An NSV that nearly got embarrassing.

Okay, I finally got signed up with the local gym so that I could start swimming again. In June of 2013, I got into a swimsuit for the first time in more than 50 years. By November, I was loving my water activity and swimming one hour of laps every day.
Unfortunately, I had to stop swimming in November, when my surgeon scheduled for double knee replacement surgery. My recovery has been slow and painful; but I was so determined to finally get back 'in the swim'.
I have 2 swimsuit, the dress over panty kind. The first day, I noticed that my navy blue suit was loose in the top; but I have lost about 60 pounds since last summer; and my breasts have gone down from 46DD to 40C. That would explain the looser fit in the top of my suit.
However...last evening, I put on my purple swim suit; and it was the panties that felt loose. Those panties seemed to fit well enough to hold up around my waist, but the butt was 'quite roomy'. I didn't have anything else to wear; so, off I went to the spa and the pool.
Once I got in the water, things got very interesting. After only 15 minutes of back stroking, I had the strangest sensation that I had 'too much ventilation' in the crotch of my swim pants. I stopped swimming in the shallow end and reached down to find that the crotch of my panties was now stretched to almost to my knees. If I had kept swimming, those panties would have dropped to my ankles in no time at all. :noway:
There were several other folks in the pool, and I did not want to be suddenly exposed. That's when I realized that my swimming was done for the day. :blushing:
When I got home, I showed my husband my now very stretched out swim pants. He joked that he could get in those pants with me. :laugh:
Was the problem the swimsuit material? No. The swimsuit is a size 20W; and I am now a size 12/14 in pants and a size 8 in underpants. Those 60+ pounds that I have lost have showed up as a flatter tummy and a much smaller butt.
It is definitely time for me to buy a couple of new swimsuits. Today, I placed an order for 2 new swimsuits...in a size 14. I'm not sure that I am ready for size 12 in swim panties yet.
So, my NSV is simply...I am no longer "TOO BIG FOR MY BRITCHES". In fact, I am too small for my britches, which is really good news for a lady who used to weigh almost 290 pounds.
