I am feeling better. I took off half a day Monday and Tuesday and all day today. I shouldn't have, but I really needed some mental time. I have plenty of PTO saved up so that's not a problem. I just feel like I should be able to deal with things better than this. I don't even know why it hit me so hard this year. I was ok on other birthdays. Maybe the combo of my mom going to the hospital just pushed me over the edge.
But three days of retail therapy and I am better. Mostly, I just walked around, didn't spend much money, didn't use my credit cards at all and FINALLY found bras that fit. Thank goodness. I have been trying to find a bra for a very long time. I wound up going to The Avenue and getting my favorite ones from there. I have gone from a 42C to a 38D. Not sure how that happened, but ok. Maybe I was wearing the wrong cup size all along. All I know is I now have a pink and a nude colored bra to wear. YAY!
I did find a red one at Kohl's too. Which is really out of character for me. I have NEVER owned anything other than nude or white. So now I have a pink one and a red one too. My little head might explode.
I lost another pound yesterday so that puts me at 162. I am 16 lbs away from "normal," although my family will tell you that no matter how much I lose, normal is not something I will ever be. :)
Here is a dress I picked up at Macy's. Both pieces were on sale so they had to come home with me. I couldn't get a very flattering picture in the dressing room, but it looks much better than this on.

Wow! Congratulations on the beautiful dress! You look really great! I hope the stress level goes down in your life. No one likes a heavy stress load, but keep up the good work :-)
So glad you are feeling a little better! I know what you mean about finding a good bra. I finally found three that still feel good after hours of wear. I haven't had that in a LONG time!

Sometimes life just gets to much and some time off and some shopping works wonders. Glad things are better :)
You look great! And bravo to expanding your bra color selection. I LOVE pretty bras but I seem to always wind up with white, nude and black.
