Hello Swimwear and Lingerie Fans.
I was all excited to come on here today and tell you about some of the fantastic new Spring/Summer 2011 swimwear collections that are coming out these days!!!
But… unfortunately, each time I looked at something I was totally coveting… I found myself repeating the phrase, “I would love to wear that, I just need to lose 15 Lbs.”
WTF!
{Screw you stupid insecure girl locked inside my brain!!!}
Seriously, I have missed out on so many fun activities over the past few years thanks to my insecurities. I adore, summer and I adore swimming and playing in the sun. I have avoided these activities over the past little while because I wasn’t happy with myself and my body.
While cruising the internetz, I happened to notice that there are a plethora of news items coaching women on how to lose their extra pounds before swimsuit season.
While grocery shopping, each magazine promised me that I could make a drastic difference in my silhouette before the summer weather showed up.
WHY?
Why do I have to lose weight to have fun?
I really miss playing. I think it is time to call out the magazines once and for all. Stop telling me I have to lose weight to be a part of society.
They should tell me about all the wonderful things that there are for me to do. The events that I need to check out and not reinforce my insecurities.
{SHAKES FIST at all those stupid undermining magazine!}
Sheesh. Phew… okay I feel much better. Really gave the old soapbox a good workout there didn’t I?
Righto, tomorrow some actual swimwear or lingerie… I promise!
Cheers,
Maggie
I feel your pain 100%. Everytime I look at bathing suits, or anything that slightly form-hugging, I think “If I just lost some weight it would look amazing.” *sighs*
I have to ask though, where is that gray/black suit from? It is gorgeous….I…I want it too! I understand why you love it completely.
Well said!
Thank you…now I need to follow through. Can’t let those little whinging doubts to sneak back in.
Thank you very much! Glad you like the post 🙂
