Enormous great WOW!!
Might not seem like much to some, but i have just had what has probably been my best wow moment since this journey began.
I'm two weeks post tummy tuck and today i bought my first ever bikini. I'm 45 years old this year and i have never in my life worn a bikini before. True, from the side and rear view i've still got an arse like a sharpei....but baby, from the front i have a waist and a flat stomach....everything looks so in proportion!! And the weather over here is great at the moment...WOO HOO!!

WooHoo
I'm very happy to hear you like the 'new' you. Everyone deserves that!!
However, I don't care to hear about your nice weather!  I'm still waiting for spring here.
Now, since it's nice there, put the bikini on and go show off that stomach!!!

Jules;
Not seem like much?
This is a HUGE wow moment, and I think it's wonderful. It's great that you now have the confidence to wear a bikini, and with your head held high!
I bet your really going to enjoy the summer!

I've never even considered this
Congratualtions! I have thought a lot about clothes, but I never even considered a bikini! You have lit a fire in my imagination!
How about a photo??

Jules, congratulations--that must be a wonderful feeling!
How about board shorts to go with a bikini top, for anyone with butt and thigh issues?
I almost, almost bought a pair of these in anticipation of losing weight before my weddingmoon trip to the Keys last year (good thing I didn't as I've done nothing but gain since then)-- they'd still let someone wear a two-piece but not have to worry about a saggy butt showing. I can't wait to really get them someday!!
