!! love you and your crazy recipe titles. they always make me laugh :).

I am somewhere between A and B cup (maybe closer to A right now…) but I don’t mind it. Do you know what I love about small boobs? I can just “forget” my bra in the wardrobe when I don’t feel like wearing it and 😀 . Nobody has ever noticed the difference.

The 32C cups… Well, they look heavenly. I like a lot of recipes on your blog but this one goes directly to my all-time favorites. Very simple and delicious -> I must make some.

Loved this post 🙂 And those 32C cups looks SO YUMMY!

Dude, I wear a 30 DD! I know how you feel. I can NEVER find a bra! Not that I’m complaining about the actual size, I’m quite happy with them 😉 but I wish I could find a bra in my size! I only own 2 bras and one isn’t even the right size!

Katie you are hilarious! And those “32C Cups” look great! I made something like that a few months ago when you posted your pms chocolate recipe! Except I used peanut butter and cashew butter for the middle….But I think that Melissa’s idea above sounds great! I love mint and chocolate 😉

Thankfully, though, I was never really around really mean girls (or guys). I did see people get into that kind of mean stuff, but I was fine. I think I was so naive and oblivious at times, though!

Making these as we speak!

Boobs! Always a huge topic for discussion :p I’m 5’10 and wear a 32A…I used to hate having small boobs! Now I feel like they’re just one of many aspects of who I am; I am a runner, a vegan, a health nut, a caring girlfriend, a dreamer, a writer, and a student! It wouldn’t seem right for me to feel bad about something so beyond my control and so insignificant in the grand scheme of things! It would be like me being mad about having green eyes! We are all different and I think it’s so beautiful 🙂 Anywho…lol..these look so delicious and I LOVE that your recipes are healthy and indulgent at the same time! I remember a while back the great microwave debate was going on and wondered if you’d come to any definite conclusions about microwaving food? I’m considering abandoning my microwave in favor of different ways of cooking things. What do you think?

These look awesome! I want to make them asap!

One of my favourite posts from you EVER!! (which sounds quite worrying..but no, really i’m just very entertained!!)….i used to hate my boobs!! even though they were small, i always thought they were too big, but ironically, now that they have grown, i like them!! how strange.
plus…errrrrrrrrrrrrr YUM!!!!!!! (to the pbcups….not your boobies….) xxx

From my very early teens, I absolutely hated my breasts. They developed too quickly and I was a E to F cup by sixteen. They were the part of my body that I was most self-conscious about, and when I say “loathing”, it’s kind of understatement. And yes, it’s difficult to look back and remember hating a part of my own body that much, but when I think about the back, shoulder and neck pain, the awful and expensive bras, the impossibility of wearing dresses or strappy tops, the fact that I was physically unable to sleep on my stomach, and the fact that I had to hold them up in the shower (seriously, I think people who have very large breast implants need to hear the facts of having a large chest first), I’m pretty sure that – despite having a much better body image that has come from surviving an eating disorder and just being 25, which I think is often when you start to become a bit more accepting of yourself – I would sadly still feel that way were they still big. I started thinking about a breast reduction at about age 18, and I had it done, with no regrets, at age 22. It’s been the only major surgery of my life thus far, and it was a big deal, but I’m so much happier with my B cup that it’s unbelievable. I know no longer even think about my breasts, whereas before they were inevitably a crappy part of my day. I now would completely advocate plastic surgery in cases where the area of concern is having a much physical and psychological effect. If you can change something that’s making you unhappy, why wouldn’t you? 🙂

To be honest, I now have no emotional attachment to my boobs at all, as weird as that sounds! My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, and we’ve since found out that she and the majority of my family carry the BRCA2 gene, which gives you about a 85% chance of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. I’ll be tested for it eventually, and if I do have it, I’m fairly sure that I’ll be following in her footsteps and having a mastectomy. I absolutely agree with regular self-checking; you just can’t be too careful and it can happen at any age.

Wow. Lots about boobs, lol.

