    I've been working out and TRYING to eat right... yes i count calories, but always go over.. I was feeling great wearing a 2 piece in my pool a couple weeks ago... but, wasn't so sure anymore after this weekend.

    Im going to Las Vegas for Labor Day Weekend for a Bachlorette party and we have a few of the girls wearing 2 piece bikinis cause they have the big boobs and small waists.

    I am 5'10 and 150 pounds... a size 9 in clothes... i was going to manage up the courage to wear a 2 piece in Vegas, but after talking to 2 of the girls that arent so skinny they were talking about wearing 1 pieces cause they dont want pics to end up on social media of them in bathingsuits.. i didnt care about wearing one, until then.

    I'm glad i came across this post because i was starting to freak out about this weekend... Vegas has wannabe models all over those pools... and although i feel like i'll stick out like a sore thumb, i still want to buid that confidence to wear it and not care...

    I've noticed that attitude and confidence is what really shines...

    You seem confident...so wear it. If you are not where you want to be, what is your plan to get there?

    you look great!, but i think anybody should feel free to wear whatever they like, people do look but they forget one second later and besides it's usually because of their mental hang ups.

    i like looking at people to challenge my insecurities. i.e. those little folds under the bra strap, actually even skinny people have them, only the very young, very fit ones seem to be 100 % smooth.

    If you wonder if you should wear a bikini just go to the beach and take a good look around, we are all just human and you look great anyway.

    I recommend walking around for a week or two in the house in your bikini, taking a second look every time you pass a mirror (or go all out and dance like a crazy lady in front of the mirror every time you pass it, which also burns calories and is fun besides). After awhile, your eyes stop fixating on the bits you don't like and you start seeing yourself as a person in a bikini instead of a bikini on a person who doesn't look like a bikini ad. And how many of us do or ever did? Just about none. MFP has a few, but selection bias.
