    Default Bathing suit shopping-yikes!

    We are heading on a holiday shortly and I have put off trying on bathing suits! Clothes shopping is one thing as they can camoflage body flaws but a bathing suit is different. I'm not quite to my goal and of course there is still loose skin hangin around! But wish me luck and I hope to find something that I can feel comfortable in!

    Miracle Suits and SlimSuits are amazing and sometimes they even have them at discount stores like Ross. They have underwires for support and hold in your "giggly bits" I highly recommend! They have them full price at Dillards, and maybe Macy's? My last Miracle Suit was so comfortable sometimes I would wear it all day if we were going to the lake in the afternoon instead of changing there.

    Giggly bits....I like that! I live in Canada so we don't have those stores you mentioned. But there is a store that has 50% off suits tomorrow beginning at 7:00 am. I will give them a look and see how I make out. I bought some workout clothes yesterday-in case I get the urge to workout! lol. Actually, more for walking which I love to do now that spring is really here. And they are tighter fitting so getting used to having form fitted stuff on instead of my baggy, boxy styles I wore to try and hide everything!

    Ok, I survived it! Tried on about 20 suits. Decided I don't like the 1 piece. I bought a black little skirt thing and 3 different tops. Tried the Miracle Suit but didn't like the prices and I didn't love the styles for the price I was going to have to pay. Found a store with 1/2 price on suits today so that made it less painfull! So I am set for Mexico now. My beef though-after losing weight and LOVING the fact that I am in smaller sizes, the stupid bathing suit sizing is always bigger. So instead of a 10, I am into a 14/16! Darn you bathing manufacturers!
