I think my breasts are one of my good features. They’ve always been relatively big. My friends were jealous of them when I was growing up. I was a small person and I suddenly grew these pert boobs. I can remember people accusing me of sticking my boobs out. I didn’t mind, we had a laugh about it. I did ballet and horse riding, so as a result of that I had good posture. I remember being at a swimming party when I was 13 and a friend’s dad said, ‘Oh, where have they come from?’ Erm, that was embarrassing, but probably more so for my friend.
I remember suddenly noticing attention from older men. Not inappropriate, but attention all the same. Your breasts make you suddenly grow into a woman. I was a D cup by the time I was about 14, and I was only about five feet tall!
I was short, my bottom was too big and quite muscular. I never felt like I had a great figure. But I did feel like I had great boobs. They were very high up when I was 18 and I had to shorten bra staps. I remember wishing they were a bit more pendulous. Now they are a bit more pendulous, thanks to gravity, I wonder what I was thinking!
When I was about 23 I lived in France and the women are very slim there. A woman I was working for told me I was too heavy to ride her horses. I became very conscious of what I was eating and I developed bulimia. I got fitter, I lost weight. I lost some of the fat from my breasts and they changed a bit.
