So I was complimenting my exercise instructor at the gym the other day, I told her she has the body of a twenty year old, really. She's in her early fifties. I was surprised to hear she's gained 20 pounds and her clothes don't fit and she has no idea why. And it's going straight to her hips. Well, it's that mysterious metabolism change during middle age, isn't it? She must certainly be getting enough exercise in her line of work.
Well, my story isn't finished. A lady nearby told us she's not able to do the aerobics class because she simply can't find a bra that is supportive enough. It turns out she's a size G or H cup. This was astonishing to me because I didn't think bra sizes went beyond a D cup! It's no laughing matter because she's a slim woman and this lack of proper support can cause back pain, etc. I suggested surgery as an option, as it's not uncommon, but it's a drastic measure I suppose.
Well that was my interesting news of the day! I hope it wasn't inappropriate.

I do remember a college roommate who was even shorter than me. She must have been about 5 feet tall. However, she had a huge chest. I don't remember what her bra size was, but I remember her complaining of horrible back pain. I did feel terrible for her but she drew boys like bees to honey.
I'm getting extra flab around my tummy. Annoying.
Kay, I wouldn't have known this woman was size G or H, she's tall and slim and I guess with proper support, you wouldn't notice.
I heard somewhere that the vast majority of women wear the incorrect bra size. Last month I went to a "real" bra shop to get measured. According to the salesclerk, I should be wearing something two inches smaller than my current size, but the cup size should be one letter larger.
Kathy maybe we should start a movement on behalf of most women, this sounds like an inconvenient problem!
