Swimsuits Suck

Jun 09, 2011

So I had to buy a new swimsuit since the ones I owned were too big now...that's the only good part of this story...
Last night, I must have tried on 50 or more swimsuits, no exaggeration...and this was not my first trip out looking, it was my third!

How is it that all my confidence I've gained over the last few months went out the window...I mean, I feel great in my clothes now...even sexy sometimes...but these swimsuits are horrible...when I was larger I just wore the skirted dress types and was done with it...but after losing nearly 60 pounds I wanted more...I wanted something more youthful, something reflecting my progress so far....I wanted to look as good as I feel....

I tried just about every Miraclesuit or other brand Shaping bathing suit...tried one pieces, tankinis, two pieces, skirted, non-skirted....nothing looked good to me...if it sucked it the stomach, it made the thighs look bigger...if it held up the boobs nicely, it made the stomach look poochy...ugh!

Not to mention that those shaper ones are like torture devices...I had more scratches all over my chest from just trying to pull them up and into place! So I said....forget it! I'm not going to wear something that is extremely difficult to put on dry...just imagine how it will be wet from swimming!

So I bought a two piece, no miracle anything, size 12...just plain old me....lumps and bumps and all....now it is super comfy, has a tiny bit of skirt to it, but not frumpy, it's fun and bright colored.... and I guess I don't look awful...but boy oh boy...I wish to be at goal now for summer time and swimsuits...next year for sure...
