Bikinis and Body Issues Don't Mix

Before I went on vacation, I knew I'd have to bare skin on the beach and I wanted to feel confident when I did so. Well after years of hiding behind layers of clothing, I started putting some of my worries behind me and felt great! It's so liberating when you finally stop worrying about what others think and start accepting what you were given, don't you think?

  2. THAT is wonderful to hear. :) You are a beautiful person and need not worry what the little evil devils in your head try and say. Those buggers need to be put to rest. Permanently. Enjoy yourself, your life, your body. It's that easy. :)

  3. dama, well hopefully you're not walking around like that in the streets because then of course people are going to talk! And please throw on the clothes while I'm around. I'm all for loving your body, but I get a bit uncomfortable with your comfort levels.

    tooj, thank you and that's a wonderful statement to live by. But sometimes - when you let yourself get caught up in some of the things you see and hear - it can be hard to actually put into practice. Especially if you believe the unrealistic images that make you think something is wrong with you because you don't fit the "mold." A silly thought since no one does. Everyone's unique!

  5. You are so drool-worthy I'm befuddled about how you even had/have body issues to begin with...

    But I'm telling ya, the world is a better place now that feel more confident with things... There is one more piece of art to look at.

  6. Dorkys, that is awesome. I find that most because grow weary of thier bodies as they age, but you missy.... You are the total opposite.

    I wish I could feel as fantabulous.
    PS. I want to give a shout out to the cast of twilight.
