This is the first time in my life since I was a kid that I am counting the months down until Summer. I spent the past 15 years of my life covering up or not wearing a bikini at all because I was ashamed of my size. The past two years have been an amazing journey into discovering my self worth & breaking down the barriers that made me unhappy for so long. Heck, thanks to @gabifresh my bikini clad bootay was on the Today Show last year! I never thought I would have the guts to wear a bikini at my size, much less share photos of me doing so with the world. But, I have & I love ME- double digits & all. Say what you want, tell me to lose weight, etc & I will smile- because the difference with the bullies & myself is they hide behind the protective veil of the internet & I am out living loud & proud…no apologies.
