Dear Former Curves,
As my body has transformed in the wake of motherhood, it’s you that I find myself missing the most. Sure, I reminisce about the days when I could laugh without a worry about any unexpected leaks. Yes, I miss my favorite shoes that I had to part with when my feet decided to grow a half size. And of course, I yearn for a flat stomach that didn’t require a diet. But you, dear curves, were the one consistent feature that always made me feel confident, no matter my weight or hairstyle. And now, regrettably, that’s no longer the case.
You were the crowning jewel of my physique. A perky B+, you were just the right size. While bras were an option, you were small enough to go without them. Yet, you also provided the curves and allure that complemented my petite frame.
In the words of a famous sitcom, you were utterly real and simply spectacular.
I’ve come to realize that I took you for granted. For more than a decade, you were a steadfast companion, and I never took the time to appreciate your beauty. Maybe I didn’t express my gratitude properly, because as soon as I finished breastfeeding, you decided to take your leave.
You shrank. You flattened. You sagged. My once full, rounded B+ breasts have dwindled to what can only be described as flat A pancakes.
Don’t get me wrong, I am in awe of everything you accomplished. You nourished two little beings! That’s remarkable! And you did it all without any of the painful issues I dreaded, like mastitis or sore nipples. Bravo to you!
However, now that your primary role is over, it feels like you’ve decided I no longer need you. While I might not need you, I certainly want you! I long for you to help me feel attractive when I’m not quite feeling it. I wish for you to remind me that I’m still a woman, not just a mom.
Alas, no amount of pleading (except perhaps to a cosmetic surgeon) will bring you back. So, I must find a way to move forward. But before I do, I want to express my gratitude. Thank you for the wonderful years we shared. Thank you for your help in making my first school dance memorable. Thank you for filling out my summer dresses and tank tops sans a bra. Most importantly, thank you for nourishing my sons.
I know I am more than just my physical features. I’m still attractive (even if I do forget to shower sometimes). I’m still me. So while I may have lost my magnificent curves, at least I can rely on a few fabulous padded bras.
