Confidence for a bikini

I took my kids to the pool yesterday for the first time this year. The night before, I went out and bought a really cute tankini because the one I have from last year makes me look pregnant. I have decided that I will not be wearing a bikini anytime soon because I am still pretty self conscious about my tummy. I have a tiny pooch and a bit of extra skin from having two kids, plus I have IBS so I feel bloated almost constantly. I love the rest of my body and I really don't hate my stomach, but it's not perfect like I'd want it to be to wear a bikini. Anyway, at the pool, I saw so many women who had much worse tummies than mine in bikinis. They seem so confident and not worried about what others think. I wish I could get there, and while I do admit that I think some of them should have the sense to realize that sometimes you look sexier in a one piece or a tankini when you have rolls everywhere, I am very envious of the ladies who look similar to me but find the confidence to wear a two piece.
