lemme know when ur here and i will vist u too(since i live on maui too)...lol!  have fun

ur brave..good luck..i cant ever do that..i need my job too much

Well, to make a long story short... I have been having a lot of drama and useless mind blowing stuff happening at work... I finally decided that ME, MY HEALTH and MY FAMILY are more important that a stupid job... so I quit.  Just walked away!  Wednesday was my last day and I can't tell you how FREE I feel!

Thursday morning and today I woke up, took the kids to school and went and walked for an hour just clearing my head and listening to some awesome music.  Yesterday (and so far today) I have been eating really healthy.... no snacking, no cheating, no slider foods.  

I feel like I'm back on track!  I feel FANTASTIC! Like a zillion pounds has been lifted off my shoulders!  Whoo Hoo!

Today I am dedicating several hours to our family budget... finding where to "cut the fat" so we can survive without my pay.  It will be tight and we'll be giving up a lot of luxuries like Cable, cell phones, etc.... but we'll still have eachother!

My congratulations to BOTH of you!!! What a wonderful feeling to know you're on your way to a healthier and longer life! It's those little steps along the way that really encourage us to go on! I am so proud of both of you! Continued success!!
((hugs))

Thanks for all the responses!  
Makena,
I always love your positivity and support. I really hope that insurance will cover a reduction so I am keeping my fingers crossed.  
Viki,
Being fitted for a bra was a positive experience for me. The lady who helped me was named Lisa and she was very personable and made me feel very comfortable. I think it depends on how comfortable you are with being half naked in front of someone you have just met. I treat bra fittings as if it were a trip to the doc. I remind myself that these women have seen breasts better than mine and possibly worse than mine. I just spent two months in physical therapy for a shoulder injury and dislocated ribs and the ill fitting bras were contributing to the problem. So I just went and thought that I would be uncomfortable for 30 minutes or so but the benefits of a well fitting bra would last way longer.
Asia,
I can totally relate to the folding and stuffing! I have lost a lot of volume/density in my breasts so I have stuff and fold too. I can't wait til my weight stabilizes so I can start the process for a breast reduction and breast lift. Right now they are big but not full anymore so it is kind of depressing.  
HIgurl,
I would definitely recommend getting fitted for a bra if you are comfortable with the idea. It has made such a difference for me.
Everybody take care!
