One of my buddies talked about bikinis and it got me thinking...I realized that since I was a kid I've never worn a swimsuit to the beach. Even was I was in the best shape of my life I didn't have the confidence to wear even a one piece.
I lived in Hawaii, and not everyone that goes to the beach is skinny, but so many people that are overweight wore bikinis...and I guess it has to do with confidence.
Idk why, but this one particular lady has stuck in my mind. She was pretty heavy, and was wearing small shorts and a bikini top...and all I could think of was how confident she seemed, and even though she was heavy she wore it well. I don't think she cared about anything at the moment except enjoying herself with her baby.
I think my lack of self confidence holds me back...right now I can easily blame my weight on so much...why ppl don't talk to me, why I can't get a job ect...but if I'm thin what do I have to blame, but myself.

Self confidence usually was not an issue for me but I've had plenty of other things to deal with. When I find that something in my mind is getting in the way of my progress I seek out books, websites and or professional counseling to work though the problem. It is very brave of you to open up here on FS so this is a great start for you. Love yourself and go online order a nice one piece bathing suit and put it on. Wear a cover up if you have to but once you are at the beach sit in your chair and enjoy the sun. Go for a swim. It is all for you and your pleasure - don't give a hoot about anybody else. I had a reunion and there were photos of me next to my "not so fat" friends and it did shock me as to my overweight appearance. So here we are trying to do something about it.
