Swimsuit Season...

It's that time of year dreaded by most women,especially us mommies who are still trying to obtain something that resembles a waist.I have a really cute blue vintage swimsuit I'm hoping I can wear to one of the lakes when we move to Alaska,assuming I can get my waist back to 26 inches again.It's currently at 31 inches so I'm still in the red zone health wise as your waist should at max be no more than 1/2 your height and I am but a mere 5 feet.

I'm making progress and as I mentioned a few posts ago am still pretty camera shy but I can't hide from the world until I meet my goal weight again and it's also fun to have pictures because I can see the progress I'm making.It wasn't too long ago that my waist was 36 inches so it is coming off.I'm NOT a Hollywood mom photo-shopped on the cover of a magazine telling you how easy it is...yeah if I had a personal chef,personal trainer and a nanny to watch my kid while I did all this I'm sure I would be too,bite me.

I recently came across a 1950's Jantzen swimsuit for my shop.Luckily it's too big so I'm not tempted to keep it.Things that fit I always keep and things that are too small I keep too telling myself I will lose the required weight needed to wear it,ha ha!Since Violetta my handy dress form doesn't do bathing suits as she has no legs and thus it looks silly on her I had to choice but to shake my body woes and saddle up and model it myself.Here are a few snaps my self timer and I took.

  10. Oh my.

    If I were as young and shapely as you, I'd be outside doing my yard work in that suit day and night!

    Rock it, and STOP feeling self conscience! I look back at photos of myself when I was your age, and at the time I didn't feel pretty at all. Now I'd give my best Eames two-tiered fiberglass lamp to have that body of mine back ha ha.
