Leaving Nursing Job (Srubs), To Admin Position (Profession Clothes), Help! I'm In Need Of Size 10/12-13S



Recommended Posts

Recently my job flipped 230 employees life around by doing ahuge lay off and moving some of us around.

They put me on pms due to my seniority. I then had to think about me, my family and my safety. (I take the train to/from work, train at 2am in Chicago is very dangerous!)

I don't have babysitter, our life got flipped upside down.

I just got a call yesterday, offered job position but requires business dress up clothes!

I have non! I have worked in nursing for years and years, so I never purchased business clothes with my new body. I start in 2 weeks and I have no money to buy a huge wardrobe!!!!! I kept using the same size 12 dress to every interview, even the 2nd interview for this position!

If anyone is selling on ebay please send me links, if anyone is giving away or swapping, please let me know!

I am also thinking of going to thrift shop and hopefully find some pieces!!

Thank You!

All through my weightloss I was at Goodwill about once a month, returning clothes I bought the previous month and buying new ones. Just keep your receipts!

BTW, they have colored tags and each day a different one is 50% off. I would go there before ebay.

I have to go to a better neighborhood goodwill, I went to the ones by my house... lol, um no! I went to ebay and well, either I am not searching correctly, but I just don't see good deals for used clothes like I would find at goodwill prices, lol

I didn't know we can resell them the clothes! That is a great idea! It would be a waste of money to keep buying new clothes if it won't fit in a month anymore!

Thank You for the tip!

I should qualify my statement of returning the clothes ... I meant to say I donated the clothes back and kept the donation receipts for tax purposes. Otherwise, that just wouldn't be honest and truthful, IMO.

My Goodwill has great dress clothes for men and women. Just go back when you have more time and do a more exhaustive search. The dress clothes are there.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE... so I ran into some financial struggles due to a family emergency so i could not buy new wardrobe after all! So I wore a size 14 pair of business like pants to my first day of work.. they fit me so big that I had to wear my jeans under them! It didn't look bad at all, but i couldn't feel the pants falling off of me a few times at work!!! lol, how terrible! poor me! I laugh about it now! ..so for the first week, I wore that pair of pants and 2 dresses I owned. So what i did was buy a few pair of skirts...

I was having such a hard time to buy pants size 10/12 or even a tight 14. I am 5ft even so it was hard to find pants that will fit me good in length and good in thighs.. all of the seemed to big on the thighs and big on the booty... I did find JC Pennys pants in petite section fit me great! My husband bought me a pair for NYE party :) they were pink, I wore my black suede heel boots and a nice cream sheer shirt with it. I looked hott!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
