This thread is hilarious! Broken- you're killing it during your detox. Your humor and attitude is amazing!! As for the bra situation- why don't you wear a comfy sports bra? During my first few days, I wore my bathing suit or sports bra.

Okay, I had to comment on the "bra".....

I am a pretty small framed person. 5'1", 102lbs......have no boobs,
YOU crack me up because I ALWAYS have said, "I never got my big
girl body"!..........so you said you got mad at your bra!!! funny!, ....
I have been wearing a padded wire bra for a few years now..... I don't know why....I'm not fooling anybody. .........a few days into my detox....
it was a heat wave here in Southern Ontario and I could not stand one
more second with that contraption choking me........I made a public announcement on fb of all things to "renounced my
padded bra and asked small chested women everywhere to stand up with me and do the same!!!!"..... I got a few "Here, Here's" lol

I love it Kyle!  Clean but miserable!  Spider you always crack me up!  Still got the nest but it's a clean one!  Just put on a baseball cap cuz don't have the energy to fight my hair!  Trying to put on my stupid bra pissed me off!  That anger has given me motivation!  That stupid pill took so much from me!  Nothing stops a mad woman on a mission!  I got up and cleaned the kitchen, worked out, and roast in the crock pot!  I will beat this!  I love yall!  Couldn't have got 69 hours without yall!

"I am miserable!  But clean!"  You can make some extra cash by turning that phrase in to a bumper sticker. Back when I stared detoxing I would have been your first customer.
Keep what you've said in mind. It is very important. When I got past the detox hell but struggled with sleep I was able to function because, stingy eyes and all, I was doing something that I'd failed at for over 15 years and based on that was proud and stayed motivated.
It's worth it. Congrats.

Thanks yall!  The support is making this a little easier as I don't want to let anyone down!  Gotta admit that I didnt brush my hair but it is washed and got out of my jammies!  That's a big step!  But is it normal that the clothes are kicking my butt?  Panties and bras are confusing for me now!  WTH is that about?  Been dressing myself for a long time!  Lol. Still hanging on!  Big girl panties are still on!