Your title is so clever! : )

haha LOVE the title! And the cups, too of course! 🙂

I’m going to sound vain saying this but I love my boobs. They’re not huge or anything, but I’m glad they’re not. For the most part I love them because they’re back. When I was thin, I hated them..and well, they weren’t really there. But now they’re part of my curves 🙂

hahahaha love this! I am proud of non-existent boobies. Though strength training makes me appear like i have some 🙂 Its great you are making people aware of breast cancer. My mom had breast cancer so its awesome!

I am in a 34 E cup, which while it sounds big, isn’t ridiculously ginormous, but they’re still big enough to be a contributing factor in my back problems. I like others got boobs big pretty young. I think I was about 10. I remember being teased about it until high school, though I wouldn’t say it had a horrible effect on my psyche. I always liked my boobs, and I absolutely love my boobs now, even though with a tiny waist, it can be frustrating to find shirts that fit properly. I am curvy, so the big boobs fit my body 🙂

Wonderful post and so appropriate for the month! There are many days that I dislike my 32A chest – in fact, that would be most days. They dropped from a 34C after I lost weight.

I intend to resort to surgical enhancement in the future (even though I know it is often frowned upon). I’m with Martha Lillian – I feel out of proportion. I spent 22 years dancing and developed larger legs (hello, muscle!), hips and a strong, large derriere! I feel like upping to a C-cup would balance me out.

What a clever recipe title! I haven’t yet tried concocting any raw desserts, but this may have to break that streak.

Haha funny name! But I am still going to make them.

Question: I just made some peanut butter cups but they were not very pretty. How do you get the top of them so flat?

These are amaaazingly good. Such a simple, satisfying way to get my chocolate fix. Thnx!

OMGGGGG!!!! Katie these are sooooo DELICIOUS! I saw them and knew i had to try them and they turned out amazing! they were super easy to make, thanks sooooo much for this awesome recipe!!!

So I happened to stumble across your blog by accident a few weeks ago and have been addicted ever since! And now that I am seeing all of your friend’s quotes I am officially in love! Thanks for all the yummy treats!

I made these for my dad using 90% cacao and natural almond butter to stay within his low sodium, low cholesterol and carb count diet. He loved them!

I was so jealous of my best friend in middle school because she had boobs and I didn’t. My mom took me bra shopping in 5th or 6th grade, but we got training bras. I don’t remember shopping much for bras after that (mostly because it was EMBARRASSING!!) until college. Suddenly in 9th grade, I had boobs. No joke, I think I went from flat chested to a C cup overnight. They didn’t stop growing. I bought bras, but basically just tried them on and picked what I thought fit. Then in college my mom decided that during a weekend visit, she needed to take me to VS. That was the first and last time I bought a bra in the store. I got measured and was a 38 DD! I had no idea when they got that large. I bought the only style they had, in the only colors they had (neutral), that actually went up to that size. I went back 6 months later when both the bras had a broken wire and they no longer carried the ONLY BRA in my size. I was furious. Thankfully I found out that Cacique (sold in Lane Bryant) carries larger sizes. The next time I got fitted, I had gone up a cup size. I’m currently at a 40/42 DDD… and have a hard time finding bras that fit properly. I’m afraid to get measured again because last time they told me I was a DD, but none of the DD bras fit. If I get measured again and find out that I need to move up to F, I’ll cry, literally. We need some women to do “boob research” to create bras that actually fit a variety of women because we all have different shaped breasts.

While the cup is just the difference between two measurements, you can only do cheater sizes up or down one size, if you’re lucky.

I was happily reading vegan chocolate recipes when all of a sudden I stumbled upon a discussion about boob size. I couldn’t help commenting since I saw a discussion about breast reduction. I am very short and small boned, and used to have very large breasts. I was very uncomfortable. I couldn’t run well, because there wasn’t a bra that could tame my girls. I couldn’t even clap very well. My hands had to be either weirdly up high or down low. I evenutally had a breast reduction and looked tons better, really liked having that issue off my plate. But then, along came my sweet, beautiful babies. I breast fed all of them, but not completely and it was very difficult. Your breasts serve a purpose and surgery is NOT worth it to give up the chance to give your children the best. If you are at all interested in breastfeeding your children, you should not get implants or a reduction until you are older.
