Here is another first for me. It has been more then ten years, since I last worn any form of swimming suit, if it was at all possible I would swim in a complete cover up.
The difference between the last time I wore a bikini and between the now, this time I was wearing a full swimsuit. This time I felt more confident, than I did then. The last time I was a tiny little school girl and now I’m a full grown woman, with two children. no I’m not in shape, I’m also not awkwardly out of shape. But I braced myself and swam in a swimsuit, okay so I covered myself up as soon as I got out of the pool.
Before my idea of a fun time next to the pool, was looking fab (which can be a great plus). just do add, I did look fab, only a fuller fab. But ultimately what was important is that we had a relaxing time that I was with the people I loved and that I felt great in my shape.
Ofcourse I’m also no idiot to parade in my cottage cheese thighs but I have a great time. As in the past I would not even where a shorts because of how I felt in my body.
But being at the resort with other woman, I realize that the majority of woman looks like me and most probably felt just like me, liberating to walk in their swimsuits.
I felt just as great as the skinny girl on my far left, if not better, I felt admired by my husband, of course how he feels is very important and I did not embarrass my kids, while they not old enough yet to feel embarrassed, they might have said if they were a little bigger.
While I was sitting I was reminded of the uk program how to look good naked, how a punch of woman met on a football field, I could see I had a lot in common with those woman, those woman represent the majority of the woman in the world.
So, there is some, that is flawless, God bless your soul and I will always be a little envious. But I relate to my fellow sister and I want to say don’t be ashamed of who you are, you are beautiful just the way you are.
I also realize that full swimsuit can look just as sexy as a two-piece. So, for those of us that can soke up the sun, lets make the best of the weather embrace our bodies. Because confidence turns my husband on and I’m sure so it does other man if you single.
There is some great swimwear outside and great cover-ups that can make a girl look sexy.
So this time around I say cheers to my zero (0) size girlfriend and I embrace my difference. Laugh out loudLif you like, I’m a confident beautiful women.






This is a great post - I frequently feel sentiments exactly like yours when it comes to bodies and swimsuits. (and sadly it doesn't get easier as they years come and go:) We spend a great deal of summer time on a boat where swimsuits are the attire for the week, and I finally just have to resign myself that I'm not going to look hot, fit and 20'ish, but I can still look good.
