00:01:09[ Intel bong ] [girl crying] I'M SO OVER IT.
00:03:21I was open-minded about being with jeff and kelsie, but it's definitely not for me.
00:03:24I'm not willing to share him with anybody else.
00:03:27I am actually picking jeff upfrom kelsie's house.
00:03:32Today, jeff and I are goingto a festival in seattle.
00:03:37It's just gonna be the two of us.
00:03:46Everything mattered before I met you.
00:03:48Now nothing matters.
00:03:50Ouch. what a pain.
00:03:52[chuckling] I thought you loved me.
00:03:55You've always been in love with me, and you will always be in love with me.
00:03:58And you're gonna realize some day HOW MUCH YOU [bleep]ED UP.
00:04:00I mean, you love me and got another girl pregnant!
00:04:03Ultimate betrayal!
00:04:06I love you.
00:04:07[bleep] YOU.
00:04:07Why you got to be all defensive all the time?
00:04:10Because I love you, BUT I'M VERY [bleep]ING PISSED OFF AT YOU.
00:04:13Maybe if we broke up, you would be with me?
00:04:16If she doesn't have a kid, yeah!
00:04:19But I would want to take it slow.
00:04:20I would want it to be different than last time.
00:04:24No!
00:04:25No? really?
00:04:27I DO LOVE YOU, BUT, YOU KNOW, I GOTTA [bleep]-- You don't want to hold my hand?
00:04:31Just be friends and hold hands.
00:04:33Okay?
00:04:55I want to dance!
00:05:04Hey, come back.
00:05:07..
00:05:10Come back to what?
00:05:10Come back to you and your pregnant girlfriend?
00:05:14No, just-- you know-- what do you want me to come back to?
00:05:18..your happiness.
00:05:20The happiness I used to give you.
00:05:23That happiness doesn't exist anymore.
00:05:25No? no.
00:05:27I'm not gonna be with you when you're with her.
00:05:30I mean, I love you.
00:05:31I wanted you back. that is the truth.
00:05:33I did. I did.
00:05:35You didn't!
00:05:36Otherwise we would be together!
00:05:38All I can say when it boils down to everything is I love you.
00:05:42And I love you too, but that doesn't matter anymore.
00:05:45[cell phone ringing] I hate you right now!
00:05:51It's supposed to be just jeff and I hanging out, then he got a call from kelsie.
00:05:57What's up?
00:05:58We're meeting at the grassy hill?
00:06:00Okay. all right, babe.
00:06:01I love you. I'll be right there.
00:06:02She's here. I want to chill with her.
00:06:05Why can't you get along with us?
00:06:06Dude, when do I never get along with you guys?
00:06:14Oh, there you are.
00:06:15What's up?not much.
00:06:17(Felecia) TWO MINUTES BEFORE THAT, He was holding my hand and kissing me.
00:06:21And then, as soon as she got there, it was like it never happened.
00:06:26Whatever.
00:06:27How do you feel?
00:06:28I feel like kelsie completely disregarded my feelings, and now she's pregnant having your kid.
00:06:33How would anybody feel in that situation?
00:06:36Not good.
00:06:37I totally understand why you feel that way completely.
00:06:40And you're still telling me that you love me.
00:06:41I tell her I still have feelings for you.
00:06:44I thought all of us could be together.
00:06:46Yeah, it is a love triangle, but we're not, like, all trilingually together.
00:06:51You keep saying to me you love me, you want to be with me, but you can't be with me and kelsie.
00:06:56What's wrong with kelsie?
00:06:58!
00:06:58There's nothing wrong with her!
00:06:59Why is this not, like, happening?
00:07:02I don't know.
00:07:06No!
00:07:11I tried to convey how I feel, but, like, it's hard when they're standing there right in front of me holding hands and telling me, like, I'm in the wrong to feel how I feel.
00:07:22I just don't want to deal with it anymore.
00:07:25I'm so over it.
00:07:26I'm not over it obviously, BUT I'M OVER, LIKE, [bleep] TRYING TO DEAL With it.
00:07:38Hell yeah. I'm cool.
00:07:40After the mall, I called jordan and apologized for focusing my attention on alyssa instead of her.
00:07:46That's jordan outside right now.
00:07:49I asked her to take her out to dinner.
00:07:52She had to think about it, but then she turned around and said it was okay to go.
00:07:57Hi.
00:07:58Hey, what's good?you doing good?
