Well I did find the one thing that is more terrifing than putting my weight and photos online... Swimsuit shopping! (Cue: Scary music) But considering the fact that we're taking the boys to an amusment park on Wednesday and there's a water park there and there is no way that Matt can take both boys in at once... I need a bathing suit that isn't a maternity suit.
So I braved Walmart. Still the only place to shop around here. And tried on litteraly EVERY bathing suit in my size and a couple that weren't. Let me just give you a tip. This is not the time and place to delude yourself into thinking that you can fit into that smaller size. The humiliation of that is so much worse than actually just sucking it up, grabing the right size and then cutting out the tag at home.
Then I snuck in pictures of myself with my camera phone and got advice from the one person that I know will not feed me malarkey... Matt, my husband. So between really bad pictures of swimsuits and a ton of text messaging we finally settled on a suit. It's more of a swim dress (whatever that is) But it has all of the tricks. It sucks it in where it needs to. It misdirects the eye to other locations (to hopefully the person next to me) and then it covers up every thing that can't always get shaved or liposuctioned. Short of becoming a hologram of someone else's body it's done all it can. The rest is up to me!
OMG that is so funny, but not funny at the same time. I got a swimdress also, lol, mine is black background with pretty pink flowers and yes it looks like a mini dress. I also bought a cover up that is very light almost meshy material but not see thru. I wore it all the time when I was in DR, it saved me from soooo much. LOL you can wear it in the pool, when "accidentally" you go in with it, then forget that you have it one, then it's wet so what's the point of taking it off. ;-)
