breasts enlarged by weight gain but not reduced by weight loss

web.med/breasts enlarged by weight gain but not reduced by weight loss:
2014.10.10:
. a postmenopausal woman became obese after using Evista,
(an estrogen agonist or antagonist for bone density)
and it was discontinued after a few years .
. the breasts had gotten larger as she became obese,
but they didn't downsize with the rest of her body
when she lost weight;
perhaps she has poor circulation in breasts
so the fat there is the last to be used?
or, perhaps taking estrogen agonists/antagonists
caused the breast tissue to grow ?

which limits social class mobility).
. why the need for a reincarnation theory?

battered wife syndrome like #schizophrenia

9.11: psy/schiz/like battered wife syndrome:
. in the battered wife syndrome,
despite trying guys with different profiles,
the victim always manages to attract a victimizer .
. I wondered if this was like schiz'ia,
where your guardian angel has a program for you,
and everybody you meet feels like
following that program;
because, we all share the same guardian angel
in order to orchestrate conspiracies
such as battered wife syndromes,
and schiz'ia hauntings .