00:08:03Don't take me anywhere you took alyssa.
00:08:06Why you say that?
00:08:11 it was my homeboy from l.a.
00:08:15All right.
00:08:17It's looking plump just like your lips, girl.
00:08:23Don't you-- oh, it's like that?
00:08:24So, it's because of alyssa, right?
00:08:26 I mean, why, like-- you really, really do not want to move on more physically with me just because of alyssa?
00:08:34Yeah.
00:08:35Me and alyssa are not even physical, so why would you even want to hold back?
00:08:39Physical, emotional, it's the same thing.
00:08:42Who's that?
00:08:43It's a blank number I don't answer blank calls.
00:08:47'Cause you know-- what's up?
00:08:50If you still continue to have feelings for her that it's gonna end us.
00:08:55Why would you say that?
00:08:57You think I'm gonna sit here while you are still stuck on her forever?
00:09:01I'm with you. I'm with you right here.
00:09:04Like honestly, look.
00:09:05I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna front.
00:09:06..
00:09:13Woo! it's cold out here.
00:09:18I had a good time with you, though.
00:09:23[cell phone rings] Man, these people are-- mmm. that's so good.
00:09:47It was too good.
00:09:52(Lazar) JORDAN'S EASY.
00:09:53I dropped a little charm on her and won her back.
00:09:56Alyssa? oh, I got to call her.
00:10:02[Alyssa on phone] Hello?
00:10:03All right, what's good? hey.
00:10:05You're still down for tonight, right?
00:10:07Probably hang out and shoot some pool and something like that, you know?
00:10:11Okay.
00:10:11Alyssa just got off of work right now and she's gonna meet me at the pool place.
00:10:16Hey.what's good?
00:10:18Nothing.
00:10:23What happened when you guys left the mall?
00:10:25She was like hot. like hot.
00:10:28Mad as hell at me, like, for real.
00:10:30She was mad at me and you.
00:10:32But I didn't do anything.
00:10:33I know that.
00:10:34I told her you was just shopping.
00:10:35I told her I was just saying hi to you, so she was just pissed, man.
00:10:39So, what's up?
00:10:39You get a little jealous or what?
00:10:41Jealous? from what?
00:10:42Why would I be jealous? why would I be jealous?
00:10:46Because, look, you have never seen me with any other girl out in public like that ever.
00:10:52Plenty of people will see me and you in public, and they'll think we're just the cutest couple in the world.
00:10:55 I'm like that was long ago.
00:10:58You can still have a boyfriend, but you can still have feelings for me.
00:11:01No, I'm okay. let's get along.
00:11:03For real, let's get along.
00:11:05(Shay) OH, MY GOSH.
00:11:07Stop! go shoot!
00:11:09Ugh!
00:11:11(Lazar) HELL, YEAH, ALYSSA STILL HAS FEELINGS For me.
00:11:14I know she does.
00:11:15I like to hang out with jordan, but I'm gonna do everything within in my power to keep alyssa around.
00:11:20Bye.
00:11:23Mmm!
00:11:24Okay. your long hugs.
00:11:26Uh, I'ma holler at you, all right?
00:11:27Okay, bye. drive safe.
00:11:28Be safe, all right?
00:11:30You know how you're acting right now?
00:11:31I hate to be mad, but you acting LIKE A REAL [bleep] RIGHT NOW.
00:15:02[girl crying] I'M SO OVER IT.
00:15:03You know howto get there, right?
00:15:05(Lazar)TODAY, ME AND JORDAN ARE GONNA HANG Out.
00:15:08Jordan fills that void when I'm not around with alyssa.
00:15:17Take it. take it, girl.
00:15:22I--i have a long tongue. right there.
00:15:25That's a disgusting sight.
00:15:27My tongue was next to your tongue the other night.
00:15:30Remember that?
00:15:31When you gave me my second kiss finally?
00:15:33Alyssa's too, huh?
00:15:34What are you talking about?
00:15:35Why do you bring up alyssa?
00:15:36You're the only girl I've kissed pretty much just after her.
00:15:40Oh, "pretty much"? ha ha, pretty much.
00:15:42Maybe if you do get more physical, maybe intimate, then I can get my mind off alyssa.
00:15:47Only because, look-- well, you know-- because after you kissed me that night, I honestly was not thinking about alyssa.
00:15:52I was really happy.
00:15:53I was really happy. real happy.
