I've never really been overweight, but I was a chubby child, turning into a weight conscious teenager.. I guess puberty helps, because over the past few years I've actually got some curves. I've always been way too self conscious to wear a bikini - they never looked good on me. My arms were always too chubby, there was too much flab around my belly, but not enough to fill out a bikini top, and my legs were just wobby and horrible.

On Saturday, I impulse bought a cute bikini on sale - despite the only options being a Size 6, or size 14. ( 2, and 10, for my american friends) I got the 6, not really expecting it to fit (See, I'm terrible with money in my pocket! :laugh: ) BUT IT DID!! IT FIT!

I love it :) I still want to lose a few pounds, and tone up, but I'm getting there. I may not have lost much weight, but I've gained a lot of confidence, so why shouldn't I share it here. This is my FIRST EVER proper bikini. To me, that's an awesome NSV.

:flowerforyou:

Edit - Oh yeah, the tags are still on, becuase I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it. They've since disappeared. :bigsmile:

    Wonderful - you look fabulous :drinker:

    Very few ladies can ever pull this off without turning heads for all the wrong reasons.
    Well done on your achievement, and have fun showing off.
    Part of having it is showing it.
