Anyone wearing bikinis?

[EarthyGoalie 253]

It may sound silly, but a very important goal of mine is to be able to wear a bikini with no shame whatsoever. I have lost a lot of weight and I'm rather close to goal, but I found that my weight is no longer my problem to wear a bikini. I worry about my stretch marks and surgery scars. Unlike some people, I don't wear them with pride as a sort of "battle marks"... I wish I did. And my scars are SO there! I just keep wondering if they'll ever fade. I keep feeling like if I do wear a bikini, everyone will look at me and think "look at those stretch marks, she was fatty" or even know that I had surgery because of my scars (no one but my immediate family knows btw).

So my point is, I have these voices in my head making me self conscious about this. I was wondering, is anyone wearing bikinis? Being comfortable in them? has anyone's scars faded to a point of not recognizing them?

I live in south Florida by the way, lol. So the beach is right there, the pool is 2 mins away, I'm surrounded by Water and friends who want to have fun by the water! Lol.

Use Mederma cream...scars and stretch marks fade but not completely...I noticed you weighed what I do now and I am wondering if your skin is loose or if it's fine?

Even thin people get stretch marks! and most athletes get them too when they gain alot of muscle

Thanks, I'll try using it.

As far as my skin, it is a bit loose in certain areas like the upper arm, close to the armpits. Also, my breasts have shrunk and therefore sag more :-(. And the rest of my body is not very tight but I definitely don't have skin that is loose enough to make me self conscious or in need of more surgery. I think if I start exercising more, I'll be fine.

get a nice spray tan. It will help the marks look less visible

I had my gall bladder removed years ago and the scars are very similar-the scars won't necessarily point to bariatric surgery! "Scars are tattoos with better stories".
