That is my little black bikini. You know, the one that I swore I would have the guts to wear in public by the end of the summer.

I realized today that I have one month left to get my ass to the pool wearing that thing. Then I got an e-mail from sparkpeople.com with an article written by a woman who is morbidly obese and does aquatic classes for exercise. She wrote that she often gets asked how she could possibly be comfortable wearing a bathing suit with her body. Her answer was: No one cares. She isn't even on other peoples radar.
Naturally, I started to think about all the people that I have seen at the beach or the pool. I know for a fact that I have definitely "eyed" people on the beach, took in their size and shape. I can not remember a single image or person or body size...there is no one that has stuck to my brain. Not a fat person, not a skinny person and not even a "regular" sized person.
I tend to make assumptions that most people have similar thought processes to me. I am pretty regular. I make my judgments and move on. At the end of the day I don't care about any of those people that I saw at the beach. So why would I assume that any of them give a crap about me and what I look like? Sure they will make their snap judgments, but they will forget about me in 5 minutes.

No one cares.

Sometime very soon I will be strutting all my stuff (wobbly bits and all) down at the pool in my little black bikini.

This is a shirt that I have had for four years. It's also how I feel today.

This is Sasha modeling one of my hair clip creations. She is a gorgeous model.

Today I got a message with regards to my previous post. It was awesome. I plan on sharing it very soon.

Tom and I are going to New Hampshire this weekend, which means that I probably won't be blogging for a few days.


Love!