00:15:55Well, just think, you could be thinking like that all the time, if you just let go of her.
00:16:01I feel you need to make your choice, right here, right now.
00:16:06You can either be with me or be with her.
00:16:10Please do not do this to me rht now.
00:16:12Please. just please do not.
00:16:13I mean, when are you gonna make the decision?
00:16:14 just give me some time!
00:16:16Respect that and give me some time!
00:16:17Please that's all I'm asking for.
00:16:18What do you need, like, five years?
00:16:20I'm telling you, I'm leaving.
00:16:26You know how you're acting right now?
00:16:27I hate to be mad, but you're acting LIKE A REAL [bleep] RIGHT NOW.
00:16:30You're acting like-- I'm serious.
00:16:32I'm sorry, but you are.
00:16:33Please, why you putting a wall in front of me?
00:16:35You're putting a wall up right now.
00:16:40Are you serious?
00:16:41Jordan. jordan, man!
00:16:43You serious? stop.
00:16:44Stop, man.
00:16:45You are making it worse for yourself.
00:16:46Come on, where are you-- jordan!
00:16:49Are you for real? are you for real?
00:16:54Okay. all right, man.
00:16:56[bleep], MAN. AAH!
00:17:05After jordan broke up with me, I went to go and talk to my family.
00:17:09They give me the best advice.
00:17:13Uh, jordan.
00:17:16I mean, what did she say?
00:17:19She was just like you either have to choose me or choose alyssa.
00:17:23She just took off and left.
00:17:24Like literally took off and left.
00:17:26I mean, I kind of told her-- I SAID SHE WAS KIND OF ACTING LIKE A [bleep].
00:17:30Ooh.
00:17:31I'm been trying to call her over and over and over and over and over again and she hasn't answered my calls.
00:17:35And I'm like, she's the only other girl after alyssa that I can actually go through and try to start something with.
00:17:41Don't you think I'm doing good by keeping it real with jordan at least?
00:17:43Should have told her what she want to hear " and lie?
00:17:48I don't think you'd like jordan to tell you in detail feelings she may have for someone else.
00:17:52That's hard to take.
00:17:53So, what's gonna happen if I choose jordan, right, and everything's all good, everything's all lovey-dovey, but then alyssa comes around like, "you know what?
00:17:58 I broke up with my boyfriend.
00:18:01"You know, I really made a mistake.
00:18:03" alyssa has a boyfriend, yeah.
00:18:06Well, that should been easy then.
00:18:07I mean, if she got a boyfriend, then, you know-- (Gail) YEAH, YOU NEED TO FORGET HER.
00:18:11Nah, man.
00:18:11You can still have feelings for her, but-- uh, that's rough.
00:18:15She's going on, and I think maybe you should go on too.
00:18:20I don't know, man. it's hard.
00:18:23I appreciate it.
00:18:25All right, man. good luck.
00:18:27All right.
00:18:28My mom said I should definitely give up on alyssa, but my heart is towards alyssa and jordan.
00:18:34Honestly, I still need more time.
00:18:36I got to follow my heart in both directions.
00:18:44The festival was a disaster.
00:18:45Kelsie showed up and I became the third wheel.
00:18:47What's been going on?
00:18:49I went to hempfestwith jeff, and it was good at first, we were hanging out and, like, dancing around and stuff, we made out, and then kelsie showed up and I was just kind of like cut off.
00:19:03Move on!
00:19:04Jeff sucks.
00:19:06HE IS A PIECE OF [bleep].
00:19:07He's no good, nothing but a loser, and that's all he's ever gonna be.
00:19:12You've made him your whole everything.
00:19:16He was.
00:19:18But you can't forget about felecia.
00:19:21It hurts me to see that man hurt you.
00:19:23I hate him, and that's a strong word, but what he did to you?
00:19:29Never in my life will I forgive him.
00:19:36You could have such an awesome person that will treat you like the queen that you should be treated.
00:19:43Mom.
00:19:44Ohh. I love you.
00:19:46I love you too.
00:19:50[sniffling and chuckling] Push you downthe stairs.
00:20:00You would.
00:20:00Today, I need to talk to jeff because I have some things to get off my chest.
00:20:05So, are you and kelsie getting married?
00:20:08Me and kelsie getting married?
00:20:10Mm-hmm.
00:20:11No.
00:20:11Well, I'm gonna get married some day.
00:20:15I'm not your girlfriend anymore.
00:20:17That's your fault.
