You mentioned going to therapy. I think that will help a lot. I think it is so hard for women not to have self-esteem/image issues in this day and age. I know I still struggle with it off and on.
I grew up in Southern California close to the beach and walking along the boardwalk one day a guy commented that I had large breasts. I was 12 or 13 and I took it as being a negative thing. I'm still self conscious about the size of my breasts. I'm a 36D or DD depending on the bra. I usually won't buy a bra unless it is a D because I'm so sensitive. My current boyfriend teases me gently off and on and says he loves my nice big beautiful breasts but I still have the hang up. In my earlier days I though I might even get a breast reduction. I've moved beyond that point and I live with what I have and I don't want to have surgery. I do also wear clothes that don't accentuate my breasts so it's hard for someone to tell my size. I'm 42 so I've dealt with this hang up a long time.
I've definitely had more issues in the past but I have bigger things to worry about now and so I don't really have time or energy to spend on it. Sure I wish I weighed a little less, exercised more and had a rocking body like I used to, (I did have that in my obessive compulsive work out 7 days a week days) but I've learned to accept my life. I still don't have the greatest self-esteem and don't take compliments well, but I am working with a wonderful therapist and she's helping me conquer things.
Best wishes!
