Christina Applegate - Christina Applegate's Breast Lament

Christina Applegate wants her old breasts back.

The 'Sweetest Thing' actress - who had reconstruction surgery last year following a double mastectomy as part of her treatment for breast cancer - admits she misses her assets because she was so proud of them.

She said: "It's really hard because they just aren't the same - and I had really good ones. If you have boobs you don't like, you can go and choose the size you want, and then get a brand new present. But it's different when it's not your choice."

However, the 37-year-old beauty says there is one plus point of no longer having large breasts.

She added: "I hold on to the fact that I don't have to wear a bra, which is great!"

When she was battling the cancer and undergoing surgery, Christina says she got through it all by laughing.

She told Women's Health magazine: "I laughed more in the hospital than I ever have in my life, making fun of all the weird things that were happening to me. My friends would walk in with this sad look, and I would throw something at them and say, 'Come on! This isn't the end of the world!' "
