If they do, it's not obvious. I don't worry about what anyone else thinks...I just go and have a good time and my husband loves me for me! I'm blessed...so plan your vacation...have a wonderful time and don't worry about what anyone else seems to think. Chances are, they're so self-conscious that they're not worrying about you---they're worrying about themselves!

I'm constantly asking myself, "Why?" Why do I want to go to the beach? Why do I want to go to NYC? Why do I want to go swimming? Why do I want to go to that amusement park? Why do I want to go dancing? The answer to these questions for me is to spend quality time with my husband and kids. I want to have fun. When I put going for a walk on the beach with my husband into perspective, I don't really care what others think of my jiggly thighs and big boobs. All I know is that my husband adores me and my kids love me and they don't see what I think others see. Take a good look at yourself and make a list of what you love about you and what your husband loves about you. Focus on those things and then go to the beach. Have a drink and don't stress about it! There are much worse things in life than being fat. It's really about giving yourself permission to not obsess about your body and what COMPLETE STRANGERS think. Allow yourself a small moment to "live without limits"! I'll bet you'll like it! This is a daily battle for me, as well. however, it's become a process to loving what the good Lord gave me.

I absolutely love that you did this...it is not cheesy in any way! As a bigger girl, I can empathize about the beach and wish you all of the luck in the world at getting where you want to be.

The end. <br>2) Wear shorts and a t-shirt. Screw a bathing suit if you're not comfortable. <br>3) Psh...who says you need alcohol to have fun?! <br>4) He's with you through thick and thin...no pun intended. <br>Just say eff it and actually go have fun! Take the excuses out of the equation every so often. <br>Sorry for the long comment...sheesh. hahaha. I go back through my excuses. So for you it goes:
