𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟒𝟓…𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭.


I’ve been to Key West the last two years and if you know the slew of gorgeous women that I am surrounded with, then you know there is an absolute dread about getting into a bathing suit and how your body looks compared to others. In fact, based on how I’ve changed I should have been even more worried, but strangely enough, I wasn’t. I was looking forward to getting into those tiny bikinis that show so much skin. Bikinis where there was nowhere to hide the extra layer of fat that my body was holding onto. Nowhere to hide the extra pounds that came from all the cookies I’ve indulged in and all the mimosas I’ve drunk. Bikinis that showed all the cellulite on my thighs and butt, and the crepey skin on my arms and neck. Normally, I would stress over the pudgy scars that can be seen on my sides from my breast lift that didn’t heal as I would have hoped. Or the dog ears from my tummy tuck that stick out farther now that I’ve gained weight.


Yes, I can see it all, yet strangely, I was still looking forward to putting those bikinis on and strutting my stuff. And strut I did. I felt beautiful. I felt powerful and strong. I felt daring and courageous. I felt empowered.
I felt sexy. I felt, dare I say it….C-o-n-f-i-d-e-n-t.


I know what you are thinking. Okay, but how? How did you overlook all that and still feel confident? What magic pill did you take and how much is it going to cost? There is no way I can do that. All I have to say to you babe is, 𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍! That’s the amazing thing. Everyone can do it! All it takes is want and willingness.
