Itsy Bitsy, Teeny Weeny

...white string bikini. I've always wanted a really cute, yet simple white bikini and I finally found one yesterday at Old Navy. It has a string-tie triangle cup top and a string bottom. I'm pretty satisfied with it. I don't really like bikinis that have too much going on. Sometimes they tend to look childish or attention-seeking. I think it says a lot more about how attractive you are if you can shine in something basic. But of course with bathing suit season comes the dreaded self-appraisal of one's body and the frantic, last minute workout regime that is sure to follow. As I did my 100 crunches while looking at my lil white bikini that I hung up for motivation, I did a bit of thinking. Let me make this clear: I'm not fat by any span of the imagination, not even chubby. In fact by most standards I'm pretty skinny. Most of my fat content is confined to my booty (which I have no desire to lose) and sometimes my tummy. Consider it a consequence of being so thin. After eating, or for no reason at all, my stomach seems to balloon out, causing me to resemble 2-3 month pregnant woman. Of course no one sees it but me. Everyone says I'm crazy and over critical of myself. Whatever its my body and I know what its supposed to look like. However I'm not going crazy with it. Its not worth getting an eating disorder over it. But with that said, if there is a time for a woman to obsess over her body, swimsuit season is it, well that and her wedding/honeymoon. I just wanna look my best, you know? Especially since I don't go on trips very often. I don't really even want to lose any weight. I just wanna tone up my abs. I also wish that I could magically remove some stretch marks I have but thats highly unlikely so I'm just gonna have to make my piece with them. Slightly bigger boobs would also be good but mine are ok. I guess small and perky is preferable to big and saggy. Although I am sure there are big breasted women who love having their big boobs, saggy or not. It just goes to show that everyone and every body is different. Different people appreciate different attributes. Different strokes for different folks and all that jazz lol.
