My first NSV :)

So, having been overweight my whole life, and extremely pale and self-conscious, I'm the first person to cover up my beach body.

Well, today I decided that this should no longer be the case. I originally told myself I had to drop 10 pound before I bought a bikini, but I saw the top at Target, and it actually FIT!

I have always been *cough* top heavy, and finding any bathing suit is a hassle. I obviously still have a long way to go, but having the guts to buy a bikini and actually wear it for the first time in my adult life is an INCREDIBLE NSV for me.

Sorry if anybody is offended by a lady in a bathing suit! :)

    Way to go! Those NSV as just as critical, if not more, than the scale. Wear it proudly!

    Thank you! The new confidence is killer. I'm an extrovert to the max but my self-esteem has always left something to be desired.
