So far, though, I haven't been able to drag myself to the pool that I thought I missed so much! However, yesterday, I dug through my drawers until I found the stack of bathing suits I used to wear on Johnston Island when I was swimming regularly. I tried them on this morning. There is NO WAY those stinking things don't fit! I have lost so much weight that I have to wear a belt with size 4 jeans to keep them from falling around my ankles. And yet a size 10 Speedo is almost too small for me! I don't remember them being so tight when I was on JI, and I weighed 15 or 20 pounds more then... Or maybe I was in denial about needing a bigger size and squeezed myself into them even though they're too small? Maybe I was more toned since I was swimming and running all the time? Who knows... I just know they're uncomfortably tight now. Do they stretch out in the water? I don't remember?
So... I decided to order a couple more suits from SwimOutlet.com. I bought some Club Swim suits in size 10 in hopes that don't run as small as Speedos. One is this:
How cute is that? Who'da thunk I'd like CAMO?! But I love it!
I like these 2-piece suits for two reasons. #1. I don't have a necessarily long torso, but one-piece suits tend to shrink up and make me have to hunch over to prevent the suit from crawling up my crotch and crack (crude, but oh so true). And #2 they have tie waists to keep them from slipping off (very convenient).
Now if I can just get over this crud that I have so I can get back in the pool... Buying more suits is definitely a big motivator!
