I bought bras at WM that cost $3.50 and could be wadded up in my hand so it was hidden. She bought huge $35 bras that had very formed cups. She hung hers over a coat hanger to dry. I complained that mine always slid off. She said, "Have you really looked at mine? they cannot slide off." Now that I am a little larger and need a bigger size, I cannot find one big enough around that has small enough cups. I bought one to fit in front and put two bra extenders, and it squashed my breasts flat. So, I am taking a $2.68 tank top with spaghetti straps to make something to cut down on the jiggle factor. I am 70, almost 71 and never needed ANY support until I turned 70. This won't give a lot of support and I don't need much, but it will not hurt me like most bras do.

Now I do still feel stuck in a rut occasionally but have to self motivate to get out of it, which can be harder but at least it is something I can take control of.

But bras!!!! Yuck, you see a pretty bra (probably modelled by a 16 year old and when the bring it out in your size you realize you could lug two water melons home in it! I am a pretty positive person but I think the menopause does hammer women sometimes with depression. I finally realized that for me it will happen when I am tired - I have to learn to make "me time" a priority, which considering I know live alone - how come I don't allow myself down time right? Keep your chin up (and those boobs).

Keep at it Rachel, but as long as you are feeling good abut your health, I know all too well the pounds can slip back on, but I won't stress out this time.

One day was so bad, I came home and laid on the floor of my walk in closet with the door shut for about a half an hour. (Yeah, I didn't blog about that, lol). I found out recently from one of my co-workers that the other two ladies had it in for me from the start, so now I know it wasn't my imagination. Good news though! One of them just gave her notice and is not coming back next year. I made it! I survived! I took a giant hit to my self confidence, but I didn't give up and now I can look forward to a better year and build myself back up again. So, don't let the turkeys get you down. And congratulations on your weight loss. That's a huge accomplishment. I know because I have been trying without any success. <br />Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-26994964346044957222017-06-16T16:03:23.658-05:002017-06-16T16:03:23.658-05:00A 2.2 pound loss this week is FANTASTIC!!!!

It happens.<br /><br />I chuckled at your comments about buying your new bras. I am also very large chested and I have found one brand of bra that fits me well and so when I can buy it on sale I will buy 2 or 4 (usually they go on sale early in the year.) I have friends who don't understand that I have to buy them online because stores around here don't carry my size. So I know exactly how you feel when you get a new bra that fits! <br /><br />I hope this weekend brings some better feelings for you!

I am following a woman of 56 on Instagram who does yoga she didn't start until 49 now she teaches etc she's fabulous and has motivated me to re-commence I used to do it for years then somehow lost the habit but now I'm back on the posture lol it makes me feel good and is the quickest way to tone up I love it. I can't blog like you I've completely lost the plot with blogging still have all my trip to write up but love Instagram more I think. Don't worry about the grey days Sam just accept that's how you feel and go with it and if you need to wallow in it do so until you find yourself coming out of it. Grey days and unhappy feelings are normal and motivate us to make changes in our life and our way of thinking so don't beat yourself up X Wendy @ The contented Cavernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997397522566070661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-29559095591059746142017-06-16T10:24:55.978-05:002017-06-16T10:24:55.978-05:00Congrats on your weightloss!

My dog loves being dragged around as long as it isn't rainy or windy (I don't like to walk then either).
