Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I know that was quick. But I went to the pool. I was not out of place. The secret is to go in the AM because only the old folks w/hanging skin are there. The young built ones in bikini's don't come out til later. The weather here in Florida is great and the pool was not too cold. But, after ten minutes or so I caught a chill and had to leave. My first time in the sun, so I didn't sun bathe. I hope this chill thing passes eventually. I thought I was over it. Fay Bayuk **300/173 10/23/01 Dr. Open RNY 150 cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I am so excited, I did it. I bought a bathing suit. I just can't believe I did it. I am now going to try & get the nerve to waddle over to the pool. Wish me the strength. Fay Bayuk ************************************* Congrats Fay. I don't own one...mainly because I don't really have a place to use it anymore. When I went to Canada last summer/Fall, we went to a hot springs, and I borrowed a suit from a relative. I also asked to borrow all sorts of cover ups. I put the suit on, and yes, I looked terrible in it....mainly the flappy arms and upper legs. But, I walked out to the pools without even a towel wrapped around me. I figured if anyone had any issues with MY body, that was THEIR problem. Once I got to looking around, you know, I didn't see even ONE perfect body. Everyone has their issues with their bodies...and everyone is so busy worrying about themselves and how THEY look that they don't pay any attention to you! At least no one grabbed their throats and passed out at the sight of me..which I was fully expecting...LOL!! In fact, I didn't get so much as a second glance from anyone...now I'm wondering if that is good or bad? I enjoyed the hot mineral water to the max. GO for it!

I only matter in the eyes of people who care about me. My son-in-law, who pushes me to wear what I want to wear, asked that I try not to wear a thong.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Wow...good thinking on his part....you may have gone and made that fashion faux pas!! LOL! Like NOT! Or, am I being presumptuous in assuming you wouldn't? Regards~ Jacque Distal RNY, 5/30/00 Drs.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I wouldn't wear a thong if I were a hard body, it's bad enough that I have my head up my butt half the time. LOL Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 >> I am so excited, I did it. I bought a bathing suit. I just can't believe I did it. I am now going to try & get the nerve to waddle over to the pool. I'm on a Weight Watchers list, even though I'm not on the program anymore, because I've made some good friends there. But one poor young thing today came on and lamented long and sadly, that she was so disappointed in herself. She's " stuck " at 141 pounds, and could not find a bathing suit that fit her. I think she needs to shop around. I weight 250, and I have a bathing suit that fits -- surely there is something out there that this poor girl can wear! I can't imagine, honestly, being at that level of negative self-image. She's so desperate to get to 120, and has not ever weighed over 155 (or at least that was her WW starting weight, and since she's like 21, I'm thinking she's not exactly a cow yet). I weighed over 150 when I was 10 years old, so I guess it's hard to relate. Yet here I am, shar-pei thighs and bat wings that flap in the breeze, but when I want to swim, I do. It ain't pretty, but that's for everyone else to look away from. I'm grateful to be able to move around enough to get IN the pool. It's all a matter of perspective, right Fay? ~~ Lyn G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