00:20:18Why don't you try to change that?
00:20:22I had really high hopes that we were gonna get back together, but all you wanted was for me to get with you and kelsie, and that's not getting back together with you.
00:20:31Dude, am I not nice to you?
00:20:32Do I not do great things for you?
00:20:34It doesn't matter.
00:20:35If I was still pregnant right now, you would have two babies on the way, from two different girls!
00:20:40I didn't have my kid.
00:20:42That was supposed to be a mutual agreement.
00:20:44That was your choice and this is your choice now too.
00:20:47You're right.
00:20:48IT'S ALL [bleep] MY CHOICE.
00:20:51I don't want a girlfriend and a boyfriend.
00:20:54I want somebody to give me the love I deserve.
00:20:58Why can't I do that?
00:20:59Because you're giving it to somebody else.
00:21:02And because it's, like-- that's, like, the most painful feeling in the world, to just, like, not be able to be with the person that you love.
00:21:12I messed up. and I realize that.
00:21:15I [bleep]ED UP, AND I CHANGED.
00:21:17AND I [bleep]ED UP AND I'M CHANGING.
00:21:19And it doesn't matter because you're having a kid with somebody else.
00:21:23It's, like, I love you, man, you know?
00:21:26I love you too.
00:21:28But it will never be what it was.
00:21:39(Felecia) IT WAS HARD TO SAY THESE THINGS Because he made it real.
00:21:43It's over.
00:21:47So this is ol' boy right here, okay.
00:21:49Yeah, sean.
00:21:51How are you enjoying alyssa?
00:25:58[girl crying] I'M SO OVER IT.
00:26:03My parents want me to cut tieswith alyssa and be with jordan.
00:26:06But before I do that, I'ma try my best one last time to get back with alyssa.
00:26:17Today's alyssa's birthday.
00:26:18I'ma surprise her with some flowers, some candy, show her that I still care for her and i still love her.
00:26:28I was looking forsome good flowers for a girl's birthday.
00:26:31You said it's for your girlfriend, or-- she's my ex, so I'm trying to, you know, win her back.
00:26:35Well, obviously you can do roses.
00:26:39What's the price?
00:26:40A dozen is $75.
00:26:42$75? Damn!
00:26:43You wanna win her back, remember?
00:26:47Well, that's true, that's true.
00:26:50If--if that works.
00:26:52Two, four-- there you go.
00:26:54Okay. great.
00:26:56..
00:26:59Alyssa has no idea that I'm coming over.
00:27:06What's up, alyssa?
00:27:08Now look.
00:27:09I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
00:27:11Sean's here right now.
00:27:13WORD. [chuckles uneasily] DO YOU SEE THIS?
00:27:15Wow.
00:27:17Are you serious right now? I'm dead serious.
00:27:22What's up with it, man?
00:27:24What's popping?
00:27:26So this is ol' boy right here, okay.
00:27:27Yeah, sean.
00:27:29How are you enjoying alyssa?
00:27:32She aat girlfriend?
00:27:33Yeah. word.
00:27:34Lazar, why-- okay, never mind.
00:27:36Why what?
00:27:37Why would you bring that right now?
00:27:39I came to give you your birthday present and ask you if you will be back with me.
00:27:43And that's real.
00:27:46Are you serious?
00:27:47It's like you shut everything down that we had in the past for real.
00:27:50People break up and move on.
00:27:52And I happen to be one of those kind of people.
00:27:54You didn't.
00:27:55I'm in love with him. for real?
00:27:57Yes. you're serious?
00:27:59Yes.
00:28:01I think honestly, you got with him to fill the void of what we had.
00:28:04Alyssa, I know you so well that I know when you friend-- I know when you're trying to play the role for somebody else.
00:28:09You can't sit here and tell me you know me, you know me.
00:28:12Lazar, people change, people mature.
00:28:14People don't change.
00:28:16Obviously, you haven't changed.
00:28:18 so you don't know me.
00:28:22At all.
00:28:28You came over for my birthday "supposedly"-- I'm not-- and you're going crazy in my house.
00:28:33I'm not even gonna talk about it no more.
00:28:36Lazar!
00:28:37Happy birthday.
00:28:44I really still thought there'd be a chance.
00:28:46I put so much effort, time, and money in trying to get alyssa back.
00:28:52But she chose sean over me.
00:28:57Now that alyssa's completely out of the picture, I'ma do my best to get jordan back.
