Getting a Bikini Body! - A Step-by-Step Guide [With Images]

So in celebration of my first major NSV, I wore a bikini in public for the first time in 11 years, I thought I'd produce a little guide to help others who, like me, were too self conscious to put on a bikini in fear of not having a bikini body! In a matter of two weeks, I succeeded in obtaining one! So how did I do it? It's all rather simple!!
Step 1: Pick out your favorite bikini top.
Sadly, due to lack of funds, I was stuck in Primark, so a nice skull or zombie print was out of the question (booo!) instead, I went for a nice blue and white polka-dot bikini top!
Okay! So you've picked your favorite looking top. So now we move onto...
Step 2: Put on that bikini top!!!
Put it on!! Go on!! DO IT!!! Some may find it easier to take this step in the absence of reflective surfaces... the end result on Step 2 should look a little something like this! ^_^
Viola! We are half-way there ladies... now we need to move onto...
Step 3: Choosing your favorite pair of bottoms!!
Which bottoms do you like? Bikini bottoms which tie? Low rising? Frilly bottoms? Take your pick! I'm serious, whichever one you go "oooo that's nice" to... Pick them up!
**Apologies for the creepy face... ^_^
Forever the Tomboy, I fell in love with a pair of swimming trunks with a space pattern on them (swimming trunks count too!)
Now, like Step 2, Step 4 may be done without the aid of reflective surfaces if you feel they may impede your ability to continue...
Step 4: Put the bottoms of your choice on...
That's right... I want you to put them on! No hesitation! We've made it this far! You're not backing out now!!
And BOOM!! Goes the dynamite! Look at you!! You've done it! That bikini body is smoking!! Now purchase it, if you haven't all ready, get your bottoms down to the local swimming pool or beach and flaunt your beautiful body to the world!
It really is that simple?!
For anyone curious I am 5ft 5" weight 170lbs and wear a UK size 14, I haven't lost a significant amount of weight the key is to just put one on and OWN IT! You can do it!! You don't have to be a model, have a flat stomach or perfect legs, you just have to put it on and go "Dayum, I'm working this!" and go, don't give yourself chance to doubt it! It is the most liberating feeling in the world!! ^_^

I wore my first bikini this week! I still have weight to lose, but I decided to conquer my fear. Once I took my cover-up off, I realized no one really cared - it was only me that was stopping myself from dressing how I wanted to dress.0

That's awesome congratulations!! I did the same thing, once I was actually at the local pool I realized there are many people bigger and smaller than me either more covered or even more scantily clad! No one gives it half a thought! It's amazing! I still have quite a bit of weight to lose but I've been making it a mission to get out of my comfort zone and this was one of the biggest ones for me! ^_^0 -
