Suppose a trip to Kohl's is in order but I REFUSE to face the changing room mirror. I REFUSE! Those darn things are really slightly disguised fun-house mirrors. NO WAY can I be as lumpy, bumpy, and droopy as they make me out to look - NOPE! Not possible - lol

oh, well, just had a physical & all my numbers except the scale (blood pressure, sugar, heartrate, cholesteral etc) were way low...and my dh doesn't run screaming out of the bedroom when i get ready for bed, so who cares...my oldest son is a chef, you think i'm not eating when he's cooking! ha!

LOL. I can sympathize with you on that. For my trip to Utah I've been told to bring a suit. Oh sure...I have to find one first. Weight has always been a problem for me so finding a size 24-26 size swimsuit that might look decent will be a challenge. I'm afraid that I'll have to look at Walmart or perhaps Womans World (internet).
I've been told to check out the short/tankini combination so might do that.

He saw something that resembled Mr. Universe and she resembled something that we all have been describing. I think we are programmed wrong.

I know how you feel Martina...I hate buying and wearing bathing suits. I feel so exposed!! I'm at the point with my kids where I don't have to go into the water, so when we go to the pool, I just sit or lounge...my son always asks why I don't come in. I hate public pools - the volume of urine in there alone is too much for me to stand - we belong to a nice neighborhood pool, but it's full of kids!!
You know its funny too. I lost a lot of weight a couple years ago and I'm the size I always wanted to be. I still look like crap in a bathing suit. It seems to me that it's just not meant to be unless you are an athlete or a model...
