Actually, it's a moot point, as I have decided that competing is NOT for me. I've gone through A LOT of soul searching lately, and realized that competition is not what is in my best interest (psychologically). I am still not where I want to be, but are we ever?
As for a boob job, even when I have gotten down to 15% I still had a FULL C cup. I'd bet if I got down to 10% I would still have a small C..... Granted, a boob job would make them stick out farther, but that is nothing a good pushup bra wouldn't do.
