Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hi gang, This is interesating, as I was thinking all day yesterday about doing a body image post also. Things are definitely changing for me, and the weird thing is that I can pinpoint the exact moment it happened! Suddenly I am OK with the body I have. My thighs are still loose (I had the inner thigh lift with only a crotch incision), I still have a bit of loose tummy skin as I've never had my tummy tuck revision and probably won't --- can't afford it). So I am not perfect by any means. But on Saturday I put on a hot pink bikini to go to the neighborhood pool where half the people I know always are! I bought the bikini last year right before my tummy tuck, thinking I'd be perfect enough to wear it right away. Haha. I never got to the perfect part. But I wore a 2-piece last weekend and nobody arrested me, so on Saturday I got out the hot pink one. And put it on. And dayam! Just wearing it made me happy as a loon. Sounds supremely dopey, I know, but there you go. Made me happy; I was grinning like a fool. I wore it all day, and I didn't wrap a sarong around me to hide my legs, and I didn't wear a big old coverup to hide my belly. I just wore it the hell all day long and loved it. It's just like somebody threw a switch in me and suddenly I said to myself " This is the body I have and I've worked hard for it and even if it's not perfect it deserves a pink bikini. " OK, all you smart psych types, analyze this! I'd really like to know how I got so comfortable with myself all of a sudden. hugs and a pink bikini to you, too -- Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
