That being said, I feel like I'm making some progress with my self-image. I know I'm overweight, but I'm in the weight loss process and having some success. For instance, I'm almost down a notch on my belt. I bought a swimsuit recently that shows slightly more skin than I've been comfortable with in the past. I don't totally loathe the reflection that stares back at me every day.
I've found myself wondering how thin I need to get before I feel comfortable wearing a bikini. I've seen some girls at the pool who are my size (maybe slightly smaller) wearing them. I am so glad for them that they have the confidence and are comfortable enough in their skin to wear them. However, I am not there. I will get there, but I'm not there yet. But what is the line? At what point do I look in the mirror and say, "You know what? I think I'll put on a bikini today." Is it when I've achieved a certain pants size? Is it when I've lost a specific amount of weight? Is it when I start to see definition in my abs? I don't know what that point is, but I'm so excited to eventually get there.
Today's photo comes to you from my babysitting gig.
