      You are all very helpful, and funny!!! I will be drinking, getting a spray tan, and for my first shot at being comfortable in my bathing suit, here is a pic. Be kind...

      I firmly believe that what we see in the mirror is not how others see us. We are so hard on ourselves. I recently bought a bikini and was shy about wearing it. So I snapped a selfie in the mirror and was shocked by what I saw. I snapped 5 more--all looked the same. I was very pleased, and wore that bikini with confidence. Get tge spray tan and snap a few selfies. I bet you are pleasantly surprised. Have a great vacation!

      This is a great idea too! I sometimes use those lotions and most are not that great. How long does the spray tan last? Is there a type of spray tan that is better than others? Thanks in advance!!

      I like this idea of wearing the bikini to get used to it - I never feel comfortable in a swimsuit, no matter what kind I wear or what my weight is - I feel like my bum is hanging out, or my stomach....I just feel weird. The tanning lotion I believe helps also - I always feel like it covers flaws or whatever.

      So true! Having a nice tan and also getting used to the swim suit is a good idea! Whenever I weigh myself, I take a good look in the mirror to get used to the changes and take a moment to appreciate the healthier version of myself. It's good inspiration to stay healthy too since I am getting used to what I see!

      You look amazing!!!! Have fun.
      I honestly don't think you need to do anything extra to "get ready". Just show up as you are :happy:

      Yeah, you've got no issues to be worried about. Adorable top on that bikini, too! Just go out there and have fun. No one's looking at anyone who's wearing a top anyway. ;)

      I have never worn a bikini without something over the top, like a cover up. I have worked my *kitten* off for six months and this summer, I'm going to get in one if it's the last thing I do - I have wasted my entire twenties hiding a pot belly and worrying about my small chest and it stops NOW :huh: my tummy has always been hidden from everyone so to get used to the idea of people seeing it I changed my profile pic on facebook and on here.

      Have an amazing time :drinker:

      You ROCK said bikini this summer! Your profile pix looks great and you look like you have put in some really hard work!

      When I get ready for a bikini vacation I like to take 2 weeks to debloat, while continuing to do my normal workouts. I cut out wheat, artificial sweeteners, sugar, and basically any bloating foods, like fibrous veggies and dairy, and obviously alcohol. 2 weeks seems to be the magic number for me to get "vacation ready", my belly gets flat and I feel great. It probably isn't 100% necessary! but like you said it's mostly mental anyway so why not make yourself feel great and confident?
