. Not sure if you are looking for work or fun dresses but I stalk Rachel Pally and Susana Monaco sales for casualish dresses that work with me when I am super bloated. They have enough structure and good material so I don't look worse. The Susana Monaco ones I can sometimes wear a blazer with for work. TMI I have a crazy sensitive tummy... Bloating is a serious problem for me
ETA I'm a dope you need work clothes, I think Susana Monaco is on zappos, a blazer has worked with most of mine for work
mrsjene This should have been included in PP from me. I tried to go shopping the other day too. No one asked if I needed help, jerks. I grabbed three different sizes got to the highest number, it still didn't fit right. I got fed up and left. I also got stuck in one of my favorite shirts the other day. I'm heavier off the pill, then I was on it. It's so frustrating. Lots of hugs for you.
I think we deserve a milkshake.
(((HUGS)))
Oh, most definitely. With Ice Cream, though. MH is having alot of issues with weight too. We have a really hard time finding clothes for him. (44ish ×29). He popped the button off his pants again yesterday. He's running out of pants and he is afraid he needs to go up a size. He weighs more than double what I weigh and is stuck in such a rut.

I had a complete meltdown in a shopping center yesterday. Backstory: I was in some of the best shape of my life last summer. Since starting meds, I've put on some weight and I feel bloated all the time. I'm having a hard time fitting into some of my clothes and I'm feeling self-conscious about it.
Fast-forward to yesterday: I was trying on some dresses in my usual size at some boutique. I was already feeling down on myself when a sales associate came to my dressing room and recommended a dress to me because it was "super forgiving." I lost it.
What a bitch! I'm sorry, that was such shitty customer service!

That's so hard.
It is. Shirts are really hard too. He's very barrelled chested from job related lifting, and of course the beer belly. He's 5'9" and a XXL, so when we find a shirt that fits across his chest most of the time it goes down to his knees. It's so stupid. Why do they assume everyone is over 6'?
mrsjene what a thoughtless comment by the salesperson! I would have lost it too! I am so sorry. I have come to the realization that most of my clothes from last summer don't fit so I started buying a few new bigger size clothes. Once I got over the sticker shock of the size it felt really nice to be in clothes that fit and were flattering. Even though I didn't want to have to buy something new it is nice to feel pretty. Hopefully you can find a store where the salespeople have some tact.

I caught up 3 units in my accounting course and I feel so much better!!
My keurig needs to be descaled a few times a year because of our water mineral deposits. I always see these articles on pinterest about keurig evil because of bacteria building up in the internal tubing, and all I can say is I have had mine fore 4 and a half years and I dont have any keurig related bacterial infections. I also have a nespresso, but I dont use it as often. I love the flavour but I just get comforted by my 12 oz cuppa each morning.

This is where I'm at. I tried shorts on from last year a couple weeks ago and they kinda fit but when I went to wear them last weekend no can dozie. I am dreading going to the store to buy stuff that fits.
So far today I have showered/dressed, made eggs for breakfast and washed/dried all the dishes from yesterday.
Currently waiting for my crew kids to show up with my bookcases and table from the show and watching more HP. My SO went out to get them gas money and came back with coffee. He's a keeper.

Well, you do have that third arm growing out of your forehead. That might be a sign it's time to descale your Keurig. lol.
Yep. Food and drinks are his thing. We have no less than 3 ways to make coffee in my house, and we do not own a an electric coffee maker.
I like Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate. I don't need anything crazy However, PepperPottsJ got me a fanceh hot chocolate pot from Williams-Sonoma for Christmas. It was awesome.
Tell me more! I have the old Mr. Coffee Coco-matic that my darling brother got me my freshman year of college. (I will never get rid of it, as I don't drink coffee andplusalso, he's developmentally slow and this gift was one that seemed very "adult" for him) I love it but it's 12 years old and maybe I should get an "adultier" looking one!?!

Yeah the actual buying part was not fun at all, but I braced myself going into it and I bought everything on sale so I didn't feel like I was spending too much money on clothes in a size I didn't like. Now that I have them and am wearing them it does feel so nice not to dread putting something on cause it probably won't fit. Good luck. Changing sizes is so hard.

Thanks I do think I will feel better about it once I have stuff that fits. I keep telling myself that I am going to lose weight but it just never happens.

I wouldn't have gone with those words. She probably had good intentions, but good job losing the sale with insensitivity.
I do think she thought she was being helpful , but I wanted to ask, "Think about what you just said and how that can be interpreted."
Big hugs to you lady, that is some BS! I think you need to go all Pretty Woman up on her ass! Stroll in there looking your most georgeous-est and let her know what a mistake she made!
Finally checked the weather- high of 61 and "abundant sunshine." I will be the judge of that. And only 61? Lamesauce.
It's only going to get to 63 here today after we had 80s all week. Definitely don't see the sun coming out for us. Looks like perfect weather for an afternoon nap.
I saw it's suppose to be 90 and rainy next weekend in Indy. I hope this wedding isn't suppose to be outside!!
