Bikini pre-plastics anyone? (pics - eek)

You look a helluva lot better than I do!!! 

If it's bugging you get one of those swim skirts. The kind where the bikini bottom is built into the skirt. It covers a bit more of the midsection/butt/upper thighs. I still wear the one piece swimsuits with the skirts attached. But in the end do what you want. No one is likely to care and you don't have to care if they do! 

I think you look awesome.  And if anyone says otherwise, that's their damage, not yours.  

Thank you everyone!

Sometimes I see myself in the mirror - like today at the gym, and I'm just like damn, your FIT!  But in my head I definitely still feel like a fat girl.  I have been overweight since before junior high.  So it is kind of ingrained in my identity.  I hope I can get the fit girl ingrained instead.  

I hope you do too!  I'd imagine that it'll take us all years to rewire how we've learned to think of ourselves.

Every time I think about my flappy arms or thighs I remind my self that I have lost 100 pounds. I would much rather show off my flappy arms than my fat arms. If anyone says anything to me my response is "I've lost a 100 pounds, I've worked hard for this loose skin. You can go **** yourself. Have a great day!" Not that I have had to say that, but that is my prepared response if it ever comes up!

P.S. You look awesome!

Your tummy is in great shape!  I had two stomach folds that would hang down--an upper and lower.  Not pretty, but I also had 2 kids, and one of them was a 10 lb baby, so it is what it is (or was, yay lbl).

If it bothers you find one of the suits with the giant "retro" bottoms like I got (see pic in my bikini post).  You could absolutely do that.  Plus less sunscreen, lol!

You look fantastic! Wear it with  confudance !!!

Do it!  You look great! 

Oh, sweetie - I've been at goal weight for 6 months and I will NEVER look that good in a bikini, don't even know if plastics would get me there.  You go right ahead and wear it.  By the way, your boobs look awesome in that thing ;-)
