Bathing suit weather

Ok..here it goes. I have always been incredibly self conscious about my legs. They have always been "thick. I gained 60 lbs with the pregnancy of my 2 yr old. I lost 50 of those lbs. I have been going to the gym 3/wk for the last 6 months. I have not lost any weight but feel as though I've tones up. I am terrified to wear a bathing suit and afraid people will stare at me. I was bullied in elementary school and it sticks with me. I have worn long pants and maxi dresses to hide my legs my entire life. The only time I wore short dresses in the last 20 years was on a cruise in the Caribbean.

Here is what I look like now, I do not have any before pictures unfortunately.55usra6pdbwq.jpg

    Don't be self conscious you look great!!! Keep doing what your doing and keep the focus on you and not the detractors.

    You rock that suit! I struggle to accept my legs/thighs but just think how much they do to get you around everyday! You're doing great!

    You look great. Keep up the good work! I'm working out daily and the scale hasn't.

    Adorable suit! Rock it, girl! Truthfully, I only catch myself staring at people on the beach who wear clothes instead of swimsuits, and that's because I feel bad for them. Who wants to get in the ocean in shorts and a t-shirt? I love it when people rock the body they have in a swimsuit. Be proud!

    Wow. You look great! That bathing suit fits you so well. When it comes to compliments and such, I heed the advice, "If you have anything nice to say, don't say it at all," so when I say you look great, I genuinely mean it. :)
    Even if you haven't lost any weight, you've done well sticking to a workout routine. Progress is not always determined by the number on the scale.

    You look fine. Go to the beach. Take walks and swim and enjoy.

    Really, nearly everyone feels a little vulnerable at the beach because 99% of us aren't swimsuit models.

    I wish I had legs like yours! I have had chunky legs since I put on weight as a child and I know the feeling of being insecure about them. The only way you'll get better about it is to go for it :)

    You are gorgeous and that suit accentuates your lovely figure. Trust me when I say that the vast majority of people at the pool/lake/beach are just as self conscious as you are about something.

    I personally think you have lovely shapely legs. They look super strong. Mine have loose skin on them and look a little lacklustre and pathetic. I would love to have your legs.

    Thank you so much for the kind words :) I try to tell myself that almost everyone has something about themselves that they dont like.

    You look amazing and I love the suit. I wish you could see yourself the way others do, I'm sure if you could you'd see how stunning you really look. Enjoy your summer.
