7 Stages of Swimsuit Selection

1. Shock & Denial. This is not my body. This is NOT my body. These are not my boobs, this is not my ass, these are not my thighs. No, no, no. This is not happening.
2. Pain & Guilt. This sucks. What was I thinking eating whatever I wanted for the last few months? I deserve this ass. I deserve this stomach. I suck.
3. Anger. What are you looking at? You've never seen a woman surrounded by 15 bathing suits and three pints of ice cream? Go to hell. You're the one who caused me to look like this. You and your fucking sperm. Go. Now.

4. Depression, Reflection, and Loneliness. Why am I sitting here alone? It's because I look like this, isn't it? Nobody wants me.
5. The Upward Turn. It's not even July. I don't have to look like this all summer! I can start a diet now. No carbs. No sugar. Gallons of water. Here I go!
6. Reconstruction & Working Though. OK, so maybe not no carbs. Light carbs. A little sugar. Iced tea.
7. Acceptance. I'm never going to rock the swimsuit again. Pass the Ben and Jerry's. And the cover-up.

OOOOR, you could not give a f*ck about what everyone else thinks and rock a bathing suit that suits your body :D ... There's really one for every one...

So we should just give up, be unhealthy, and hate our bodies?? What a great message...
Or, you could get off the couch, put down the ice cream, get out and enjoy life while working up a sweat. Then, at 50+ you could have your 10-15 years younger girlfriends be jealous of you in your rockin' new bikini.... It IS possible.
