If it is any help, it gets easier. I am finally in a place, whereby I can stand myself. I bought the cutest bikini last week and I love myself in it :P I think you are still pretty underweight and your perspective may still be a little off. Keep fighting and remember: start a revolution, stop hating your body!

Ooh... I'm glad you found a great bathing suit too! I know mentally that my perception is still a bit off -- and I need to work on it. Although the idea of more weight seems terrifying, I know that the only direction it should be going is up. Some day I'll get there... I guess I'm just a bit of a work in progress. =) Thanks for the comment.

Shopping for a swimsuit can be hard and sometimes scarey. However I sell a variety of swimsuits for all women that are all shapes. From skinny girls to Plus size women. Once you find something that flatters your shape then it will be easy !

arielleleebair is so right accurate perception of oneself does take longer to come back if it ever comes completely but the longer you hold in recovry the more chance you have of it returning:) I really like the bathing suit hun and its a great step up from the black onepiece. Honestly you did well, its not an easy thing and really a great challenge for me too. Any clothes shopping for that matter! xo

Wow- 3 years since buying your last bathing suit! Good for you! Well done. :) I like the suit. It's really quite cute! I know how hard it can be to like what you see in the mirror even as your mental state/physical state improves. Accurate perception can be one of the last things to return...if it ever does completely. Really proud of you--and I don't mean that in a condescending way at all. Have fun in the cute suit!

Ok.... That bathingsuit (from what I could see) was very cute! I like the "boy shorts" look too. Just remember....and this is coming from someone who spent over half their life in a swimsuit...once you go in the water and it gets wet, suits tend to stretch! So, while you may want to buy the "bigger size", resist and buy the 1 that fits perfectly as it will get bigger....when wet! Congrats on the positive shopping day! xo~a
