I went into the Y pool to exercise I was so self conscious.

Then I looked around at those exercising. Guess what? Who cares?

You are there to stay healthy!

and was worried about going to the beach. she said to me afterwards, “my god, there were women there in bikinis with thighs bigger than my waist!”

She said after that she never felt self conscious again.

I find the older I get the more invisible I get to the general public, so it doesn’t matter what I wear anyway. Although not quite ready for a bikini body, I admire anyone who does.
I do have a lot of fashion advice from the bag lady. Very comfortable.

not to have a bikini body; there are things that, if seen, can never be unseen. Great fashion advice, though.

I have two fashion rules:

1. I'm clean, covered and comfortable.

2. If you don't like it, don't look.
