Guise! Like, seriously guise. Seriously. SERIOUSLY, you guise! LOL!

I just bought myself a swimsuit after YEARS of not wearing 'real' ones and it came via UPS today. Okay, no ... it isn't a bikini. No, it isn't even a "tankini." It's called a skirtini and I am very pleased with how I look in it! I started my journey (on the right) at 475 lbs six months ago. Today, I tried on my new swimsuit at 92 lbs lighter in the ladies room at work because I was too excited to wait until I was at home.

I put it on and HOLY CRAP! I am still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that it's me in the mirror because I knew I had lost weight, the scale told me I had lost weight, my clothes told me I had lost weight, the tape measure told me I had lost weight ...... but this is my first time really "seeing" it.

Yes .... I still have quite a ways to go with my weight loss but I don't think I look horrible in this getup. I have big thighs and a booty, so the bottoms flatter that area.

So many women want to "rock the bikini" and will never, ever go swimming because they think they can't wear one. I think I am a testament to the idea that you should find the suit that flatters your body and works for you. I could have *not* bought a new suit and stayed in my lounge chair by the pool for yet another scorching southern summer. Nope, not doing it anymore.

GRAB LIFE BY THE HORNS!

    You look fantastic! Where did you order the suit from? It is so pretty, and doesn't look like an old lady, frumpy suit.
