What is your best new summer activity?
We bought a brand new Pontoon Boat a couple weekends before Memorial Day Weekend. I love to swim I grew up swimming on the river we always had boats when I was a kid and swimming is my passion always has been.
Well, for a good two months after we got our boat I would sit and watch everybody jump off our boat because I was scared to death I wouldn't be able to get back up on the boat. We do have a ladder but when you are heavy you have this fear it wont hold you , or you wont be able to lift yourself up to the first rung.
I took the plunge on Sunday afternoon. My wonderful husband talked to me and parked the boat off shore but close enough if I had trouble I could swim to shore and he could beach the boat.
Well I jumped and I got back up on the boat without going to shore !!! I was so excited hubby had to tell me to stop jumping off the boat I was driving our dogs crazy .
You wouldn't think little things like that would mean so much but when its something you haven't done in yrs because of your weight then it feels like you just won a million dollars !!!

Thanks Mary :o)
I dont like wearing suits either I get intimidated especially when you are on the river and see you all the bombshells in their cute little suits and bodies one of these days I keep telling myself lol.
I wear shorts over my suit though. I dont have to much of a problem on the top part. I'm smaller up there and dont look to bad its my hips, and thighs which is pretty bad so I feel a little more comfortable wearing shorts I dont feel so exposed lol.

My best new summer activity is wearing shorts and short skirts that show off my skinny legs!
