I'm pleased to say I'm back at my pre-Christmas weight too now, with the scale again showing me the lowest number I've seen yet. (167.0 I saw ya!)
As well as that, I managed to get into town yesterday to a new bra store (stocking larger bra sizes) which offers a fitting service. I've been being stabbed or at risk of being stabbed (or stabbing someone else - lol) by my current bras for months now (I thought because the boning was basically a size too big and so was getting pushed out as I move throughout the day)and the boning has to be shuffled back into place in discreet corners and moments.
Anyway - it was a mixed feeling really because I was wrong - my bras were actually two sizes too big being that I was wearing a 36XX and now need a 32XX (I'm not going to be specific, its a big letter involved) that was the good part, the bad part was that I look absolutely awful in the new size as it seems like I have a bunch of potatoes scattered around and glued to my back - something that the too large bra was avoiding.
I felt quite upset for a while - not the bright cheerful result I'd hoped for - the lady said it wouldn't show through the clothing so I asked if I can try my t-shirt over the bra to check that - it was just as bad and the T-shirt wasn't a tight one. I said I'll try another in the next size up (the 34) and I'd rather have it a bit looser and not feel as awful - she said she thinks the 32 is really the right size and its supposed to fit on the loosest setting for a new bra, not the tightest one.
So anyway I end up having to agree - I'm a 32XXX now, quite a long way from 44XXX and wondering what on earth to do when that got too small.
I also picked up a new sports bra while I'm there - I told the lady that it was super hilarious back at home because the sports bra I have is actually a 32 and I knew I could aaaaallllmost close it but sports bra material is much more resistant than a normal bra, I can make the material join at the back I just can't control it enough to close the clasps - private fun and good arm exercise but not much use for sports yet.
She told me that if you don't put your arms in then you can get more control for the clasp - she was right about that. I'll have to think up something new for my arms.
I've just realised as I write that the reason I got upset is actually not so much to do with the bra and more to do with TOM (Time of month) - I mean it is still not a good result, but there's always a day when I over-emotionalise and tear up over something that wouldn't usually affect me as strongly- reminder to self - never try on new anything near TOM.
