I am 12.5% SMALLER than the size I see myself as!

17.5 %! but I guessed at the measurements. I will do it again with real measurements.

I'm not even going to list my results. Suffice to say it was seriously disappointing.

Even more so after I went shopping with my MIL yesterday and she was picking out the most boxy, hideous, shapeless things in the shop for me.

It's not helping my self-confidence, even with a fantastically excellent bra that makes me feel cover model worthy (which I got at a great price, for Australia). I'm thinking maybe it's not as good as it makes me feel. My self-confidence is seriously shaken. Ballet class & the leotards tonight will not help my self-image.

I don't know if I can resist the urge to drown my sorrows with a mug of hot cocoa and a few Tim Tams.

dorothyinAus , even though the numbers say reality is better than perception, I still feel like a bloated beached whale. Geting ready to go on holiday is not joyful this time around.

aMrsin09 I have a bathing suit I love! And I think it looks great on me. But my self-confidence has really been shaken. I thought I looked so much better than both the numbers there and apparently other people do.

I kind of don't want to go anywhere anymore.

I am a little bit smaller, but I made up the measurements, so who really knows? I conveniently "lost" my measuring tape around the time I gained 20 pounds after having DD2.

I was only 2.5% off, despite obsessing over my tummy
