My youngest is now 10 (
How?!) and I’ve come to accept that this is the shape I’m left with!
I’m ok with it for the most part. In the last 10 years I’ve fluctuated between a size 8 (desperately miserable) and a 16 and am now a small 14 and whilst I’m happy enough with how I look in clothes, I hate the shelfy overhang thing from my 2 sections. It’s been a permanent fixture through all my sizes, and has never improved with exercise.
I’m hoping to go away for a week somewhere in the summer (COVID-19 depending as I’m a front line NHS worker and won’t be going anywhere if I think it’s too risky). I’d quite like to get a bikini for a change.
I’ve ordered about eleventy billion high waisted bikinis but all of them seem to showcase that shelfy bulge. I do have a tummy control swimsuit from next that flattens it out a bit so the shelf isn’t so obvious, but the tummy control bikini that I tried seemed to just be extra tight so that whilst my shelf was flatter, it all spilled out over the top of the bikini. It wasn’t pretty!
Sooooo. Has anyone found a bikini that makes you feel ok about the pooch?! My norks aren’t massive, so bonus marks if there’s an option for a strapless top too!
