That’s right, it’s a post about my bra or better yet, my NEW bra. When I started my journey to thin last November I was wearing a size 42DD and I could fasten it on the last possible hook. I’ve lost more than 50 pounds but I’m still wearing the 42DD bras. I had a ton of them and I wasn’t going to throw them out. Ladies, we all know that industrial strength bras cost a fortune and I had 15 of them. You need good ones to wear to the doctor or when you go out because you might get sex when you get home or when you go to try on clothes, so you need some that you don’t wear every day.

I went to my doctor yesterday to have a mole removed and discuss some other health issues like my gall bladder operation or as we like to call it the operation that never happens. She gave me a prescription for pain killers in case I get another attack. I took it to the pharmacy but they were really busy so I decided to have a wander around town for 30 minutes while the pharmacist did her thing.

While strolling I passed a lingerie store that was closed and thought, ‘That’s what I need, a new bra.”

For any of you who’ve lost weight but haven’t lost it all, there’s this point between buying clothes in a fat lady store and buying clothes off the rack. I haven’t done much shopping because I still have 30 pounds to lose and I don’t want a lot of new clothes that won’t fit in 6 months, so I don’t really know what size I am now.

We live in a small town but there are two lingerie stores on the main street so I decided I’d go there for a laugh and see what the biggest size they sold was. My mindset is still fat, but it’s beginning to change.

I went to the store and asked for the largest size and she asked if it was for me and I said yes.

“What size are you wearing now?” she asked.

“42DD,” I replied.

“How much larger do you need?”

I looked at her funny and said, “Oh, I’ve lost a lot of weight and my bra is too big but I thought you only catered to normal sized women.”

She laughed and said, “You ARE normal sized.”

I can’t tell you what a fantastic feeling that was. I know I am still fat and 30 pounds is still a lot of weight to lose, but I’m more than half way so I know it will all come off. To hear her say I was a normal size was like winning the lottery, I swear.

Then we started trying on bras. 40DD was too big. I smiled. 38DD was a bit too big. I smiled even bigger. When she brought in a 36DD I thought it would never fit and to be honest, it didn’t. The saleslady left and came back with another size 36 bra but it was an E cup. (This old woman has always been well endowed!) It fit perfectly.

Imagine what I’m going to look like once I have the boob job down to a perfect C cup!

There is no stopping me now. I can see the goalposts and I’m going through them. How cool is this!
