I was expecting something else.

Sarah, it depends upon what kind of sweetener you want to use. I use Splenda in liquid form, and order it over the internet, as I've never seen it locally. The website I use is: www.sweetzfree.com.

I'm thinking of trying Stevia next time, and will probably search the local health food stores for that.

Whomever sent you the message about being offended should be embarrassed - NOT YOU! We're all adults here and your question was one of relevant anatomy and physiology and absolutely VALID!

It's true: breast tissue is a giant bag of adipose and, while each woman varies, as we lose weight "The Girls" are prime targets for elimination. The fall out has its ups and downs. Smaller breasts means less back/neck strain, easier monthly self breast exams, and most importantly cuter bras. The down side can be deflation if you had very large breasts which forced the overlying skin to stretch, drooping caused by the weight of very large breasts tearing the tiny suspensory ligaments throughout the tissue, and the cost of a Victoria's Secret shopping spree. Keep in mind, though, that if breast shape or contour causes enough emotional distress to a woman (and to some it truly does) there is no reason they can't be revitalized with surgery. Breast lifts are simple and free of foreign bodies. I strongly feel that weight loss and exercise takes formidable effort and if a woman wants to reward herself with restoring her breasts then she absolutely deserves it! We aren't talking Floozy 101 here - we're talking hard work and determination pay off. The best news for you is that you are still quite young and are more likely to have good collagen and elastin building ability. Vitamin C will help strengthen your collagen building ability as it is the go to guy for (nerd alert!) proline and lysine hydroxylation (in other words adding an oxygen and hydrogen to the 2 main amino acids involved in collagen synthesis so they can cross link and make a strong stretchy skin bridge). In addition, exercising your pectoral muscles will NATURALLY lift a woman's breasts. Hooray for free perkiness!

We women (whether someone wants to admit it or not) place a lot of emotional identity into our breasts. Just ask any breast cancer survivor who has undergone a radical mastectomy. It is one more anthropologically hard wired installment designed to ensure perpetuation of our species. Being overweight causes enough of an identity crisis as it is. Being brave enough to consider reclaiming a status symbol of femininity, motherhood and God forbid SEXUALITY on an open forum like this gets my kudos! Take pride in your candor.
