Help I am going to be the fatty!

[GemsAngels]

I am going away for 4 days with about 15 women and Im so so paronoid, Iv been working myself into a panic, its ridiculous! I feel I dont want to go!
I need some words of support pretty please!!
I am a size 16 and have lumps and bumps everywhere. I know there are gonna be all shapes and sizes but Im so nervous about getting my kit off as the girls Im going with I dont socialise with them, went to school with a couple of them and organised this trip a year ago. I have to buy a new swim suit as I dont own one and Im thinking oh I cant do it.
Am I being silly? I wish I had the confidence to think oh what the hell! I know how women can be and I hate the thought of people thinking ew yuk!

Well I am a size 20. I could come with you to make you look good?
Size 16 is not huge is it? I wouldn't worry about it. I am sure you look great.
We are never happy with our size. When I was a size 16, I used to think I was big and horrible and now that I am a size 20 I would love to be a size 16 again!

Thanks toofattorun :)
Its not huge, and in clothes Im ok. When it comes to taking my kit off its sole destroying :(
I dont mind being a size 16 just would love to be alittle firmer. Oh and not have a jelly belly!

Just posted this on your other thread.

Throw your head back and your chin up. No one cares how fat you are because they will all be similarly paranoid about their eye bags/varicose veins/wobbly arse/saggy norks/freaky toes/rancid BO. And everyone has lumps and bumps, yours are probably not at all hideous, you are bound to be quite normal. A 16 is voluptuous and curvy.

The ones who seem confident are the ones who have thrown their heads back and their chins up. Fake the confidence - no one can see how you feel.

Not all women think ew yuk at anyone over a size 10, and if they do, fuck 'em! If anyone looks down their nose at you, fling a crab at them.

Above all, enjoy your holiday. Smile and you will look lovely.

Is that you on the 4th photo down on your pictures? You are very very pretty! With a face like that, trust me, no one will be looking at your thighs. Any snooty looks will be jealousy. Gorgeous gorgeous girls too.

Thankyou EmmaNess :) Just read your post!
Yes that is me! Aw Thankyou, thats very kind of you.
Im going to try and throw my head back. I want to, just panicking stupidly really!
Thanks again :)

Blimey girl! Just had a nose at your photo after reading what EmmaNess said. If that is you, I think you need to be purchasing a stick to beat the men off with!! Seriously you are beautiful and it would be a shame for you to be sat there worrying about a little bit of wobble when others are envying your looks! Realise you are blessed woman! Oh, and enjoy your holiday. Where are you off to?

EmnaNess I think I love you. Really.

I've had the Shittest day after gaining weight this week despite my sticking to my diet fabulously....I'm off on holiday in 5 weeks and trying so hard, its taking over my excitement of going away with my dh for our late honeymoon.

You've just made me really slap myself. I think we should listen to her Gem!

Aw toofattorun Im blushing, thankyou :)
I shouldnt worry, but cant help it. Iv always been the same. Im definitely working on the confidence thing :)
We are off to Majorca, its a 4 day hol with lots of girlies, should be fun.
Iv just got to get the initial striptease out of the way on arrival, and then I should be ok. Iv been sending myself into such a panic, so silly sometimes.

Yes defo MelodyPondering :)
Thankyou lovely ladies, feel better already :)

Ladies I have my swimming costume. Its fab but doesnt hide the cellulite on the tops of my legs and now I cant find a sarong to match.
Im looking for a red or black one if anyone has any ideas??

How about a beach dress. It's really difficult to find sarongs nowadays!
