So, I am trying to decide if I am skinny enough or not to wear a bikini yet. I really want to because i have lost 20 pounds sice last summer but I am still 153ish. Im 5'5' and my BMI is a 25.5. So I am still overweight. I am not very tone on my stomache yet and I am scared that people will make fun of me because most the people at the pool I go to go to my school. I am worried that the guys will be like OMG she is way to fat to wear a bikini. Do people really judge you on what you look like in one? So should I do it or not? Sorry it is kinda long

BitsandPieces answered Sunday June 3 2007, 8:12 pm: You sound pretty cute to me! Guys appreciate curves, even if it is a little more than you would like to have. Statistically the men prefer a womanly shape to a boyish-too skinny model type anyway. Better to be a few extra pounds, confident and healthy, then to be an anorexic who does not feel good enough about herself no matter what she weighs. Another important fact is that beauty is very subjective, and one guys "kinda chubby" is another guys "just perfect." Having many male friends over the years has proven to me that they are not as critical of a woman's body as we females are, anyway. Stand up straight and tall, wear thongs or sandals with a little heel to them for height and practice holding your stomach in at all times. Don't drink soda or anything that is going to bloat you, making you appear bigger. Embrace your body and love yourself or no one else will.

viciousxpunk answered Sunday June 3 2007, 11:05 am: if you want to wear a bikini, i think you should. a lot of people that arent thin wear bikinis, its not that uncommon. and since youve lost so much weight, you should reward yourself somehow. if you steel are a little worried about wearing a bikini, you could always try a tankini. a tankini would be a good choice because it shows a little bit of your stomach, but not all of it. whatever you choose, be confident about it and it wont matter what youre wearing.

XSugarPieX77 answered Sunday June 3 2007, 2:03 am: You should just wear something that makes YOU feel comfortable in. If your having so much thought about wearing a bikini, try looking into a really cute 1 peice, or a tankini. Unfortunately, theirs always going to be people out their to "judge/make fun of others" and usually they just do it because their not comfortable with themselves. If you'd like any store websites with different bathing suits, let me know.Hope I helped! Happy Summer.

and besides think of it as a reward for loosing the weight!!!
if you still feel unconfortable.--keep up the good work. exercise and eat right!!!
