then and now
Here is a reference for you Jane:
Then. Summer 2004. 18 years old. I wore a A- bra (yes, a negative A. Its like a training bra for middle schoolers).:
Now. 24 years old. Quite a few bra and pant sizes bigger.
I actually weighed the same then as I do now, but for sure there was more muscle and less curves. Everything over all is just bigger. And I look at that second picture and think I look fat.
We can hardly make comparisons of ourselves from 18 and 19 to 24 (almost 25). Especially coming from situations that are not everyday life. Its not fat and its not ugly. Its just a different shape.

Re: then and now
Thank you. I wish I could get Josh to realize this. Men's bodies don't make such drastic changes naturally. I mean we gotta deal with the fact that our bodies are made to nurture children so we have some extra padding that men don't.
Yes my body when I was 19 was killer. BUT I was 19.
I was a 36 B. I'm now a 38 DD.
Things change. Sure, I could tone up a bit, but this is my body and this is probably how it will most likely look. Get over it.
This is the attitude you and I need to have everyday! I have no advice on how to get your husband to realize this though. He may need some counseling too, because he has some major body dysmorphia issues that are bringing you down.
I'm a 36 B right now and I think my boobs are huge!
I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure most guys would appreciate that transformation.
mrthor loves him some DDs.
Klassy, I think the first pictures shows a girl and the 2nd a woman.
try 18 to 37.
{{{{{scary}}}}}
you look great!
And Klassy, not that you don't have a rockin' bod in the first picture, I definitely prefer the second one! Some curvage is waaaaay hotter!
LOL, I'm right there with you. I was a stick back then. I didn't get boobs until after college.
I've just always been round. My "before" picture would be at 18 (after I lost my "baby fat" and before I started gaining weight for real) when I was be 5'2.5" and 140lbs. That's considered overweight on the BMI scale and I think I look stick thin! I honestly think, even at 5'2", that my body is meant to be around 155. Everyone's different. (And of course, I am nowhere near that now.)
Klassy, I agree, you look great in both pics but the curves are definitely hotter!
To the PP, I'm in every respect like you.
When I was 18, I was stick thin with nothing to show. Now, 6 years later, I'm the exact same weight, but I've worked out, and I have more pronounced curves. I used to cry because my torso would go straight down to my legs. Now, I'm shocked to see that I have HIPS now.
It's bizarre, seeing how the body changes and accommodates with age. I never thought I'd look like this when I was younger.
(I could maybe ask for more up top, but I"m not complaining anymore lol)
