Facing Facts and Fears

I faced facts and my fears yesterday. I had been promising to take Bella to the indoor pool in our community. I had also come to the realization that I needed to lose 15lbs. So, we packed our things and headed to the rec center where I would be able to work out and then together we could go swimming. The only problem - all I own are bikinis - bikinis from when I was happy with my figure. Obvious solution: we stop at TJ Max to shop for a one piece. They had one in my size, and it wasn't exactly in my size. So, I did what any mom would do. I went to the pool with my daughter, signed her up for swim lessons, and I put last summer's bikini on my pasty 15lbs heavier body. I would not do this for anyone else on the entire planet. Then we came home and made rice krispy treats.
