    Default Happy 4th of July!

    Hope everyone is having a nice, relaxing day. Here's how I spent my morning. I can't tell you how much fun it is to wear a bathing suit after years of NEVER wearing one in public. All the fun I missed out on!

    Happy 4th of July!

    We have spent traveling, but got a real nice treat at the Austin, TX airport with a pipe salute of 50+ WWII and Vietnam veterans traveling. It was real touching. Grateful to be an USA Naturalized Citizen!

    Happy 4th of July! looking comfy!!!

    Yeah....a bathing suit is quiet revealing and I still don't like to wear it that much. Actually just got a smaller size "swimdress" because the one from last year was just too big...my legs still look awful...but I do feel a little better not being that huge anymore, I attract less attention for sure.

    Anyway I'm sure you would rock a bikini like you did for those pink short!

    I still can't ditch the skirt, I think it's a mental thing from being formerly fat.

    I spent the 4th cooking most of the day, so today is my day to relax with my granddaughter. We've been having a grand time out at the pool. Loving these past few days of sun after all the rain rain rain and more rain we've been having. Glad you got to enjoy your 4th in the water.

    You all look great! (sraebaer, Katrina). Wearing a swimsuit in front of people- or just putting one on- is a great feeling... and an accomplishment.