00:29:02[dialing phone] [Jordan on phone] Hey, you missed jordan, I'll get back to you.
00:29:06Jordan is not talking to me right now.
00:29:10[sighs] [Jordan on phone] Hello?
00:29:14Jordan, jordan, please tell me.
00:29:15Are you willing to talk to me right now or not?
00:29:19[Jordan hangs up phone] At this point, I don't have alyssa or jordan.
00:29:23I'm just stuck with nobody.
00:29:30'Sup, 'sup, 'sup?

00:29:41You guys are gonna be therefor me, right, yeah?
00:29:45Yeah.no felicia.
00:29:47There's still always gonna be feelings between me and felicia.
00:29:49But you have to think about your little kid, though, dude.
00:29:52Like, what is it gonna take if you guys keep this going?
00:29:56But what's wrong with that?
00:29:57If he had three parents that loved them instead of just two or one?
00:30:01Well, you're gonna see it's not about you or your relationship.
00:30:04It's gonna be about the child.
00:30:06My love triangle, it didn't work out because felicia's not ready for something like that.
00:30:10It's way beyond her.
00:30:12I'll see you guys. all right, man.
00:30:14[sighs] I would personally love both girls just to love me.
00:30:18And it just upsets me that we can't work out.
00:30:27I'm packing up the apartmentjeff and I used to share.
00:30:31[groans] And I found some stuff that was his.
00:30:36Shirt, and a hat.
00:30:37Stuffed animals that he doesn't even want.
00:30:41I have a whole bunch of pictures.
00:30:45Oh, ha ha. this is a good one.
00:30:48It's just a picture of him sleeping.
00:30:50It was my favorite picture of jeff and i stabbed it.
00:30:56I'm driving over to jeff's and I'm going to give him the stuff that was his.
00:30:59That is definitely a cleansing process.
00:31:09'Sup?
00:31:11What's that box?
00:31:12It's your stuff.
00:31:14My stuff? some of your stuff.
00:31:16Sweet. I wanna look at them.
00:31:21Oh!
00:31:22Not that one. I look hot in that picture.
00:31:26Sick.
00:31:29Did I take that picture or did you?
00:31:32I did.
00:31:33Sick.
00:31:34Yeah, dude. awesome, thank you.
00:31:36(Felicia) HE TOOK THE BOX AND WALKED AWAY.
00:31:40He didn't seem like he cared at all.
00:31:42He just proved my point.
00:31:44The relationship should be over.

00:36:42Now that alyssa'scompletely out of the picture, my only choice isto try to get jordan back.
00:36:48It's been three weeks since I've seen her.
00:36:51I have no idea what she's thinking.
00:36:54[Jordan on phone] Hey, you missed jordan.
00:36:55Leave me your name and number and I'll get back to you soon.
00:36:57Without jordan within my life, it feels empty.
00:37:05Tonight, I am going over to jordan's house.
00:37:08I just started talking to her, I started really expressing my emotions.
00:37:12I apologized, I don't want to lose her.
00:37:15And the good thing is, she accepted.
00:37:18It's been about a month since alyssa's been out of my life.
00:37:21I feel sad, but at the same time, I just really trying to, you know, block it out.
00:37:29Hi. hello.
00:37:31Nice to meet you. nice to meet you too.
00:37:33How are you doing?
00:37:34How are you doing? come on in.
00:37:37What's up?buster. I'm good.
00:37:41Do you like catfish?
00:37:43Uh, of course.
00:37:45I even made you a cake.
00:37:47You even made me a cake? stop lying!
00:37:49[laughs] Man, I'm about to move in here or something like that, real talk.
00:37:54[laughter] ..
00:37:57So what's up with alyssa?
00:37:58Is she still around or is she still in your life, or-- no, alyssa's-- she out of my life.
00:38:03She's gone.
00:38:04That's right, that's why I'm here with jordan.
00:38:07I'm focusing all my time and my effort on her to show her that I really care for her, opposed to alyssa.
00:38:13So you told herto take a hike.
00:38:16Oh, man-- ah, so is that why?
00:38:20I realize that I have a lot, a lot of deep feelings for jordan, I mean, a lot.
00:38:24You know, I might has well just pursue it.
00:38:26So that's why I picked jordan over alyssa.
00:38:28I'll be good to her.
00:38:30She's beautiful, yeah. she's beautiful.
00:38:33I think you guys make a really cute couple.
