Bikini-how old is too old? (Page 2)

No farting in the supermarket aisles? What? Really?

only in the cheese aisle

in my opinion, a thong is for private consumption, not public, even if the bod in question is totally hot.     flossing is not a public activity

Age has nothing to do with it.  Believe me, I have been subjected to enough "biscuit" dough jeans overhang of the younger generation to know better.

If you have a good body you can get away with showing some skin in the appropriate setting, like a two piece swimsuit (when there is water involved, please), regardless of age.  If you look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man, you are not going to look good and I don't care if you are 16, 18, 20, whatever, you don't get a pass.  It's just a bad visual.

Ok I'm gonna have to get a ruling from you guys on this when I get home. I've recently lost a ton of weight (so far about 62 lbs) and I have bought a bikini for this summer. Now we have a party to go to on Saturday and DH wants me to wear the bikini. I'm not sure I'm "ready" for it yet. Now, DH says yes, as long as I stand up straight (LOL) but I still see the fat girl when I look in the mirror so I'm not sure I can pull it off.

I'd like some honest opinions please. And don't feel the need to blow sunshine up my red bike, cause I don't need that. I need to know if I'm gonna be snickered at. As a former fat girl, I've had enough of the snickers to last a lifetime (double entendre intended).

I'll post a pic when I get home. Reassurance if I'm good to go or some constructive criticism if I still need to lose a few more before wearing it.

Now, don't everyone say wear it if you are comfortable and who cares what others think. As a former chubster, that's not a legit thing to say. Clearly, I care. I need opinions from people other than the one I'm married to.

thanks, I'll be home in about an hour...

Ok- tell me, is this a go or a no go for a pool party this weekend? And you won't hurt my feelings, if you say no go, really.

I do *not* want to be "that girl" that's wearing something she shouldn't...

Again, I will state, without judgment, that you can't go wrong with modesty (applies to both men and women of all ages and body types)

Edited to add: I posted this before the pic was up, so my advice is totally unrelated to the pic.

LOL, don't worry I saw that! Still, no one is gonna hurt my feelings, trust me. I figure cyber world is a much better testing ground than a party where I have no where to run and hide! 

This my frame of reference. My before pic.

Well, I could post a pic of me in a bikini and erase all doubt from everyone else.

Nice pic suzanne! You look great and I too can identify with the fat past. Love your word chubster! I call one of my cats chubber

And yeah phoenix - good point about modesty and men.

Thanks- I love the chubster word too. I call all babies chubsters (cause they're cute when they're chubby!)

Like I said before, I see the before me in the mirror. I'm working on the courage for the party. Don't have a sarong. A cute pair of shorts maybe? We'll see. I've got 5 more days to obsess about it before we go...
