The future me

After some thought about yesterdays post and reading the post/links that my sister left me (about the Italian women in the media) I have come up with another challenge for myself.

Yesterday, I mentioned my "future me" purchase -which happens to be a black string bikini.

What would happen if I actually wore it in the very near future? Not a year from now when I will be "ideal" but this summer with B.O.B and all. What if I got over the thought that everyone else will be watching me and just did it? I think I might try it.

We have a pool at our complex and it would be the perfect place to experiment (not too many people actually use it). So here is my next promise to myself and to you, by the end of this summer I will have strutted ALL my stuff bikini clad at the pool.

I am not at that point yet but as each day passes and with all the support I have received I feel more and more confident about myself and this new lifestyle.

So this shout out goes to all my wonderful friends and family who have been super supportive this first week. Thank you.
