Summer has been real in South Florida this year. With days on end of record breaking highs, the only option is to stay cool inside or in the water. In the past I would have spent my time inside of the house avoiding public places that would require me to strip down to a swim suit. Prior to this summer I avoided the beach and pool, and if I did show up, it definitely wasn’t in a swim suit.
This year has been much different for me. I’ve put all of my negative thoughts and self-loathing to the side to enjoy some fun in the sun. I was able to do this thanks to the great online community of plus size women that I’m part of. These women have inspired me to find comfort in my own skin, and the saying on my swim suit basically sums up the welcoming feel that I get from being part of the plus size fashion blogging community. I’m so grateful to be where I’m at right now in my body positive journey and back to soaking up some rays. After all, I have to take in as much vitamin D as I can before my big cross country move later this summer. 🙂
