Selfish NSV

So today I decided to take my girls swimming in the lake by our house. Its on private property (owned by our family but not just by us.) I love the sun and it was a private are so I rocked my bikini that I wore on my honey moon 7 years ago. Sure enough up walks a cousin, and some of her friends all of 16 years, also in a bikini. With the flat stomach and high boobs that are standard with youth. It crosses my mind that maybe I should cover up so I don't embarrass myself.

Wraps be damned! I have carried and given birth to and nursed 2 beautiful children. I have let my body fall apart almost to the point of no return but I came back better then ever!!!
This was a huge body image victory for me, I am terribly self conscious but there was a spark in me today of being proud of the body I worked so hard for.
