Hi guys, don't really need to go into all the usual details here, since as you can expect going through high school with moderate gyne was not a pleasant experience. But you guys already know that. What you may not know are the profound advantages of losing weight.
A year ago, I weighed 186 pounds at 5 ft. 8. I had pretty bad gyne which could be seen through even relatively thick clothing. Due to reasons unrelated to gyne, I started to get in shape. I basically just did about 70-80 minutes of exercise daily (NO exceptions) for the last 8 months or so, and I'm now down to 157 pounds at 5 ft. 9. As you can imagine, I feel alot better having gained an inch in height and lost about 30 pounds.
Anyway, as college has rolled around (people seem less superficial in college and I haven't really made that many close friends), and I've also resorted to wearing a coat all the time (not just cause of gyne, mainly cause of laziness), I haven't actually worried about this problem so much. Its still irritated me from time to time but not nearly as much as it used to. And then several weeks ago I first really took a look at my gyne again and I see a dramatic reduction. I mean, I clearly still have gyne, but its probably half the size it was before.
Don't get me wrong- with my emotional problem that gyne has caused i'm not about to run around in a t-shirt skipping up and down, or playing jumprope naked in gym class (why would you do that, I don't know. Its just an example, ok!?). BUT...the improvement in my gyne has really added a lot more flexibility in the clothes i'm comfortable wearing.
I've clearly lost a lot of fat in the chest area...but what amazes me is that I feel there isn't as much gland as there was before either, and it doesn't feel quite as "hard" as it was before. All this could be a developmental thing too, because I have been a bit of a late boomer. But the weight loss definitely has made a tremendous difference, and to all the people who are in my situation, just keep in mind that you have a chance to improve yourself without surgery.
So I highly recommend losing weight because it can dramatically improve your gyne!
