i wore a bikini top proudly

[mina 27]

The fact that I looked forward to vacation was amazing and to go to the beach was unbelievable. First of all I fit into the airline seats! I wore bikini tops with shorts and did not feel self concious (before I wanted to be covered from my neck to my knees, lol). I had a good time taking pictures, I used to be unhappy anytime someone wanted to take pictures of me but this time I was asking everyone to take my picture (my friend bless her heart was very patient with me). I have lost 60 pounds and am loving it (40 since the surgery in june). YAY for the sleeve!!!

how great! I'm not brave enough yet to do that. . . shorts yes and i even wear the short shorts and tank tops. . . i have never had tanned legs before but now i sure do. . .

Isn't the fitting into the plane seat a wonderful feeling? keep up the excellent work and good luck to you!

That's wonderful! I love going to amusement parks (I *love* coasters) and i have always wanted to be able to wear a bikini with shorts (figured i'd dry out quicker after the Water rides)... I can't wait to be able to do that. You made me smile today
