So I've been working on the ole body image thing for some time now. Insecurity has played a major role in how I feel about my body. So today I took the bikini by the balls! I gave my insecurity a big F--- You! I went and bought a bikini and wore it on the beach...downtown HB in the summer! And you know what??? I totally almost cried! But...no one screamed out that there was a whale on the beach, no one threw up when they looked at me and I have kinda cool tan lines from the day. Now...I'm not totally crazy I did lay down almost immediately after I took off my cover up and managed to hold off a few panic attacks! Holly and Ashley were there to support me...telling me I looked hot - stretch marks and all! I think they're pretty awesome :) I don't know if I'll do it again but I have to say it was pretty empowering - staring a major fear in the eyes and telling it to suck it! Ladies - throw on those bikinis and let's go to the beach!

Body Breakthrough or Total Insanity?
