I also have a lovely watchline.<br /><br />I'm not yet okay with wearing a swimsuit, but of courswe, it's not just 2-4 pounds with me. It's more like 20-40. We'll get there! :) (I still wear a swimsuit, and maybe I'm kind of okay with it.)Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-30259991438295220462011-06-20T09:53:25.213+02:002011-06-20T09:53:25.213+02:00I live in Hawaii, so swimsuits are a must.

I feel like I'm in a coverup, but fitted underneath... comfortable and functional. <br /><br />Thanks for your post, at this time of my life, I'm striving for healthy self-acceptance as well. Exercise for fitness not rock hard abs...Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775357852517545722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-72655098280689470282011-06-19T22:32:24.505+02:002011-06-19T22:32:24.505+02:00I just bought a new swimming suit the other day an...I just bought a new swimming suit the other day and didn't hate it, or me. That was a big step for me. <br /><br />It is only on a vacation that I care about tanning, etc. But I can't lie and say looking good doesnt matter to me. I wish I could say I lost 30 lbs for my health alone, but that would not be true. I love being a size 6!Kazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411131948607000725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-39528170184216309852011-06-19T02:45:17.493+02:002011-06-19T02:45:17.493+02:00I am getting kind of tired of the public fixation ...I am getting kind of tired of the public fixation on looking perfect, so your post is very very refreshing.

And I always tell myself as I go to the store at night with a black jacket and brown shoes that nobody will care about my fashion faux pas, and if they do, I am sorry that they have to think about my egregious judgment in the fashion department.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162550253703038825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-87385484362287943502011-06-18T20:10:07.527+02:002011-06-18T20:10:07.527+02:00Oh my gosh.

With the exception that I don't tan at all so my veiny legs are just purple and bulgy and plain white.<br />Also, I think you look really good.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703184435092557675noreply@blogger.com
