Ugh...went to a theme park/water park this past week and getting into a bathing suit in front of people was hard! I admit, I'm soooo hard on myself...so very self-conscious that it's ridiculous. And I'm trying hard not to give voice to my body-bashing because I have two daughters...one will be 13 next month and an 11 y/o. I hate for them to hear any negative comments about body size, shape, whatever. Soooo...I put on my bathing suit...and I had fun! I did, however, wear board shorts over my suit...

So I'm back on the Pilates band wagon. I wish I would hold myself more accountable, though. I just let things overwhelm me and then I say I'm too busy, I don't have time, I'm too tired.

Even though my dd is only 3.5, I have to watch what I say body-wise around her, too. I don't want her growing up like I did and hating everything about her body. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself at the water park, and hope you're able to stay on the Pilates wagon! :hugs:

Just budding in here to say, It's funny that I NEVER heard anyone talk about negative body images when I was young, and I still have a very self consious feeling about my body. Even when was smaller, I still had a hard time in bathingsuits. Grrrr, why are we soooooooooo darn hard on ourselves? LOL

I know how you feel about the bathing suit....we are not friends :hugs:

I am really bad about negative talk about myself BUT I am doing better and working on my body. My kids are seeing me eat healthy and exercise (in fact that are walking along with me)!

I grew up with my MOm always dieting so I guess I definitely followed in her footprints. I also am very self-conscious but I was that way way back when I was thing too ...UGH!!

You can do it!! I totally understand about the bathing suit thing; just have to keep reminding myself I look better than LAST summer, lol!

Hey, if you ever want to, Allyn and I try to keep each other accountable though email. Or I'm sure that others here would be willing to do the same thing.
