Y'know what's stoopid? (Not off topic, honest)
I want to promise you that people will not be looking at you, even as naturally skinny I was always worried...will ppl be looking at my skinny arms? What if they look at my thighs?
We all fat skinny inbetween have something we are uncomfortable with.
You go to that pool and you rock that new suit, and hold your head high!

Karen, I do Aquafit at out local pool. I have seen more fat, cellulite, bat wings, vericose veins,low slung flab from the pannus area etc etc etc, you get the picture. But hey we are all there just having fun and getting fit. Come to think of it how many people really look good in a bathing suit. Just DO IT!
The bottom part was me when I chose the first time to go sleeveless. I wouldn't have gone sleeveless before surgery- I'm just I guess a bit demure that way. I made myself do it he first time and waited for comments, looks or stares.... Well now I practically live in sleeveless shirts all summer and I don't care.
The first few years it also HAD to be knee length shorts. Lol. Not so much either.
Although I am STILL extremely self conscious from time to time, I've gotten over myself this way. You can do it Karen!

Oh my gosh Dawn, I hear you on the sleeveless thing, hence my huge collection of shrugs and short sleeved sweaters in my closet. I WILL get over this and thank you.

I know how you feel Karen... at 5 years out.. I still am extremely self conscious about my weight.. funny enough, my boyfriend and I went camping a few weeks back and I didn't have a bathing suit that fit me (being 6 months preggo) and I didnt want to spend $$$ on a new one. Off we went to the local walmart to buy a cheapo bathing suit for me... I ended up getting a bikini!! A bikini at 6 months pregnant with a popped out belly button like a turkey timer and all! I couldn't believe I got talked into it. He assured me I looked great, but i still felt exposed and that everyone was talking about. Turns out.. the only mentions were of how big my preggo belly was and trying to figure out how far along I am.. lol
