But we're usually our own worst critic. I'm sure you still looked fabulous :-)</p> <p>I'm terrified of this - I'm going to FL to visit family in June and I'll be about 5 months post partum then. I'm too nervous to try on bathing suits, including the ones I had pre-pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52721 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 09:58:31 +0000 mrstilly 52721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Florida to alys beach when ds was 5 weeks old. I wore a bathing suit for 4 days. I still had extra weight, and wasn't thrilled with how I looked at all, but at some point i had to ignore it and just go on about my day. I found an ok suit at Target. I didn't have $$ to spend on a nicer one from vs or jcrew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52670 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:53:39 +0000 venice4504 52670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's the main reason I order from VS or JCrew and try them on in my own house, with my own mirror and my own lighting. It's really not that scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52653 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:47:15 +0000 EmmeBaby 52653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to be off-topic, went out for dinner with LO tonight with friends. It was a big gathering -- anyhow, there was a girl that was 2mths PP and she LOOKS GREAT. I couldn't help but stare at her mid-section. You are not alone Rubies, I'm almost 9mths PP and I'm still in the same boat :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52620 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 22:35:21 +0000 Rubies 52620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Oooooooooooh...Maybe I should by a maternity one!

I'm sure you looked fab though :) we are always our own worst critic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52568 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:38:30 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 52568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are brave. I am not so brave. I tried stuffing myself into my old one not so long ago and I wanted to cry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52562 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:27:11 +0000 heffalump 52562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had to wear a bathing suit (thank goodness I don't) I would be wearing my maternity one with a skirt on it to cover my legs. But again, thank goodness I don't have to!</p> <p>How did you're LO like swimming class? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52514 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:22:25 +0000 chopsuey 52514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: wow! good for you! I haven't worn a bathing suit in over 3 years! seriously, dressing room lighting is the WORST. I'm sure you looked fine! Especially since you went swimming with your LO! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52512 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:17:13 +0000 Rubies 52512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: We started swim classes with the LO today and I wore a bathing suit I had from ages ago that was put in the "huge clothes" pile...Yeah, needless to say, it's too small for me! I looked like a stuffed sausage. Hence, bathing suit shopping. Le sigh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52504 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:35:40 +0000 BoogieBea 52504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're brave! I'm also 6 months postpartum. I can't imagine putting on a swim suit right now. You should totally wear it proudly though! Have fun on your trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-went-bathing-suit-shopping-today-ugh#post-52499 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:20:41 +0000 Rubies 52499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5.5 months post partum and while I'm trying not to care too much that I'm still carrying 12-15lbs of pregnancy weight, I cut myself some slack because hello, I had a baby. So, suck it, self-esteem! </p> <p>But then going bathing suit shopping today totally zapped me of any confidence. Why does fitting room lighting and tight bathing suits make me looks so gross? I told the hubs that I'll be happy sunbathing in Florida wearing a snowsuit. ;)</p> <p>Pity party anyone? (I'm not really that sad...Just feeling blah). </p>
