Yesterday my dare was to wear my new bikini to the pool. I did it – even though I am still 20lbs away from my goal weight (and I gained 3lbs while on vacation last week) and I am self-conscious about my belly. I definitely felt self-conscious yesterday but I also felt free. We all have bodies and we have to live in them, I might as well enjoy mine and the feeling of sun on my skin is very enjoyable indeed.
