Fun with dolphins...

Went to Discovery Cove in Orlando over Christmas... husband and I swam with dolphins and such. I don't point that out because of the dolphins, I point it out because when we went to get fitted for our mandatory swim vest thingies, the guy took one look at me and handed me a small.

A small.

Of course in these pics all I see is my dangly boobs and floppy, humongous upper arms (I can work out until the end of time, but muscle will never fill out skin, sadly).

And I also see the small vest. A small. I love my life.

Great pictures! Looks like so much fun. So cool you are touching the dolphin. You look amazing ... I didn't even notice your arms or boobs. You both look happy and healthy. Congrats on working the program, happy for your success.

A SMALL OMGosh!! Amazeballs :) Congratulations on that NSV. At 5'11" I think I was probably born bigger than a small, lol.

Congratulations on a wonderful NSV. I think you're being way too hard on yourself; when I look at the photos I see a happy and attractive woman having a blast (love the dolphins!).

Your arms and boobs don't look saggy at all; you look great!

I totally get what you are saying. So exciting. Great pictures. We are on a cruise and went scuba diving yesterday and the guy said, "I'm going to put her in a small." It made me so happy. I typically was worried if I would be able to fit in a men's XL. It is awesome. I wish I had the surgery years ago.
