Big Body Image Realization this weekend
This weekend my husband and I took our two biggest dogs to the lake to go swimming for a couple hours. Its at my in-law's house, and we hang out with them and their dogs for a few hours. We do this a couple times a summer ever year.
I had the weirdest realization, that evening, about 6 hours after we got back.
That day I wore a bikini and didn't give it a second thought.
I didn't think any thoughts about "do I look fat in this?"
I didn't worry about what anyone would think about me in it.
In fact, I didn't think about my body at ALL except for checking to see if I got a sunburn or not.
I did not worry, fret, or obsess about my body. All I did was SWIM.
How completely WEIRD is THAT! A year ago I would have never thought this possible.

Nope, no sunburn. My husband, however, got a bad one. :(
I'm outside every day though so I'm tanned and used to the sun thankfully.
That is simply wonderful. You are truly healing. By the way, I think there is something very wrong with Sharon (nothing to do with you) and I have so much compassion for what she did to you. I read about it when it happened and if I saw her I would probably go up and shake her and scream. There is nothing you could have done to make someone mentally healthy do that to you.
THAT'S GREAT! I'm so glad for this change and for your noticing the change!!!!
Well I would say my dear...that is progress! I am so happy you had a day of fun, and no worries about body image. Did you get a sunburn by the way?
