I don't avoid the beach...but I also have to say that I am not a bikini wearer - I am kinda what you might call a decency freak and don't like peoples bodies all out there for everyone to see~male or female. I think it's about as gross as someone walking around the mall shopping in a thong and skimpy bra - I just don't get it. In my mind, being in public is being in public whether you are at the beach or in the mall. I know...I am a serious minority here. Anyway...I do love to go to the beach. I was just recently there for a picnic with a bunch of friends. Most of us were in capris and t's anyway. The beach is too beautiful to avoid either because you don't like being seen in a bathing suit or whatever your reason is. GO ENJOY IT!!!!!!!

Ohappydaye, I've nto seen any pictures of you.. and I totally hear what you are saying about being comfortable in your own skin.. and that's legitimate - but you aren't at a truly heavy weight... most people would be thrilled to be at your weight... see yourself as the beautiful spirited person that you are.. and (expletive delted because i'm having a potty mouth kind of day) what your thighs look like.
And Iknow you love it when i give parenting advice
but your daughter should be able to see you loving your body no matter what you think you look like.. that whether you're twice as big as you think you are... then you still will have fun and enjoy life...

Yes Mal, I do love it so.
No, but really I do sincerely appreciate what you're saying. I don't say anything around her, I just grin and bare it (literally). We're leaving in the morning, so tonight to get myself in the spirit, we're going shopping for me a new swim suit...maybe a scuba diving suit, yea that's it!!
