If Kirstie Alley can do it.

February 23rd, 2007

Kirstiealleyoprah
Y’all remember when Kirstie showed up on Oprah in a bathing suit?  Well, this may be the only time she has inspired me to anything.

I took pictures of myself in my bathing suit, my FOURTEEN DOLLAR Wal-Mart suit.  And I’m going to share them with you.  Gutsy, no?  I just thought, if I’m going to be in front of the actual public, why not share with the people who have read and encouraged through the whole "bathing suit" dilemma.  If anyone had told me one year ago (and 188 pounds) that I would be posting a picture of myself on the internet wearing a bathing suit,Dsc05011
I would have laughed…for monthsDsc05003_1
.
                        

Just a few things:
1.  Michelle, unfortunately, the price of the suit, was the sale price.  Originally they cost over $70.

2.  Lynette, when I said OxiClean, I meant for clothes.  I would not recommend that on your face.  (I think I spelled it with a "y" last night)

3.  I cropped my head off the picture because I was too scary, it was pre-shower, pre-contacts, pre-hairwashing.  I wanted you guys to stick around, so I cut my head off.

    You are a brave, brave woman for putting those pics up, but as Tracy said…you have NOTHING to worry about. You look amazing. Very toned, I don’t even see ANY traces of cellulite like so many of us have. Wow, Beth! Good for you! Kind of exhilirating to post that, huh?
    Oh and is that a tattoo on your left leg? I had no idea…what is it of?

    Thanks, girls. Amy, the cellulite is on the backside, I took a picture of my backside but it was, uh, blurry or something. (i.e. too atrocious to post)

    You look WONDERFUL!!! The thought of trying on suits for the summer, under those fluorescent lights, just gave me a sphincter pull. Too bad Wal Mart doesn’t serve cocktails. Totally kidding! :)

    You go girl! First, you look amazing! Second, I think we all feel a little/lot vulnerable in our bathing suits (I do)! Unless you’re a swim/lingerie model LOL! Third, I’m excited you’ll actually be somewhere that you can wear a swimsuit in FEBRUARY. Have a safe and awesome time!

    Um, you look f’ing great! I’m so jealous. I can’t believe you went from 188 to that! that’s really inspiring to me :)

    Hey, and I have that same monet over our bed but it’s more like a framed poster and doesn’t look as much like a painting as yours does. I love that one.
