jensjoy28 351 Posted June 23, 2013 Oh my, the hard bodies at the pool are going to be quite surprised when I go plop down on a lounge chair... at my size...in a bikini. Even though I still have lots o' weight to lose, I decided I was tired of having pasty white legs because I wasn't enjoying the gorgeous pool at my complex (seriously, it's like The Bellagio) Working on holding my head high and not worrying about what others think...I'm going to take a page from the boys who can have a giant gut, scrawny legs and a hairy back and walk around like they are the ****...off I go :-) 13 HatheryOnHerWay, LifetimeLoser, NotLookinBack and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reigo 111 Posted June 23, 2013 As long as you are comfortable, who cares what others think. If you feel a bit self conscience, try a Tankini which covers a little more but you can still get a good tan and when tanning, pull it higher but when swimming, wear it longer. 1 jensjoy28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted June 23, 2013 Good for you! No matter how much I lose tho I can't wear a bikini. I have too many belly scars (I keloid, so every one of the about 8 scars I have are ugly). I have worn tankinis tho and am almost comfortable in them. My legs are nice enuf but I have a problem with backfat. Even at my lowest 144 last year, I had to wear a shawl with my sleeveless wedding dress cuz of backfat. It's what prevents me from wearing tank tops. I should be like you tho and wear it proudly! I luv tanks, I just feel so self conscious in them. WTG! 1 jensjoy28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jensjoy28 351 Posted June 24, 2013 Here is a pic...tried to be stealthy so it wasn't super apparent what I was doing (so apparently I am fine with strangers judging me for bring fat in a bikini, but not for being vain) lol 6 NoneYa, NotLookinBack, rizabonita and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almostthere34 128 Posted June 24, 2013 You are fearless. My stomach has really flattened out but I can't bring myself to wear a bikini. My stretch marks from my two children are too ugly. One day though. #dreamer. 1 jensjoy28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jensjoy28 351 Posted June 24, 2013 You are very kind, thank you........I had a whole list of things that I was going to say to downplay that compliment, but I need to take my own advise from an early post and just say a gracious "thank you" 1 TonyaA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
