Over the last 3 years, I have gained over 65lbs mostly due to work related stress and anxiety on my 9-5. Lately, I've been more intentional about work/life boundaries and I lost 20lbs so far this year. My stomach/waist is gone but my hips, butt, and boobs aren't going anywhere! At work, I notice when clients or colleagues check me out and its so uncomfortable. Does anyone have any shopping recommendations for clothing brands that will fit or hide my body type?

I’ve started shopping at Banana Republic and Abercrombie and found their clothes does a great job, especially the pants.

First of all congrats on the weight loss! That's great. I hate that people are making you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. I think you can find professional work clothes any where; like the poster mentioned, BR is a great store. I don't know if I have your specific body type but I have also found some great finds with Express and Zara (Zara can be a hit or miss though). Like I said, congrats on the work you've done to get healthier and I hope work is a lot less stressful.

If it’s in the right spot embrace it.

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind.

Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.
