So today I purchased my first bathing suit in over 20 years. Not because I wanted to but for my son. Wow I just stared at myself and felt really great. I am so much smaller but still wear big clothes all the time and tend to forget I'm not that person anymore. I have a long way to go but am hopeful this summer I can actually wear shorts. These legs haven't seen sun in forever!!! it just gives me so much motivation. I still have soooo much to go but am hopeful I can someday be comfortable in my own skin and see myself correctly.

You are not alone, today is my nephew's engagement party, and all my clothes are to big, and i think its time to reward myself with some new clothes.

I too just bought my first bathing suit: about 20 years. My last one was a size 18 and had become too small. This one I just bought is a size 10 and it looks amazing!! Never thought I'd ever say that about me and a swim suit!! Wearing it next weekend for a family party at the water park and I can't wait!!
