My bathing suit is dying...the threads are coming loose and you can pull pieces of elastic out of it in various places. It's a cute skirted, black bathing suit that has gotten me a lot of compliments in the last 8 years that I've had it. But as with most things....it's time is waning. So, I trekked off to a few places to "bathing suit shop."
Now, most women....no matter their size...do NOT like to bathing suit shop. The reasons are very clear...dressing room mirrors are made to make you appear unflattering. Your legs bulge, your stomach sticks out, your boobs sag...it's just a horrible, horrible experience for most women! For me, it's worse than most...I found a cute bathing suit on sale for $20. I take two different sizes a 2X and a 3X, knowing that there's no way the 3X is going to fit, it's going to be too big. Boy was I wrong!!! Not only was it not too big, but it was very, very snug. My legs looked like 50 pounds of flabby, cottage cheese. My thighs didn't separate. I was absolutely mortified at myself. How? When? Why?
And finally...NO MORE!!! I cannot live the rest of my life this size. I cannot be that old woman with the huge ass sticking out, with calf's the size of normal thighs...I can't do it. I won't do it. I HAVE to change it. And, I'm the only one that can!

So, folks....here's the transparency of my journey...today, I'm 260lbs. My current goal is to be 230lbs by November 20, 2009! Wish me luck!
