It’s still January and I’m already finding myself in a “swimwear situation”. I officially begin “training” for my next half marathon next week and part of that schedule includes a day of swimming. Great. Now I get to hunt down a bathing suit, out of season, that is suitable for actually working out in the pool. I found these two options.

Unfortunately, this has soft cups and I worry about how supportive it actually is.

This is another instance when it smacks me in the face that I can’t just go buy something off the rack, and to be blatantly honest, it’s beyond frustrating sometimes. Yes, we have more options, yes there are a few stores that may have something that works, but I’m online looking through suits and you know what? I’m getting pissed off! I don’t want to pay over a hundred dollars for a plain bathing suit! I have to, but I don’t want to and I shouldn’t have to!

I want to always be straightforward in this column. Today I am honestly saying that sometimes, being a 32J sucks! It doesn’t mean I hate my body or feel less than my smaller breasted sisters. I’m simply admitting that it ain’t all rainbows and roses for me.

I think that it is very important for us to be able to share these feelings with each other. Of course, I will always post the great experiences I have and look forward to reading the input from readers. But I also feel it is equally important for us to be able to discuss our frustrations and even anger. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has these momentary lapses in blissful, big-boobed happiness. If that is you, I want to tell you your feelings are completely valid and you are more than welcome to express them.
