Plus Size Apple Shape Women can feel sexy at the pool too!


Plus Size Apple Shape Women can feel sexy at the pool too! 

One of the best purchases is my swim suit.  I LOVE my black one-piece swim suit skirt.  It’s made by Merona.  I had to buy a larger size than I normally wear, which women HATE to do, but I’m very glad I did.  Don’t hesitate to go larger if it looks better!  Many apple shape women have nice legs, larger breast, decent arms but we suffer from the large GUT.  Hide the gut and show off those legs women!  NOBODY could have convinced me I would look half way decent in a suit- but I do.  My suit really does an EXCELLENT job hiding my stomach and showing off my legs.  My thinner pear shape friend (brat!) said “Wow you really have nice legs!”  Yes, the pear shape gave ME a compliment!  I always wanted to be a pear shape woman, but I’m gonna WORK with what I got.  


I was too embarrassed to go to the pool until I made a promise not to be so hard on myself!  I was determined to FEEL GOOD about going to the pool.  I’m an all or nothing type of person, so not only did I go to the pool but I held a family/friend pool party.   We spent several hours outside the pool but I wore my swimsuit the entire time.  I wore a beautiful sun hat (super inexpensive at Target), make up all done up, hair in a cute bun, bronze Jergen’s natural glow (cheap at Walmart), pedi/manicure (coupons women!!), light see-through open front swim suit cover (this is actually a dress shirt that I turned in a perfect swim suit cover for when I’m out of the pool), and cute sandals (paid $5bucks for!).  It takes some effort but anyone can look nice with an inexpensive budget! The compliments kept coming……even from the thin/fit ones.   We had a blast and I felt wonderful. 

Be good to yourself and get some swimming in this summer! 

*****Living Strong wrote an article claiming swimming (light to moderate) can lose ½ pound per week without any other changes.  That was motivating to add to my weight loss journey.  I LOVE swimming!  Everyone knows the benefit of swimming on joints and muscle pain but what I noticed is I can tread water, swim, and stay active (light to moderate) for a LONG time!  My time working out in the pool is much easier, more enjoyable, and rejuvenating.  Be kind to yourself and get in that pool.  *****
