Y'know what's stoopid? (Not off topic, honest)

Our local outdoor pool opened on the weekend.  It's gorgeous - I mean, really cool.  I SO wanted to go swimming but I had no one to go with so I stayed home on Saturday. Know why? Because after all this damned time, I'm STILL self-conscious of how I look in a bathing suit. I was nervous to go by myself. I surely hope that I smarten the hell up. 

I AM going swimming sometime this week. Alone.  In my new bathing suit. And no one is going to laugh, point, look away or make a fat comment.

Rock that bathingsuit!


I think 99% of women feel self conscious in a bathingsuit no matter what size they are!

I think you're probably right. I need to get over myself. lol

Not stoopid at all..lol...and if I was close, man would I be going with you, I miss the pool so much

Everyone else is worried about hiding themselves so you are fine. lol

I'll come with you Karen.
And I'll hold your hand if you like.

Deal!  We should have a swim/cawfee night!  Lemme check the schedule!

Okay, I checked the schedule.  Monday - Friday 6:05 - 7:30 PM.  That would be perfect for a cawfee night!

Yes, but are they really?  I mean, I don't know what it's like to be a "naturally thin" woman.  Surely most of them must have some self-confidence.

And I have a falt butt and loose skin on my thighs.

I can talk myself out of anything real easy, see? LOL

 Rock it Baby!  As a guy said to me when I was down a mere 50lbs and pondering whether to wear a bikini on my vacation:  "Wear it loud and proud, Sue!  It's all about your attitude and not so much about the little imperfections."  

And honestly if you look around you will see how few of us are perfect but we are all beautiful women!