00:38:36We hope to see more of you, huh, jordan?
00:38:40Yes, we do.
00:38:41You will. you will.
00:38:43Come on, give me a hug. see ya.
00:38:47[sighs] THANK YOU FOR BEING OVER.

00:39:05(Lazar) I THINK THAT WENT GOOD. REAL GOOD.
00:39:09[trilling] And I hope to continue to build on my relationship with jordan.
00:39:15I like being in a love triangle because it gives me my options.
00:39:18But regardless of everything that went on, I think I gotta put my full attention to one girl.
00:39:40Right now, I'm gonna go on a date with a guy I met online.
00:39:43I'm sort of nervous.
00:39:45 it's time to move on.

00:40:21Oh, so he was missing out, then.

00:45:58- I don't know why you surprised.
00:45:59That happens every time.
00:46:06- I don't lik t negative attention because it always reminds me of what happened to me.
00:46:13I started developing boobs when I was 12.
00:46:16My first bra was a 34c, and I would always outgrow a bra, like,very thremonths.
00:46:21But instead of that being a happy time where I was turning into a woman, it became a really horrible time.
00:46:27Somebody that I really trusted was touching me inappropriately, and ever since then, like, my self-esteem's been--sorry.
00:46:48So what was the first thing you noticed about me when you met me?
00:46:52- Mm, I'm not even gonna lie.
00:46:55Your breasts were pretty big.
00:46:58[both laugh] - Let me show you my bras.
00:47:01- Dang!
00:47:02What size is it, even?
00:47:0436Ff.
00:47:06- My breast size has been a major issue in all of my relationships.

00:47:15I'll walk you to the door.
00:47:17I've been dating jonathan for months now, and I worry that he'll be frustrated with me not wanting to do anything.
00:47:23- Mm-hmm. - bye.
00:47:25I'll see you.
00:47:26- You see how far back we are 'cause of them?
00:47:28- [sighs] SHUT UP. - DANG.
00:47:37- I got a text from jonathan saying that he couldn't make our little pre-valentine's day date, and I'm kind of disappointed because, like, I was really looking forward to it.
00:47:46Things have gotten weird with us in the past few weeks.
00:47:49He's, like, really shady, and I feel like he's just blowing me off.
00:47:53The fact that jonathan keeps flaking on me and stuff just kind of makes me insecure, and it kind of goes back to how I feel about my boobs.
00:48:01[sniffs] I hate feeling, like, really lonely.
00:48:18- If anything's popping out, kelly is my go-to girl.
00:48:22- Her boobs look amazing tonight.
00:48:24- Lift and separate.
00:48:31- Lord, we thank youfor this day and for this foodthat's been prepared.
00:48:34- My name is shannon, and I have insanely large boobs.
00:48:40What--why are you laughing?
00:48:42Why?
00:48:42Is there something on me?
00:48:45He starts laughing, and we both check our boobs.
00:48:50Like, "oh, great, what's on"-- - "what did I spill on me now?" yeah.
00:48:53- All the girls in this family have big boobs.
00:48:57- I don't even notice it,'cause it's in the no-see zone.
00:49:00- They like having big boobs because it makes them feel womanly.
00:49:04I really do hate having big boobs.
00:49:08Growing up, I was such a tomboy, but then boobs came in fourth grade.
00:49:14By eighth grade, I was a "dd".
00:49:16It was really hard for me to do physical activities because my boobs were dancing all over the place.
00:49:26I started gaining weight when I quit sports.
00:49:29Not being active, I've probably gone up two cup sizes in the past couple years.
00:49:35Tonight I'm going to the starlight lounge to see my friend perform.
00:49:41And our friend jonathan is also performing.
00:49:46I have a little bit of a crush on jonathan.
00:49:48I wouldn't make a move on him because I do not have the guts to do that.
00:49:56It seems like a silly thing, but my boobs have stopped me from having any kind of dating life.

00:50:25- Of course.
00:50:27Will that ever happen? no.

00:50:41I had the other one for, like, a year and a half.
00:50:43It's really big, so you just, like, go over once, you know?
00:50:47I think for me to find a guy, I need to be confident, and in order for me to be confident, I think I need my boobs to be smaller.
00:50:55So that's why I'm considering breast reduction surgery.
00:50:59It was good to see you again.
00:51:00- Yeah.
00:51:01- See you.
00:51:04Bye, jonathan.
