AH I JUST BOUGHT A BIKINI!?

First, you shouldn't worry about what strangers on a beach are going to think of you. That said, I know how hard it is to turn that voice off, and I know that insecurities are not chided away. So. Rather than spending your time at the beach fretting about your bikini, maybe you can grab a cute cover-up to help transition yourself into the bikini? Shed it when you feel more comfortable? You should be proud of your hard work, and I wish all women could just smile into the mirror and truly like the reflection-- but life isn't should's and wishes. Take your husband's compliments to heart, and find a way to rock the bikini AND some comfort :) (also, 70 lbs?? GO YOU!!)

bahhhhh

People are jerks. Actually, I just wrote a blog yesterday about a gym-scoff-- I know that feeling. But I hope you can get to where you're comfortable (and me too). I don't wear a bathing suit visible to anyone, so, you're still doing better than me :)

Ugh a scoff at the gym is the most ridiculous place to receive one! Seriously! I sure hope to feel right in my skin and you yours as well too... I fear that a side effect of growing up with image and security issues... leads to always having them now matter how far I get.
