Hi Nancy,
I'm so glad you commented on my post. Ever since I joined Susan's I've spent the majority of my free time reading everyone's stories. I found yours particularly interesting. I find you and your wife very inspiring. You know she doesn't approve of your clothes so you underdress for her, and she's taken steps to make you happy as well by not fussing about it too much (I hope). You all seem to have one of those rare marriages that last a lifetime. People from the younger generations don't normally understand things like that. Usually if they're not 100% happy they just leave for something better.
I didn't get a true fitting. I was at a Walmart and I don't know if they do that there or not. I just looked for the biggest bra I could find with the smallest cups. It was a cheap one (under $10). In fact the only size it had on it was 3XXX. I hoped it would fit because I wear either 2X or 3X t-shirts so I thought they might be sized the same way. I'm still not sure if it's the right size or not. But it's comfortable and it feels so good when I'm wearing it so I figure it's right.
I thought with my size it would be extremely hard to find things that fit, but I've been shopping on Amazon and I found all kinds of things I like. Some of them were really girly and pretty and that's the style for me. I was afraid at my size would just be nude colored or black, so I was really surprised.
I haven't bought any yet, but I will be soon. Here's a funny little story from yesterday. I wasn't sure what my circumference was, so I pulled out my toolbox and got my metal tape measure out. Wow...that thing was cold! lol
I hope I got my size right because I'll be using that number to order my next bra. Oh and I'll also be buying one of those cloth measuring tapes too. They're way warmer against the skin.
Since I live in such a small town and I'm not out yet I have to be careful where I shop. But there's a really huge city less than two hours from me and I'll be going there on a shopping trip sometime soon. I figure it'll be safer to shop where I won't run the risk of running into someone I know. I find it sad that I have to do that. But then I look on the bright side and think, hey at least I've finally outed myself to others on this site. That's a big thing for me and I couldn't be happier about it.