00:51:08Hey, mom.
00:51:08My mom's probably the only person that doesn't want me to get a reduction.
00:51:14- I just don't believe in unnecessary surgery.
00:51:18I mean, it's not a quick fix.
00:51:20It's not an easy fix.
00:51:21I think that if, you know, if you exercise, they'll be less of a nuisance then.
00:51:26- Doing it the healthy, natural way isn't easy either, you know?
00:51:31There's no easy way.
00:51:32It's gonna be hard.
00:51:32You've been married for 30 years with a man that's totally okay with you having big boobs.
00:51:38I'm still out there looking for somebody.
00:51:42I feel like nowadays, at least the boys that I'd be interested in, it's--it's a turn-off.
00:51:48- I do know how you feel dealing with big boobs, but, you know, try the natural route first.
00:51:54We'll see how things go.
00:51:57Okay? - agreed.
00:51:58I just don't think it's gonna work.
00:52:06- Well, it's kind of a shock to me that you want a reduction.
00:52:10- They're just getting lower by the year.
00:52:13I'm 24 years old.
00:52:14This is not getting better.
00:52:15They're just getting lower.
00:52:21- My name is rebecca, and I live in new york.
00:52:26- Hey.
00:52:27- How are you? - good.
00:52:28- I run a fashion website with my husband, daniel.
00:52:32What time will the models be here?
00:52:34- The call is for 4:00.
00:52:37- But having large breasts and working in fashion just don't mix.
00:52:41Come on in. - come on in.
00:52:43- I am surrounded by models.
00:52:45That's beautiful.
00:52:47They have the perfect bodies and the perfect breasts.
00:52:50It all seems to fit with them.
00:52:52- Thank you so much for coming. - no problem.
00:52:54- I'm sure there's someone out there who's jealous of my big boobs; that doesn't change how I feel about myself.
00:53:00When I turned 16, my breasts started bothering me.
00:53:04I just randomly started gaining weight, and they got much bigger.
00:53:09So I went on a diet.
00:53:12By age 21, I was actually really thin, but I still had these large breasts.
00:53:18They've kind of grown out of proportion and have a mind of their own.
00:53:22To me, they're, like, this crazy virus.
00:53:24They're really making me miserable.
00:53:27THIS GUY BETTER BE A [bleep] MIRACLE WORKER.
00:53:29Today we have an appointment with a plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reduction.
00:53:37- I'm just worried about whether or not it's gonna change the way you feel about yourself afterwards.
00:53:42- That's obviously a concern.
00:53:44Daniel and I have been married for six months, and if I'm gonna keep the self-loathing, I believe that eventually it will hurt my marriage.
00:53:52- You're rebecca? - hi, I'm rebecca.
00:53:54- Hi, nice to meet you.i'm dr. david rapaport.
00:53:56So let's have you step into the first treatment room.
00:53:59Get undressed from the waist up, and I'll be right in.
00:54:02- Okay.
00:54:10- Let's look at your breasts first.
00:54:15So why don't you put on your gown, and we'll talk.
00:54:17Okay, a reduction and a lift, in your case, go together.
00:54:21You said small "c". that's reasonable.
00:54:23I might encourage you to say small to medium "c" because, you know, your frame is a good size.
00:54:28- Can I get dressed and then come talk to you about prices?
00:54:31- Yes, you can.
00:54:34- Knock, knock. - hi.
00:54:35- Shoot at me. what are we looking at?
00:54:37- Oh, numbers?
00:54:38The fee for your operation would be $13,000.
00:54:41The anesthesia fee I anticipate would be $2,000.
00:54:46- [sighs] - Bye-bye. - bye.
00:54:49[sighs] It's, like, so much to process.
00:54:56- Yeah.
00:55:02The surgery being $15,000, like-- the price is really high for us right now.
00:55:07Do you feel the surgery's your best option?
00:55:13- I don't know.
00:55:16I feel guilty.
00:55:17- You shouldn't feel guilty.
00:55:19- Of course I feel guilty.
00:55:21- I mean, if it makes you happy-- - yeah, but if it makes, like, one part of our life happier and makes everything else miserable, then what?
00:55:30What if that, like, really harms our relationship?
00:55:35I don't want to lose my husband because of my issues towards myself.
00:55:40But I don't think I'd ever be able to love myself with, you know, the big burden of having these breasts kind of attached to me.
00:55:48- Is this gonna be enough?
