Am I a good size?

[thebritishgirl]

I'm a size 8 in clothing and a 34 B cup size...I've had my friends tell me how much they want my body but I don't see it. I'm self conscious about everything. Even during sex I leave my top on and bra, I don't know what it is. I just really don't like my upper part of my body :(

What should I do to get the confidence I need? I do go to the gym and do sit ups and everything but it doesn't seem to be working...is there any other workouts that I could try?

I think 34B is great. Every guy has different taste as well, but I'd say if it's a personal confidence thing, find a workout that's fun for you.

Any workout naturally releases endorphins, feel good drugs in your body, so finding one that works for you isn't only great for your physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. Dance, aerobics, and even light sparring can be a great workout as well as really fun. Try a a variety of things and see what you like. I'd recommend boxing and/or kickboxing if you're feeling peppy.

So what are you uncomfortable with? Your chest, or your stomach or what? 34B is pretty standard equipment on a fit girl, so you should be fine there. And sit ups are good for core strength but won't do much for your appearance. If you want to drop fat, you should do a combo of cardio and weight training.

My stomach. I've been going to the gym for a year now and the flab just won't go. I don't eat McDonalds, Burger King or anything like that..so I don't know what it is :S

Okay, then it's just body fat. You're probably not optimizing your workout to drop fat. First of all, you can't "spot reduce" fat. So doing situps doesn't drop belly fat--it just tones you're ab muscles (which is good, but not what your goal is). To reduce fat, you're best off with a combination of strength training and cardio. Lift weights (legs, chest and back) 2-3 times a week and do cardio for 30-45 min 2-3 times a week. And eat more protein and less starch and excess sugar. good luck

Thanks!

No problem! I'm working on getting back into the gym myself. Mostly focusing on cardio now just to get my energy level up. Then I'll be working on getting back into the weights. I find that lifting REALLY kicks my butt and drains me like crazy, so I have to get the cardio back first.

Sounds fine if it looks good on your body. Size 8 is a little large compared to your breast size. Inquest size 4/6 with d's but that is rare. Usually girls with boobs like mine are fat

[thebritishgirl]

Size 8 isn't large where I'm from. In the UK sizes 6/8 are the smallest.

Ok you sound like you have average body slightly small boobs (I'm pretty sure average ia c cup) sounds fine

[stubbsy]

You should be confident because you sound fine, but ask others by posting a pic maybe? it could help if only a little, good luck,x

ps keep up the weights because you will eventually gain confidence in yourself as you progress, get a pt to show your good form,x

You are a bit skinny from the sounds of it.
