Chunky monkey needs help

[of-ivory.livejournal.com]

Alright, so, I just remembered I have this thing here. I haven't made a post yet to this comm so yes, hello everybody. I am Hal or Danny or Hey You with the Face, whatever, I'm not picky.
I have a vexing problem.
So, you see, I am a little rotund, a little fluffy, a bit chunky, obtuse. Fat. There are many words. My rear is slowly attaining its own gravitational pull, and let me take an aside to sarcastically thank my genetics for shoving 75% of my fat directly to my HIPS. And I'm working on this, so it is not the problem at hand.
The problem right now is finding a binder I can wear. I have two, from Underworks and while I like one and loathe the other, it is not a matter of quality. They're great little boob destroyers and I would recommend Underworks to anyone in the skinny - pudgy range. I, however, left pudgy about fifty pounds ago.

Are there binders that I can get on without pain and major difficulty? I swear, I have to turn into a contortionist to get my tri-top binder on, but at least I can pull that one over my shoulders shortly before turning into this weird knot of flailing arms. I have to roll that one up (thank you, fat stomach), so it sits like a bra and snaps a couple ribs if I've got it on for more than a few hours. My second one is some kind of evil. It is full length and I can't get it on over my shoulders, so I have to pull it up. This take thirty minutes, I timed myself! It hurts and then if by some miracle, I get it on right, the bottom rolls up to my belly button and won't roll back down. For the three seconds it settles properly, it feels really good.

TL;DR
I'm a chunky monkey looking for a binder. I think I'm like an A? B? I don't know how these sizes work! I'm built like a barrel with a huge butt. I'd have a Frog Bra but they're sold out. Something comfortable that I can actually get on and off without extreme discomfort would be fantastic.

Student Housing - advice needed

[elizabeth1010.livejournal.com]

My school is changing housing (the place I'm in is in foreclosure, awesome). I new place is shared bedroom. They also use two other apartments for student living, which are separated by gender. I called today to see what concessions they made for trans students and got a big fat, "Well, I don't know, let me get back to you." I get a phone call a few minutes later and I'm now have a meeting setup with the director of housing tomorrow morning to "see what my needs are" and stuff.

Umm, anyone got any advice? I don't know what to say other than I refuse to live in a male-only dorm, am not anywhere near passable enough to stay in a woman's dorm, and absolutely refuse to share a bedroom and bathroom with a stranger. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Update on the S.O.

Well, My wife and I talked the other day after I made my post here. She told me that she needs to mourn the loss of her "Husband". So she is going through that kind of grieving process (sort of). Since we can't afford to get her ring resized, she sold it, saying that her "Husband died last year." Things are better now regarding my transition between us.
