Hi all,

I am going on holiday next week, to the place where two years ago I was openly mocked by a bunch of teenagers when I got into the swimming pool. Now I'm almost 2 and a half stones lighter, I'm hoping that I will be a bit more confident

I know I still have a long way to go, but when I try my swimsuit on now, I feel better about myself. I hope that all of you who have lost weight, and are about to show your bodies at the beach or pool are proud of what you have achieved!

Well Done

Have a lovely holiday

That must have been horrendous for you at the time! I used to live in fear of something like that happened and so I haven't been swimming in years. Silly that some little d*cks can have so much control over how we feel about ourselves and our confidence.
I hope you have a wonderful time and that you feel fabulous!

What a horrible thing for you to have endured, I'm so sorry and hope you have a really lovely time. You are doing SO well, congratulations and go for it girl,

Have a fab time and don't listen to teenagers! They have so many hormones that if it wasn't for their exploding pimples they would explode themselves!!!

Honeybee, I bought a bathing suit last year and it was a bit snug hoping for a little weight loss. I started 5 2 in April and this summer my suit is way too big! Wearing the big suit makes me feel wonderful knowing how far I have come. Holding off on the smaller size until next summer because...well, you know.

Have a great time! You go Girl!!! You can do it!

Hi honeybee I haven't had a cozy on for years because of same fear so sorry the little sh*** upset you at the time but keep your chin up as you've done amazingly well and should be proud of your achievements have a brilliant holiday + enjoy the cozy Sue

Be brave and rock that swimsuit like the sexy 5:2'er you are and have a great time!

Well, I'm back and it went well. I felt fine about myself, not fantastic, but ok, if you get me! I was brave enough to go into the steam room too (no water to hide in in there!) but I survived it. I hope that next year will be even better. Thanks for your replies, you are all such a fantastic bunch and you've helped me so much.

Really pleased that you had a good holiday and overcame your 'demons'. It's great that you felt so much better about yourself.
This year I have been to the local swimming pool with my grandaughter and despite still needing to lose loads, I felt so much more confident getting in and out of the pool and changing. I really don't want my grandaughter to have the same 'hang ups' that I have had all my life!

Hi Honeybee, welcome back and great to hear how it went. Glad you are feeling better about yourself, yep, next year will be even better,
