I havent worn my button down uniform at work volunatrily since 2022. When I gained my weight back we even went up a size in shirts and those still didnt fit. So instead of going up another size I just found every excuse not to wear one. Id call out on pub ed days when I could, or talk the officer into wearing our job shirts. I stopped teaching lectures and only taught on practical days at the training center. When I was on light duty I found every excuse not to stay in the office where it was required. Well the last 2 days have not been the prettiest but Ive beenable to button up my shirt and sit at my desk without the buttons flying open - It doesnt look the best or feel comfortable but its better than not being able to wear it so Im going to take the small win.
