Come on now…I’m not the only woman in the world that plays sports and needs something to support my girls! And I also happen to know that I’m not the only ‘large’ chested woman in the world playing sports in desperate need of something to support those ‘girls’ of mine.

So tell me…why is it so cotton picking stinking hard to find a sports bra?

Forget Wal-Mart, they don’t even carry my size tent bra but of course wanting to take the least expensive route, I figured I’d give it a shot. What a joke! Let’s just say I am currently attempting to use one of those from Wal-Mart and it certainly isn’t doing it’s trick. Honestly I’m surprised I’m not sporting a couple black eyes from the lack of support this particular bra has (at least for me anyways…I’m sure for someone with ‘regular’ sized ‘girls’ it works just fine and dandy). And seriously what was I thinking? I mean come on now, why would I even posses the thought that an $8.00 bra would support my girls??? Yeah obviously I wasn’t thinking!

It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve started softball and it’s not pleasant having a sports bra that isn’t doing anything for me and my girls. (side note – how the heck did my boobs ever get named the girls??? I have no stinking clue where that came from. Speaking of nicknames…in highschool when I played softball my team mates nicknamed me Titsa & that was actually thanks to my mother opening her big mouth to one of my friends! Thanks mom!). When my friend Angel and I were running I would just hold my arms over my chest while we ran but hello I’m playing softball here…in front of lots of people I’m not about to use that tactic! No way no how!

Anyways…

I have found a couple that look like they might be worth giving a try. At this point, I don’t have a choice I need something better than the cheap Wal-Mart one. I found this one at Fashion Bug for $18.00 but I have to say that it doesn’t look like it will provide much more support than the Wal-Mart one. Then I found this ultrasonic sports bra at Lane Bryant but it’s $38.00 stinking dollars! It has underwire support which could be just what I need, I don’t know! I also found another one at Lane Bryant but it’s even more expensive, coming in at $48.00 and not that I’m going for the ‘looks’ of a sports bra but for $48 you would think it would be a lot cuter than what it is.

I have a feeling that I’m going to have to go with one of the more expensive ones in order to get the support that me and my ‘girls’ need. UGH! I really am not thrilled about the thought of paying that kind of money for a sports bra. I don’t mind paying $30.00 for a regular bra cause those are at least cute somewhat cute. I have an issue with forking out that kind of money for something I don’t even know if it will provide me with what I need. Wasting $8.00 on a Wal-Mart brand one wasn’t bad but it makes me sick to think of forking over more than $20 for a silly sports bra.

And people wonder why I hate being large chested…because it’s a pain in the arse! Honestly I wish I would of had a breast reduction when I had the chance several years ago! Oh well I suppose you live and learn.

Ok now I know I’ve fallen off my rocker because I’m sharing with the world my sports bra dilemma! Seriously that’s sad…but kind of funny too.

So now that I’m playing again I’m like a kid in a candy store! I’m so excited. It ended up working out that all our practices are going to be on Sundays and are games are also going to be on Sundays. So in other words on the Sundays we have games, that’s going to be like practice too. I wish we would practice a couple times during the week but oh well that’s not how it ended up working out.

I wasn’t sure how my body was going to handle tonights practice after not playing in so long. And just as I figured, I hurt like a son of a gun! I have aches in parts of my body that I didn’t realize had muscles, or better yet muscles that softball would require. I was a bit surprised to find that even my behind hurts. My throwing arm feels like jell-o and my shoulders and back are killing me. I’d give anything to be sitting in a hot tub right about now…oh no scratch that and instead I’d give anything to be laying on a massage table getting a back and shoulder massage.

It was so much fun though! And even though it’s been such a long time since the last time played, things just came back to me. One thing I do know is that I can’t play outfield. I can’t catch those pop flys out there for nothing! Put me on second base and I’m good to go. I’ve always played infield because I do stink at outfield so I hope I’ll get second base on this team. But wherever I get put, I’ll be a happy camper
